Hey Calvin. You did everything right. “Excuse me”, “Pardon me”, and shouted a warning AND balloons have right of way over powered flyers.
That’s airmanship!
This is my favorite Calvin of all time, I have the last panel of one of the next couple days (cut out of the paper when it came out) on my bedroom wall, as a reminder about life and it’s possibilities.
You are right, but with Calvin’s imagination, he may just be trying to get out of a bath as we might often see spaceman spiff fighting off a space creature only to find he’s at the supper table or something.
BC13 my thought, exactly. i’ve read books of collected strips (this one, and others) and find i prefer to read them 1 day at a time, for some reason. it does seem more fun that way.

I think I remember the one you’re talking about. I have it too, cut out from the newspaper. I thought it was the best description of life’s possibilities too, and it still applies today.
I think CH and DT outside of Bigtop, which I haven’t had the time to read, the most comments. My opionion only. I just like some of the commics and comments could actually rewrite the comics strips. Make more interesting in some cases, funny, or terrifing. All I know I have fun with this.

Be very glad that all they gave you was looks…

Thank God, they did not puncture the baloon. That would have done it too !

Duck, Calvin!
The ducks are in disarray; Why didn’t they veer away?
Quack goes the duck = Honk goes the goose Beep Beep! goes Calvin

I know the look well. I’ve gotten the evil eye from ducks many times.

Pretty good air current.
Leonardeuler about 15 years ago
Yes, Carpetinwater9, Calvin seems pretty oscillating in that air current.
rentier about 15 years ago
To Leonardeuler: Yes, it seems so, around the world in 80 days!

You mean this story arc could take 80 days?

While soaring to fantastic height Our hero interferes with flight But this awesome skill May get him killed With Hobbes nowhere in sight.

I do not remember this at all but I think this will wind up on Saturday It’s probably just a dream.

Only Calvin could bring pandemonium to such a high level.

As I said, I don’t remember this, but I do have the authoritative C&H and I’m sure it’s in there. But I don’t want to spoil the fun by looking it up.

Did Calvin fly with that balloon make it to go around the world in 80 days?
coffeeturtle about 15 years ago
I just flew in and my arms are killing me. So are the callouses on my hands. ;-)

Suprisingly, none of the ducks thought the same thing!
unemandarine about 15 years ago
Yeah if looks could kill… Been there, and it’s not a nice feeling, but hang on Calvin, I know you’ll make it.
ratlum about 15 years ago
On that last frame my hero is getting used to this flying thing so why fret when Calvin and I enjoy our self,s
josh_bisbee about 15 years ago
He’s lucky ducks don’t have pointy beaks.
Crumbucket about 15 years ago
Every duck I’ve ever met–always the same look.
Stede_Bonnet about 15 years ago
Ducks fly in formation because it’s less difficult than following an individual course. Kudos to Calvin for his non-conformity!!!
bandz about 15 years ago
Good thing he flew THROUGH the ducks rather than UNDER them! That prevented them from getting the drop on him.
lincolnhyde about 15 years ago
Hmm - since Calvin is riding with the wind, and the ducks are flying, shouldn’t he be meeting them rather than passing them?
Kerovan about 15 years ago
It won’t take 80 days, but I barely remember this so IDK how long it will take.
