Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 14, 2019

They plan to interrogate and mentally torture for you for 6 hours later today.

Not enough “friendly” in this world or any other.

you’d think Spiff’s eyewear would double as sunglasses when it comes to the blazing sun

Oh c’mon Calvin, you know you want to get to school so you can torment Susie. What’s for lunch today, maggots and slime?

It says something when even your imaginary world is against you…

I love the “hostiles” in the strip.

It’s terrible when the day gets off to a sluggish start.

And Spaceman Spiff is captured yet again!

Panel #4 is WONDERFUL! I saved it: I’m sure Someone will get a laugh out of it on Mother’s Day.

Calvin may hate school but he knows that planets orbit stars.

Spaceman Spiff, the hostile alien space invader, gets to experience the best that planet X-351-A offers its children. Maybe they will teach him about Earth and Earthlings.

Gah, this story arc goes on for a long time…

It was the incessant probing that bothered me.

Cadet Spiff…your agonizer, please.

Reminds me of a newer strip when bed kept calling to sleep in.

And so enters the Momster.

One of the many things I love about Spaceman Spiff is how the lenses in his glasses change shape in every panel
