Yes, Calvin & Hobbes’ babysitter storylines are always such a laugh. One would think that if Calvin hated Rosalynn so much he’d behave for one of the other sitters but we all know he doesn’t have enough self control for that

Was the second panel supposed to have more dialogue for Calvin? Seems like a lot of bubble space for so few words.

This is the reality of parenting nobody ever warna you about

Great strip, but the image quality was #%*^ on my old eyes.

DrFuggles,

I think it depends on how your app handles previews? I used to get really grainy images on sync before a recent update.

wahming,

This particular image is somewhat low res, might be what OP’s talking about

nocturne213,

The preview looks fine, other than being too small for me to read. When I zoom in on each panel, as I do on all of these, it is fairly blurry. This is an issue with the scan from GoComics.

Is this a precursor to the propeller beanie saga? I remember a panel where Calvin is vibrating from eating so much sugar.

Oh, this saga! I love this one.

I miss Calvin and Hobbes. I really respected Bill Watterson's work. Can anyone tell me how I can get a decal of Calvin peeing on Hobbes for my pickup truck, 'cause that would really be great.....

Not sure if you are being facetious, but Bill Watterson never endorsed those stickers and as far as I know even tried to stop them at one point.

tygerprints,

That's exactly what I am being. Because Watterson went to such great lengths to try to keep his creations from being misused and mass marketed to sell other products. And also, it's a line from the Simpsons - Moe says, "If you could get me a decal of Calvin peein' on Hobbes, that would be great!" Well - it's funny in a kind of sad way if you think about it.

Rodeo,

He’ll be all right.

Actually, my guess is that Calvin turns into an anarcho-communist vigilante who goes postal by age 20.

No he fell into depression during his teen, experience failure after failure. Finally in his 40s he got diagnosed for adhd and receive treatment.

I feel ya, Suzie. Apologies are so empty.

Deep Thoughts, by Calvin

wildginger, in 1 January 1987

This comic means something very different now than it did then

CaptnNMorgan,

What does it mean now?

wildginger,

Most kids nowadays, and more going forward, are gonna think he is tracking in mud

CaptnNMorgan,

Is there really less snow now than 10-20 years ago? I was raised in Michigan and there was lots of snow. But I moved to Arizona when I was a teenager so I stopped seeing snow for obvious reasons. Do the northern states have less snow than they used to?

wildginger,

The belt of “no snow year round” in the US has been scotting up bit by bit every year.

Around where I live, we havent had snow in town in 2-3 years. This year, we cant see snow on the closest mountain.

Icy roads used to be a concern starting in late october to november, and wasnt gone until first week of march. This year they dont think ice is gonna be a concern at all.

Its starting to get there.

CaptnNMorgan,

Wooow. That’s really fucking sad. Heartbreaking almost. Snow can feel so magical in the right conditions.

wildginger,

I have an ecology background, and it is a little crushing. All the more reason to try and reverse climate change, but its a pretty tangible reminder.

Might come out of your eyes. Especially if you’re able to keep your eyes open during the sneeze.

threelonmusketeers, (edited )

If I recall correctly, the MythBusters tested “sneezing with your eyes open”, and the sneeze does not come out your eyes.

Edit; found the clip: youtu.be/RoEqPnx7-Gs

Ahh the 80’s where we casually joked about low level child abuse.

Anticorp, (edited ) in 4 December 1986

I had a babysitter like that. One girl literally kicked my ass when I refused to go to bed, as in she kicked me right in the ass and told me more was coming if I didn’t get. Just like with Calvin, it worked. I went to bed and shut up.
