    I wonder how Rosalyn is doing in life. If she existed, of course.

    Honestly pretty wholesome how even trough the tense situation the mother is able to communicate her worry and dangers that Calvin didn’t think of

    Only five dollars? I know it’s 1989 money, but… Only five dollars? Rosalyn, you could squeeze them for double that!

      in 1989 5 bucks is worth around 13.50 today. Also babysitters were a heck of a lot more affordable then, that 5 bucks possibly 2 hours pay.

      Heck in the early 80’s I think my mom paid around 2 bucks an hour for my brother and I.

        sure, but this is Calvin we’re talking about watching.

          Oh I get that, you have to wonder how many babysitters they went thru before Rosalyn?

      IIRC, other Rosalyn arcs reveal she’s already well above market rate. $5 may have just been the marginal bump for this specific indignity.

    The tenderness mixed with the jokes and imagination always made the comic what it was.

    Oh well, I miss the drama resolution. Previous issue I saw was where Rosalyn was demanding to let her in.

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
