Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 07, 2018

…and no parachute.

This is why a million balloons would be a better choice instead of just one.

Also, instead of lifting just yourself, you can lift your house, that way you can go to Paradise Falls.

You and your big mouth, Calvin! As usual of course.

Truer words were never spoken.

At least Calvin’s science is up to scratch!

Where is Hobbes when you need him? With Suzy of course.

Here’s where he falls out of bed and wakes up.

The Enterprise at the top right of cloud? Don’t be silly. It’s the cigar being smoked by Jabba the Hut.

Am I the only one who doesn’t understand last panel?

Calvin, at the very least and last, has a good grip on physics.

Now I’m free

Free fallin’

Yeah, I’m free

Free fallin’

He wakes up and it’s all a dream?

I think I remember how the arc ends (no, I ain’t a-tellin’!) and I remember how the strip ends – but I’m just twisted enough to think that, great as the last strip was, this would have been a great – and more memorable – one.

Is Steve Canyon the only daily comic to end with the title character’s death?

Absolutely love Calvin’s terrified expression in the third panel!

Because: SCIENCE!

Better find an empty field to glide into.

This reminds me of my favorite moment from the movie, “The Right Stuff,” when Yeager pilots the NF-104 into the upper stratosphere and gets a peek at outer space.

The actual last strip of the series. Well, it was a good run.

Oh je, the end of Calvin, when not a big bird or a plane will rescue him!!

Now that his balloon has popped, I can picture Calvin running into the house shouting, “Mom! Dad! Hobbes! Guess what, I’m dead!!!”

Calvin actually finds an interesting way out of this one.

OK, so I don’t understand the the last panel. It just looks like a night sky and clouds. What does that have to do with Calvin’s balloon popping?

I read somewhere that falling doesn’t kill. It’s the sudden stop at the end that does you in. Lol

Somebody is going to wake up in bed….lol

On two occasions, I was flying a small airplane and had a balloon suddenly pop up in my windshield and scared the **** out of me.

Given Calvin’s tenuous grip on reality, we’ll see him standing on a park bench holding a burst balloon

Miss Wormwood would be impressed with his science knowledge.

And now….Calvin go boom!

SPLAT!

OOPS

Pop goes the weasel

Calvin fought the Ideal Gas Law, and the Law won.

Yesterday i posited that a large bird would attack the balloon. Evidently not…

when an inanimate object takes the words out of your mouth.

The Magic Bullet has festered, Bill.

Little kids are never too young to learn physics…
