I would stand to the side, turn the knob, and when Hobbes bursts out I would step in quickly closing the door behind me.
“Mom, why are there flies in the supper?”“Because you let them all standing outside the door with it open when you got home from school.”“Cool!”
Small consolation for when Hobbes didn’t come out and waited until I peeked around the corner to see if he was in there and took my head off anyway. That sneaky tiger…
I like the part when it takes the position and gets loaded and then he finds calvin is not coming in yet, he releases it but still manages to hug him…o wow…haha…lovely…

Calvin, all you did was give Hobbes a chance to increase his energy level!!

Calvin is not amused by the notion of being educated at home. That’s what school is for.

My cat likes to dive bomb me when I get home from work :) I always think of Hobbes :) (He’s orange striped too)

Kind of an antithetical “Red and Rover”.

Cats have a good sense of smell, so even if Hobbes couldn’t hear Calvin coming, he likely would smell him…

Love that rear end in the air, tail twitching …. cat naps never interfere with the “OOMF!”

I am going to try to make a c&h sequel from mom, Mrs wormwood, Hobbes, Roslyn, and moe’s point of view.
