Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 02, 2018

That’s one way to break up the monotony of a summer’s day.

Remember Foster Norman in Dick Cavalli’s WINTHROP?

That your drag is overmatched by the balloon’s lift.

Spaceman Spiff’s early adventures (his inspiration to go where no man had gone before).

He gets a great view.

I also don’t know what??

It shows that cartoon helium has lots more lift than helium in real life!

up up and a way with my beautiful baloon

Where did Calvin get that balloon anyway?

This was the one left over from the ordered 100 when working on the video for ‘99 Luftballons’ (‘99 Red Balloons’).

Up before UP.

It goes to show that you don’t know when to let go of a balloon, Calvin.

You’ll float! Down here we all float. And you’ll float too, Calvin. oh, how you’ll float!!

I think Winnie The Pooh was in the same predicament once.

This couldn’t be a more perfect example of how to prepare for a Monday; can hardly wait to get to the office to see what’s going to come out of left field first. Taping this cartoon to the top of my work station for the day.

it shows that a single helium filled balloon and a child’s imagination can do wonders, like ignore physics

Hang on tight, Calvin!

The first Lyft.

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Flying is the art of throwing yourself at the ground and missing.

Why do I get the sense that something is seriously wrong in frame 1?

Inspiration for this guy:

Watterson did landscapes?

It goes to show that kids with ADHD should NOT have vivid imaginations too.

Much higher and he will need to change his name to Spiff.

He’ll have a great view of the fireworks.

wow

just wow
