I live in Florida…..it’s been on the news in the last several days of Nile Crocodiles being found in the Everglades. Much bigger and more aggressive than our cute little Florida alligators. How did they get here? They didn’t swim from Africa. So maybe Calvin’s imagination has merit!
Who sez there aren’t hippos in South America? http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-27905743Our species has a singular talent for making a mess of things.
Calvin obviously read a lot of old “Peanuts” strips with Snoopy being lions, snakes, rhinos, vultures, and so forth. (No, no, Snoopy wasn’t “pretending”, he was “being”!!!!!)
@Night-Gaunt49Of course it matters the medium! Otherwise people wouldn’t be able to enjoy “The Flintstones.” (Except for the crazy people who think it’s a documentary………)
Later on in the strip, Calvin has to take swimming lessons from Rosalyn and Calvin was afraid. So I assume the hippo got the best of the crocodile and this is why Calvin had to take swimming lessons later on.

No hippos, either, for that matter. But it doesn’t—matter, that is. This is just for fun.

Doesn’t Calvin knows that hippos are usually much stronger than crocodiles?

Don’t mess with a hippo; most dangerous animal in their habitat.

Grammatically, isn’t it the hippo killing the croc in the third panel?

Maybe the Nile crocs in the Everglades can eat all the exotic constrictor snakes.

I read were some imported hippos were released into the Amazon now it’s whether they can multiply or become piranha food!

I never learned to swim. I was constantly being reminded of “What if you fall in a river or lake?”
Geez. All I have to do is steer clear of them.
