Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 07, 2023

Nobody wants to follow in Calvin’s footsteps.

How many one-legged kids are in Calvin’s neighborhood?

Know any one-legged people who don’t use a crutch (like Long John Silver), two crutches (like Joshua Sundquist), or a prosthetic (like Edward Elric)

The trick will backfire. Other kids will go the opposite direction just to avoid Calvin, but then they’ll run into him.

That’s a good plan… until you fall face first on the floor and they see whose face was the owner of the strange footprints.

Maybe a one-eyed Jack Nicholson?

Deceptive Footprints is the name of my son’s new Emo band. They’re opening for Art is Anal Cheese at the 9:30 Club.

How long before Calvin falls over backwards into a ravine?

I used to make tyrannosourus footprints.

When you’re a guy like Calvin, someone’s always on your trail or soon will be.

Who exactly is on your trail? Boredom…

Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.

Okay, Calvin! What did you do this time?

Who’s on his trail? Susie if he just pasted her one with a snowball.

We did this kind of thing all the time. Our imaginations were running wild.

If you don’t leave tracks, you’re harder to hunt. Elves & fairies figured that out. Bigfoot’s a troll, not quite as bright, comparatively a little clumsy, leaves an occasional footprint or a few hairs. We’re not who they’re hiding from, we’re the drunken hillbilly who gets probed by aliens.

With Calvin, it could be creatures from the planet ‘Zorg’ ! ! !

He may be paranoid, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t out to get him.

Old Daniel Boone trick.

Calvin now lives in an underground school bus he converted into a survival bunker. He has years of freeze dried food, water, and, most importantly, lots of guns an ammunition.

You know what they say: Just because you are paranoid dos not mean they are NOT out to get you.

Calvin is paranoid now….

Doubt that Moe wants to think that much.

So, is he moving closer to whoever or whatever might be looking for him?

looking at cat’s tracks in the snow is cool. Back footprints always on top of the front.

Paranoid much?

Get a tennis racket and everyone will think its Bigfoot

Calvin could be right. After all, just because you’re paranoid doesn’t necessarily mean they’re NOT out to get you!

He’s a fugitive! It was not him who threw the snowball, it was that one-legged kid down the street………………Oh, no, wait…..in this case it was Calvin.

Better safe than sorry.

Some people waste more time trying to figure out how to get away with things when they really need to learn how to work together, get along.

Is no one going to mention the agility and stamina required to do this? This kid is amazing.

This isn’t being careful the kid is acting paranoic.

His mother must be looking for him.
