Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 24, 2016

Calvin, our little entrepreneur.

Looks to me like his eyes were open until he went off the end of the dock

Hitting the rough spots on the way to fun sometimes just makes the result that much more special.

This is the cover of the original “Calvin and Hobbes” collection!

It’s more fun if you can wave your hands over your head and scream all the way (tip o’hat to Madagascar).

Here in Switzerland, we have plenty of mountain sports schools opened by Calvin:Skydiving, Hanggliding, Parasailing, Skikiting, Speedclimbing, Canyoning, Iceclimbing, Rafting, Ultraclimb, Freeclimb, Cavediving, Freeriding, etc, etc.The basic tenet of all these sports: It is so deadly, you cannot be a real man unless you have had multiple near death experiences. The final proof of your manhood: Death for your beloved sport.Even better if your death involves a month-long, hundred people strong search party in an avalanche region used as a a targetting area by the mountain artillery.

or to quote Baby Sinclair… “AGAINNN!!”

Let’s try that blindfolded.

I want to try this!

Will somebody hold my beer?

It was 1944, & A friend was towing me, age 5, down a hill in a red wagon, & tried to make a right turn onto my street. I inflated our only umbrella to slow up. Wind pressure cause umbrella to fold up backward, we wiped out in gravel at corner giving me road rash on my legs & knees.I was in such pain 7 distress my mother didn’t raise a fuss about the umbrella until later.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it’s our Calvin and his furry friend Hobbes!

Next we would have to have Susie walk by and say, “You look just like Mary Poppins.” That will be the end of that.
