Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 09, 1989

Transcript:

Calvin: I can't believe this. Every day I get all my hopes up, thinking my beanie will come..and then it doesn't. And for each day that goes by, I figure then odds are better that it will come the next day, so my hopes get higher and higher before they fall. It's awful. But I've been disappointed so often, now, I'm finally getting numb to it. Hobbes: Maybe the mailman made a second trip today and delivered it in the last five minutes. Calvin: Wow! I never thought of that! C'mon! Hobbes: He's not numb.
