Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 21, 2018

Hobbes, find a Tigress and get busy!

.

On a truly tragic note, the last male northern white rhino died in Kenya on Tuesday. Only 2 female northern white rhinos survive.

Run for your life, Hobbes! Actually both of you!

Sorry Hobbes.

Good. So Calvin has just discovered a cause to care about, something beyond himself but close to his heart nonetheless. Don’t look now, Cal, but never mind the tigers. That’s maturity creeping up on you.

Wait till he finds out how they mark their territory.

Does that mean stuffed tigers will soon be a thing of the past also?

Naw – Donnie Dimbulb’s vile, trophy-hunting spawn probably have a few of them.

That’s just in the wild, Hobbes.

You might want to stop reading Hobbes, it gets worst for tigers.

Go drown out your sorrows with some sandwiches and some soup.

Looks as though our boys have wandered off and ended up between Iraq and a hard place.

Dust in the wind

All we are is dust in the wind

Yeah, and in the wild, tigers’ life expectancy is 10 to 15 years. So, Calvin, if you’re about 6 now, you only have another 4 years left, unless you’d like to live in captivity for another decade (talk about boring).
