Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 12, 1986
Transcript:
Calvin: Where there dinosaurs when you were a kid, Dad? Dad: Oh sure! Your grandfather and I used to put on our leopard skins and hunt Brontosaurus for all the clan rituals. Mom: Listen Buster, I think Calvin's grade are bad enough already, don't you? Calvin: The horrifying Tyrannosauru's lumbers across the prehistoric valley. The mighty dinosaur is a walking death machine! Only one other creature dares to challenge the terrible Tyrannosaurus! The savage saber-toothed tiger! Hobbes: Gg mmf yow gzzz mkn gbzz yow. Calvin: Wake up! The meek Tyrannosaurus, victim of an innocent misunderstanding tears like heck across the prehistoric valley...
I love how anti-climactic the imagination sequence has the T-Rex! He’s just like “I reign supreme over this pitiful landscape! Nobody would dare oppose me!” and then when the sabertooth starts chasing him he’s like “F**K THIS S**T I’M GETTIN’ THE HELL OUTTA HERE!!!!!!” and breaks into a cartoon-style sprint.
