Calvin's parents come back, and Dad drops Rosalyn off at her house. Then Calvin comes out from the back seat and asks if Rosalyn is gone. Damn.

Rosalyn talks on the phone with her boyfriend, while Calvin and Hobbes are locked in the garage to keep them out of trouble. Damn, this girl is just two steps ahead of them.

After having so much trouble finding a babysitter for Calvin, a young woman named Rosalyn comes to babysit. And she makes Mom pay her half up front. Knowing Calvin, probably a smart move, Rosalyn.

Calvin recommends a Japanese monster movie to watch with Hobbes. Interesting choice, Calvin.

Calvin the Human Insect takes twenty minutes to turn a book's page while doing his homework, to the pleasure of his parents, who probably won't be happy later when they find out Calvin hardly got anything done, maybe.

Calvin pretends to be a human insect, walking across the dinner table and jumping onto a spoon to fling peas. In reality, he's doing it with his finger, to the chagrin of his father. Give peas a chance, Calvin!

Calvin and Hobbes go fishing, but throw the worms in the water because they don't wanna touch them. When the worms become soggy and start to sink, Calvin and Hobbes get grossed out and go out for burgers instead.

Calvin really loves the classic humor of Saturday morning cartoons. Well, specifically, the idiots, explosives, and falling anvils. Of course, Calvin.

Calvin has started getting a shit-ton of magazines in the mail. Of course, that's because he went to the library and filled out all the subscription cards that said "Bill Me Later". Okay, but ... who's gonna get billed, Calvin?

Calvin is playing golf, whacking balls with a golf club into a big-ass hole he dug. I ... hope that's not in your yard, Calvin.
