I ask myself the same question everyday, Hobbes.

Calvin is going to use a PAY PHONE, kids. The quarter will get him one non-long distance phone call.

You can laugh now.

Cool, cool… But how does he have an insurance agent? Isn’t he 8?

Poor, poor, Susie. I'm sure she secretly loved Calvin's antics.

The last time I got in a shopping cart while out with my mom, I was 18. It was surprisingly difficult to get into, but I still remember the cackling laugh I got when I said “cmon let’s gooooo! You can do it!”

naw, its a decent piece. that said, it doesnt really contain any new information. its just a summation of what everyone already knows.

JohnnyH842,

Context is important, as this is a theoretical/opinion piece. I found it interesting but certainly not absolute.

BitSound,

It is, but the article was fine. Had some interesting history, but the thing most people here will probably care about is that Bill Watterson has a new book coming out: www.simonandschuster.com/books/…/9781524884949

I just wanna say, thanks for doing this. Checking for the day’s comic is as nice as it must’ve been back in the day in the funnies section

MrSebSin,

Glad you are enjoying it! It was very fun as a kid reading the daily comics in the newspaper and it really sucked when you missed a day. I love binging stuff these days, but there is something to be said about getting something one piece at a time and wanting more. Speaking of which, we are officially caught up on back posts. From here on it will be that days comic only.

Albbi,

I want to second thanking you for this. I followed /r/calvinandhobbbes and it’s great when those communities can be found here as well.

duckington, in Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!
CarlsIII,

Thank you

So I’m now earning 6% on the money I didn’t spend.

Money market fund? Bitcoin wallet? No my friends, in the days of yore a person could earn serious interest on a regular old savings account.

But who asked the question: Calvin or Hobbes?

Neither of them.

“Why not?”

I wonder if this is the first time Calvin realized dad is full of shit, like, all the time…

I don’t really recall another one where he calls him out, it’s usually mom that does it.

Anyone know?

I wanted to know so badly: I’m learning about fuel injection now. I guess I know more about my weed-wacker now, too (We only use carburetors for small engines, now).

They're super neat! They shoot compressed air into little drops of gas to make the perfect fuel/air mixture to make a tiny explosion!

Here's a video describing the whole process and with lots of slow motion shots of the event happening! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=toVfvRhWbj8

It’s kind of fun that the first automotive fuel injectors were just an electronic version of a carburetor: it would just squirt some fuel in by the throttle body instead of the more modern multiport injection further up the manifold or high-pressure piezo injectors directly into the cylinder.

grue,

I feel like the air is kinda the opposite of compressed, but I like your comment anyway!

Don’t you hate it when this happens?

I have to chuckle at how complex everyone makes working under the sink. It’s not really that complicated. I love the plunger in the bucket. That’s a nice touch. 🤣

moistclump,

And water everywhere!!!

Maeve,

Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink.

Well that I find to be the most believable part (and the list of expletives). Ever take a p-trap off and not spill any water? 😂

Unforeseen,

If only water spills out of a p-trap I’d consider myself blessed

Excellent point. 🤣

From a high level, small plumbing repairs are easy: screw hoses together, water flows down hill. The devil is in the details and oh boy is it quite a devil. Parts are often rusted in place. Trying to shut an old valve can just as easily create an additional leak. In many American homes, working on a kitchen sink is especially difficult because it is built into a narrow cabinet and there may be a garbage disposal and dishwasher hookup getting in the way.

That conventional sunday strip layout must have been hell to work with.

SpaceNoodle,

He did some [even more] amazing work once he had enough pull to demand full half-page spreads.
