Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 20, 2018

Enroll the kid in a gymnastics class.

C’mon mom! He’s just trying to fly…or at least float.

Practicing for a job at the ISS? Or at least the Mir?

Panel 4, both feet off the floor, he really is floating.

Maybe Newton was wrong. At least for Calvin.

Mom makes the gravity right again!

more room outside Calvin – should be fun!

He’ll need a lot of education to be an astronaut. I wonder how many degrees Calvin that’ll be.

“He floats through the air with the greatest of ease, the daring young man on the flying trapeze.”

Calvin is a little streak of energy! He doesn’t even need candy or sweets!

This is why they can’t have nice things in the house.

I remember when I was that age, lying on my back on the sofa looking up at the ceiling and imagining walking there, having to step up to get into the room.

Parents with daughters (and no sons) think that “bouncing off the walls” is just an expression…

Kids can’t bounce off the walls outside. A lesson for today’s parents!

Ground Control to Major Calvin…

If only we could. Wouldn’t it be wonderful?

In the last panel Mom validates Newton’s Third Law.

When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.Thanks Wikipedia. :)

“Gravity is just a habit that you’re pretty sure you can’t break…”

Looks like he’s in Wonderland. Haha Lol

Doesn’t she know what will happen when she releases him outside? That kid will start to run out of air at 10,000 feet!

Gravity fails where imagination takes over!
