For a tiger, he’d do wonderfully for Detroit’s baseball team… not to mention their hapless football team. Believe me, as an Orioles fan, my team has also been in the cellar too many times in the past years!
I have a long held belief that, in a lot of cases, both guys in the fight earned their az kicking. However, I also know that the more often than not, the guy that turns around and punches the guy that just stabbed him in the back is the guy that will get caught and go to jail.
It’s been established that he’s 6 and doesn’t actually know the game’s rules, but there was no point in rushing because Hobbes automatically got the point when the ball went past the fence, running the bases is ceremonial at that point.
Love this one. I picture the eighth panel having the sound of Calvin’s footsteps rapidly beating as he runs, the tenth panel having a race car driving sound effect, and the twelfth and thirteenth panels with Calvin sounding like a prop airplane diving.
The more I kept reading this one, the more I liked (and like) it. Inchy-squinchy is my favorite part! (Along with Calvin turning into fire that panel … )

Calvin, take my advice: You’re not a dog. You don’t need to be chasing balls…

The drawing is fantastic. Calvin bursting into flames in the first panel on the bottom row. Perfection.

Hobbes, this is how the hare lost the race with the tortoise.

Surprising that Calvin doesn’t need stitches, too.

Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and brand-new pair of shoes
You know I think it’s time to give this game a ride
Just to hit the ball and touch ’em all
A moment in the sun
It’s-a gone and you can tell that one goodbye

I remember doing stuff like this when I was a kid. Whether it was stickball or kickball.
