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

The idea of not securing your car in some way seems absolutely mental. This was the fault of the parents.

You think Calvin didn't release the brake and put it in neutral before pushing it? I knew you had to do that at a pretty young age.

It seems boners now, but back in the 90s, especially in small towns, people would never lock their cars

Well certainly even today most of us don't lock our cars in our own garage.

And as for keeping it from being pushed, it was easier to get a stopped car into neutral when they were manual transmission. Not sure the parents could have practically done much more besides supervising Calvin more closely

Bet she locks it from now on... If she still has a car to lock.
