Perhaps that is what the tiger at the zoo misses now that I’m on to him. Once while walking past wearing a furry hat with dangling balls on string out of my peripheral I noticed movement. Turing to look the tiger was rushing right at me stopping at the fence, I just said “Oh, Hi” quietly we stared for a few seconds then I got back to work. Later that day passing by again I saw him stalking slowly towards the fence and when I looked directly he froze. He hasn’t bothered when I wear the hat since, I think since the surprise is gone he’s not having fun anymore.

When it comes to snowball fights, the one at the top is feared the most.

As if Susie — if you ask me — would drop a snowball followed by a bucket full thereof on Calvin from a tree.

Oof. I hope any of those balls weren’t yellow. How did he fit them all?

Shoulda just dropped the loaded bucket.

For some reason this reminds me of Captain Kangaroo, when Mr. Moose used to drop ping pong balls on the Captain.

Learn to carry a tiny umbrella, Calvin… like Wyle E. Coyote.

I agree Hobbes, it is so much fun when someone realizes that the rules of the nasty game they were playing have changed.

Hobbes keeps Calvin grounded. Love his philosophical approach to life, too.
