Recap / Calvin And Hobbes Rosalyn Sends Calvin To Bed Early

Go To

The first Rosalyn babysitting storyline to run for more than just a few strips. Rosalyn puts Calvin to bed minutes after arriving to preemptively prevent any misbehaving, and spends the rest of the evening dealing with his screaming tantrums.

Tropes

  • Babysitter from Hell: Calvin certainly sees Rosalyn this way. Calvin brings some of the bad treatment on himself with his behavior, as he was only sent to bed early because he fired his dart gun at her. Rosalyn is certainly strict and mean, and willing to utilize threats to force Calvin to behave. This time, she threatens to send him to the basement if he makes good on his threat to start a ruckus.
  • HA HA HA—No: Implied to be the reaction from one of Calvin's past babysitters.
    Mom: You remember Amy? She just laughed when I called her.
  • Noodle Incident: It's anyone's guess as to how Amy's night with Calvin went.
