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.

The meaning is clear, but I never heard "it's curtains" irl. It seems it was popular in gangster movies mid 20th century and apparently (still?) well understood in the eighties, but are people in the US still saying that?

Haven't heard that expression in a while, myself.

Man, BW is really ramping up the tension on this storyline, with every strip that passes without Calvin's parents finding out!

If only they had this kind of sense of urgency when the school bus is due
