Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 30, 2016

I thought the whole point of electroshock therapy was to forget things.

A cousin thought it was okay to “go get her batteries recharged” every decade. Her brother didn’t enjoy it as much & kept escaping.

I still remember learning to ride sixty years ago. My mom’s bike. The handle bars were over my head like a chopped motorcycle. I could barely keep both feet on the pedals, my legs were that short. I still have the scar where my tooth went through my lower lip..I feel for you Calvin

Different volts for different folks.

Where did you find a lake with a slope?

Calvin’s legs don’t reach the pedals. He needs a tricycle.

I recall that I deliberately launched myself off the bike many times at that age, because I could never remember how the brakes worked.

I didn’t think electroshock therapy was the current thing.

This reminds me of my first year or so of mountain biking. My shins have no hair left and are covered with scars I call them my tuition receipts from mountain biking college.In my later years I had two or three spectacular crashes which I actually wish had been captured on video. Then I could impress my kids.“Look boys. It’s me, Super Dad. I can fly!”

Electroshock therapy is something you seriously need, Calvin.

No helmet no shin pads; not even a helicopter parent. But he’ll take a helicopter tiger anyday. This must be in the 1986 or something.

This is a rare, unfunny C&H.

I bet it does now Calvin!

Bicycles are still in use; electroshock therapy, not so much…

Enjoy your ride LE, I’m sure enjoying mine…

I don’t get the joke either. What does Calvin mean when he says “It works on the same principle as electroshock therapy.”?
