Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 12, 2018

Soup and sandwiches? Maybe Hobbes is teaching Calvin how to act like tiger in a nursing home.

Funny, aren’t tigers bad climbers in real life due to their size?

Climbing a tree and enjoying the view can make you hungry.

Of course, everything tigers know are instincts that can’t be taught!

It’s disappointing when you discover that your heroes are not who you thought they were.

You know what Hobbes is, Calvin? Hobbes is a plushie, that’s what he is!

En-cy-clo-what?

Being a tiger is not just glitter, gold, and glam, Calvin—-and neither is anything else!

Tigers are very practical. Eat what’s available until something better comes along.

tigers are hunters in long grass, explains the stripes, in Hobbes case he’s a long sandwich hunter.

Stalking the elusive Campbell’s soup can.

Hang on a minute Calvin, who taught you how to climb a tree?

Look it up in the encyclopedia? Wow, does that date the strip.

Ah, the days when you actually had to look something up in a book.

Hobbes has demonstrated how patience pays off in hunting.

I know I keep repeating myself, but I love the imagination of Calvin and his stuffed tiger Hobbes. And if I was Calvin’s mom, I’d fix some tuna sandwiches and take it out to him and Hobbes. And chuckle all the way back to the house.

We watch as 2 Tigers stalk a pack of Soup and sandwiches at the watering hole…
