Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 01, 2016

Calvin, maybe you’re trying to ride the wrong bike; that could be Moe’s bike.

Well now, for one thing, the kid’s legs need to be quite a bit longer, or the bike a lot smaller. I first learned to ride on a miniature bike.

That thing’s alive Calvin! Quick, call an… I mean, put it on a leash!

For everything there is a logical explanation. In this scenario was there a stiff breeze from the opposite direction? If not, start praying.

This is Calvin we’re talking about, and as usual, we see it from his viewpoint. Had we seen it from someone else’s, it would look different.

Is anyone else reminded of Charlie Brown, the kite, and the tree…?

Calvin’s bike is possessed.

If you think bikes are possessed try being a cyclist and seeing how people drive around them.

I have an expensive mountain bike that has no kickstand nor a place for one. But it was free, left behind by a long-gone tenant.

We had a junky one-speed, coaster brake, 16" tired bicycle that five of the six kids in my family learned to ride on. I think it weighed 25 lbs and was built like a tank. Once we knew how to ride, we got our own bikes.

“Who you gonna call?” " Bike Busters " !

Never let the bike see you’re afraid of it. Bikes can smell fear.

Billy did have a possessed tricycle ‘In the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy." (What he gets for reading grimoirs from Grimm’s trunk of horrors.

The eternal battle of predator and prey……

Wondering if the bike is a spawn of Christine? Ya know, like that car in the movie Christine a ’58 Plymouth?

Considering the spectacular wrecks they’ve had in the wagon, a bicycle shouldn’t be a problem at all…

Time to run crying to Mum.

I don’t think his legs are long enough to reach the pedals. He should stick with a trike.
