Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 25, 2020

What does it matter what team you’re on as long as you get a chance to hurt each other?

the neighbors’ yard must be way bigger than the yard of Calvin’s family

If it’s one on one, isn’t it already sudden death?

If Joe Montana’s neighbors were like Calvin’s we never would have had Joe Montana .

Sigh! I know Calvin, when even your own imagination does not cooperate with you. It’s tough being a genius, isn’t it!?!

To see the look of sheer terror on Calvin’s face in those two panels on the bottom row…OMG!

Now I want to see Calvin play sudden death in golf.

Hobbes could’ve caught the ball himself, but where’s the fun in that?

Bad choice by Hobbes with one yard to go.

Hobbes has caught the ball , Calvin is still alive!!

One of the beauties of one-man football is the lack of specialists…EVERYONE is a two-way player.

I think both Calvin and Hobbes may have obliterated any vestiges of garden behind the house.

Hobbs is very competitive.

Love Hobbes expression of total joy as he hits Calvin….

Calvin should stick to safer things, like riding his wagon off cliffs. :-)

That Hobbes must be part cheetah. He outran both Calvin and the football.

Hobbes can teach Calvin a thing or two about competitiveness.

A yard is an American unit of measure and an open expanse adjoining buildings.

What is that on the top of Calvin’s head in the last panel? Thought it was the football but the ball is in Hobbs’ paws.

The reference is to yard as a unit of measurement “a yard to go” has nothing to do with whether it’s a lawn and everything to do with distance.

And I thought football was dangerous.

Rim shot for the opening gag.

Gotta wonder what he tells his parents when he comes in from playing and is all scratched and banged up – the stuffed animal did it to me?

What’s something said by both a football coach and an adult film director? “Go long.”

Only One Yard to go….still laughing at Calvin’s explanation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The second panel throwaway joke is the best part of the strip.
