Even though Calvin’s hair is so stiff that it normally stands straight up, he is able to run so fast that it blows backwards.Here is the cover of the new Calvin and Hobbes book, which is also on the right side of this GoComics page. Hobbes still has the flag.Click here: Calvin and Hobbes Book

Ahhhh: back in the day when parents wouldn’t get arrested for letting their kids play outside alone. And communication was standing on the top porch step and screaming the children’s names that it was time for supper.
I spend an awful lot of my time on pointless stuff and it doesn’t feel like weekend. On hold with vendors/providers, upgrading software that didn’t seem to be broken, cleaning a house that’s just going to be dirty again tomorrow…
In these days when so many comic strip artists are just cut-and-pasting, you have to admire the effort put into this one. Probably as tiring as Calvin’s running around, too!
Calvin’s day just reminded me when I was six. And my neighbor (also aged six) and I tied his brother to a tree and then ran off to chase rabbits. It was a fun day. Even if we failed to catch any rabbits. I think I need another day or more like that or Calvin’s day.

That didn’t look pointless; it appeared to be challenging and fun.

In effect, Calvin had a ‘whale’ of a time for no ‘porpoise’. What’s the point?

It’s called sports. A lot of effort for no worthy purpose. And it pays GREAT.
