Hobbes lives for this and the welcoming home from school in similar fashion.

Hobbes, you are the best!

Oh Hobbes, you are just so sneaky.
Comic-Nut said, 2 months ago

Forgot to mention … wait till Calvin is 12 and he decides to experiment on his toys like all us boys. I remember stuffing firecrackers in an old stuffed toy and GI Joe. Hobbes … run while you can.

There are definite indicators that this attack was premeditated, and an invasion of privacy to boot.
In the panel with the frame, Calvin is obviously startled, with the realization of impending doom, but his reaction time to the immediate, devastating attack by Hobbes is deficient…hasn’t this happened before?
Hobbes, why do you disturb Calvin when he is playing quietly and peacefully? Oh, that’s WHY!
Calvin is CRUSHED…in more ways than one.
“We (not us) tigers just LIVE for that!” That’s good grammar, Hobbes! You’re not ALL bad in this cartoon.
“Not for long, you won’t!” That’s a rash threat by Calvin, spoken out of frustration. Calvin’s really a Paper Tiger.
Besides, what would he (or we) do without Hobbes?

The dark shadows in the third to last panel should have told Calvin that something was up. He just didn’t think fast enough.

I love the foreshadowing of the incoming tiger! Hobbes is letting loose his inner Tigger!

Calvin & Hobbes at their best :)))
Johanan Rakkav said, 2 months ago

Since when do tigers bellyflop on their prey? :))
Puddleglum2 said, 2 months ago

When Calvin becomes Hobbes’ ‘prey’, HE needs to ‘pray’!
Pray tell, what will Calvin do now?
What happened to the quicksand? And where is Susie when you need her?
Superfrog could have intervened with his suction-cup fingers to catch Hobbes, or at least deter or hinder him.

The tiger bellyflop is a well studied attack phenomenon of comic strip tigers the world over.

Without Hobbes (and Calvin of course) our lives would be empty.

Some live for the peaceful moment.
Some live for the interruption.
Puddleglum2 said, 2 months ago

Leonardeuler,
Without Calvin and Hobbes, our “cartoon” lives would be (somewhat) empty, I suppose that’s what you meant.
I’m sure we both have lives worth living in many other areas of endeavor.

Go Hobbes! Go baby go!
JanCinVV said, 2 months ago

Puddleglum2 ou’re right about the grammar. Watterson was one of the few who cared about proper English and grammar.
Crooky said, 2 months ago

Love Hobbes’ look of absolute glee! One of the moments in life to treasure…
Giselda said, 2 months ago

I love you, too. I’ve been reading since I was a child.

Dino-1 said, 2 months ago

Great!!! I had a Malamute that would do the same thing. He’d play in the woods all day and when I’d come home he’d come running and pounce on me. I usually saw him coming but where we live there’s woods all around our property so sometimes he’d come up behind me and nail me like Hobbes. He’d jump on top of me to wake me up in the morning and knock the wind of me. He was taller than I was when he stood on his hind legs, paws like a bear, and fur like a sheepdog. I could go on about his personality all day but let’s just say he was a blast!

Whats Hobbes up to The Flying Tigers stopped flying July 14 , 1942 . That landing , good luck on the solo test fuzzy buddy . Pass-it first time , “Oh Yeah”.
bandz said, 2 months ago

The BC comic strip today was funnier. Wiley, tthe one-legged caveman - who must be Irish - is asked if he has any vices. He says, No, none at all. Does he have any hobbies? Yes! Gambling and drinking.” Hobbes also has no vices and only a single hobby: pouncing.
bandz said, 2 months ago

CogentModality’s comment is great. I’ll add it to my favorite quotations collection along with:

“Help stamp out, eradicate and destroy superfluous redundancy.” – or

“How can you say that I’m redundant? That I repeat myself? That I say the same thing over and over?” - or

“Don’t use an amplitudinous word when a diminutive one will suffice.”

Maybe the attack was a territorial thing.

Concordance with the sentiments expressed is escalating.
