When I was a kid, my older brother invented a game called “Grass Burn.” It was played with a soccer ball in our back yard, and its sole purpose was to allow him to slide tackle and otherwise beat the daylights out of me. Now that I’m bigger than he is he doesn’t want to play with me anymore.
Sometimes Bill Waterson drew Hobbes with such an adorable face that I just want to reach into the frame and grab Hobbes and make him MY own special friend. I do so envy Calvin’s energy and his tiger.

“It’s not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game.”Winning is gravy, so to speak.

Tackle? That was a genuine out of the jungle big time pounce. Hobbes knockedthe little squirt right out of his shoes.

I always thought they should change the name of that sport to TACKLE BALL.

Calvin appears to be unclear on the concept of a predator.

Very appropriate timing: Go SEC; since OSU is relegated to the “shoulda, woulda, coulda” league since their self-inflicted wound. No roses for them.

Just a friendly game of cat and mouse. Cat always has the most fun.

Hobbes loves the violence of football, not the point of it.
