Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 24, 1995

Transcript:

Hobbes: The center snaps the ball to the quarterback! Calvin: No he doesn't! Hobbes: He doesn't? Calvin: No! Secretly. He's the quarterback for the other team! He keeps the ball! Hobbes: A traitor! Calvin: Calvin breaks for the goal! Wheeee! He's at the 30...the 20...the 10! Nobody can catch him! Hobbes: Nobody wants to! you're running toward your own goal! Calvin: Huh? Hobbes: When I learned you were a spy, I switched goals. This is your goal and mine's hidden! Calvin: Hidden?! Hobbes: You'll never find it in a million years! Calvin: I don't need to find it! As a traitor to your team, crossing my goal counts as crossing your goal! Hobbes: Ah, you might think so... Calvin: In fact, I know so! Hobbes: But the place I hid my goal is right on top of your goal, so the points will go to me! Calvin: But the fact is, I'm really a double agent! I'm on your team after all... Which means you'll lose points if I cross your goal! Ha ha! But I'm a traitor too, so I'm really on your team! I want you to cross my goal! The points will go to your team, which is really my team! Calvin: That would be true...If I were a football player! Hobbes: You mean..? Calvin: I'm actually a badminton player disguised as as a double-agent football player!! Hobbes: And I'm secretly a volleyball-croquet-polo player! Calvin: Sooner or later, all our games turn into Calvinball. Hobbes: No cheating!
