Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 26, 1989
Transcript:
Clavin; Well, here we are, poised at the precipice of "Pallbearer Peak" on a flimsy, unsteerable sled! The mind recoils in horror to imagine the awful descent! Yes, it's a thousand foot vertical drop onto a boulder field lined with pricker bushes! It's a journey calculated to exceed the human capacity for blinding fear! Ready to go? Hobbes: Ready!
They are ready to go—go someplace better, where they have a chance to live.
