Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 17, 2020

A tuna sandwich is a small price to pay to rid one of a nemesis.

Has Hobbes dealt with killer bikes in the past?

Anything for tuna.

Well DUH!

First, though, you have to be close enough to jam the stick. This is not unlike the truth that if you can put a bit of salt on a bird’s tail you can catch it. But with more violence (on the part of the bicycle).

I’m a kid and I just learnd about calvin and hobbes in 2019 and now I’m a big fan!

There’s a simple solution to everything, I guess.

Gotta be worth a tuna sandwich

I don’t think this will end well for Calvin.

A friend in need is a friend indeed!

If you’re wondering enough how you possibly can thank me.

That bike eats sticks for breakfast. Don’t try it!

I remember my first 2 wheeler bikeIgot for christmas, everything was fine,Ijust kept ignoring it until finally decided I was going to learn how to ride it come hell or high water!!!

It was about time Hobbes “spoke” up!

“We could mosey over to…” Hobbes sounds like an old timer in a 1940’s movie.

A fitting reward for a hero. Snacks!

Hobbes should also mention that Calvin should not be riding the bicycle when he inserts the stick.

Hey, with Calvin, you have to include details like that.

It works best if you’re riding the bike downhill when you shove in the big stick. Try it that way, Calvin.

Well spoke-n, Hobbes.

Who’s smarter? :Calvin or Hobbes

Oh please show him explaining that to his parents tomorrow!

Hobbes really is the best imaginary friend a somewhat mentally deranged six-year-old can have.

Why don’t we go on over to the kitchen instead of mosey on over? Yeesh, sounds like some sort of really old one-shot rifle or… I’ll stop talking.

heek heek haw

I did something like that once. I snatched a kids jacket from him and it stuck in the spokes. Did I mention that I was riding my bike past him at a high rate of speed when this happened? I was on the receiving end of instant Karma. Nothing worse than pavement rash and a few bruises, fortunately.

There’s a little feeling perched in the back of my mind, that makes me think Calvin will try it, first, to be sure it works.

Offense is the best defense.
