Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 10, 1988
Transcript:
Cavlin: Ok, lets test this transmogrifier gun. I want to be a pterodactyl, so you think of one and point the transmogrifier at me. This will be great. I'll terrorize the neighborhood awhile and then you can transmogrity me back to a boy when the national guard comes. Hobbes: What's a pterodactyl? Some kind of bug? Calvin: No no! It's a big flying dinosaur! Don't shoot if you don't know what it is!!
Pterodactyl, bats, bugs—all are kind of the same when you don’t know that much about them.
.
Still, I’m surprised that Hobbes doesn’t really know what Pterodactyls are—I’m sure Calvin has told him in great detail.
