Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.

Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly cited as "the last great newspaper comic",[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes

Mom, give Calvin a break, he's at least more concerned with safety than your average boy with gunpowder.

Source: My uncle who basically blew off his balls as a kid playing with gunpowder. His kids are all IVF.

Lol there was this kid back in school. Not the brightest lad. Him and another one of my friends were lighting off homemade fireworks.

After one of them didn't go off, Thomas went over and looked down the tube. His face got it pretty good, he didn't have eyebrows for almost an entire school year.

Former friend found a container of gunpowder when we were in 6th grade. He poured it into a fast food cup and tried using a shoelace as a fuse, when that did not work he stood over the cup and dropped in a lit match. 30ish years later he still does not have eyebrows.

I gave your mom a fifth of a nut.

(I don't know what that means.)

I do. She says she misses you and is wondering why you won't call. I'm only gonna say this once: you better fucking call my mom.
