Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 22, 2018

Have either Calvin or Hobbes been nibbling on the wings?

At least the engines work

L.E. would have had a great time with this one.

C&H are all just re-runs anyway. I’ll support BW by buying the books rather than gocomics

Everything was better back then, you just needed to know how to build it. Even cars in those times could crash into a wall and break it. Now if you drive into a wall, it’s the other way around.

I love the opening two panels in this one. A little joke all to themselves, and our premise.

Bummer! Didn’t even see any enemy fighters.

Sometimes in my dreams everything is wrong and doesn’t work!!

I had a few of those hopeless mess models in my youth, and I still displayed them with pride.

Accurate drawing of an F4 in a comic strip. Who else but Watterson. The artist was awesome.

Always build two – one with wheels up, one with wheels down.

I’m surprised the radio even works.

Did he crash in Tampa Bay?

A voice “cackles” over the radio? Not “crackles?” Okay, I’ll go with cackles. ;)

So beautifully drawn. Thanks for the memories (since I remember reading it the first time :)

I remember that well.

Nice F-4.

“Enemy Fighters at Two O Clock.” “Roger, What should I do until then?” Duuumb ways to diiie
