Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 22, 2024

Finally! He’s learning!

Aww! It was just getting good. Then Calvin walked away.

THIS is how you use the simplicity of the medium.

Aw, what’s the worst that could happen?

That’s an exellent motto. Right up there with “Never annoy a novelist” and “Don’t diss anyone who has access to your food.”

Trifle not with UN-tired tigers, too.

Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus (because I don’t know Latin for tiger)

Words to live by lol

He remembered what happened 2 days ago.

Especially not tired tigers who are taller than you!

And don’t pet your pet Gila monster if you live in Colorado.

Or Cats!!

Sound advice!

A mistake you don’t make twice….

Tired from what, going through the spin cycle of the washer?

If you want to pull the tail of the tiger, you better have a plan for dealing with the teeth

Let sleeping tigers lie.

Good advice!

A proverb from The Great Panda…

Never Tickle a Sleeping Tiger.

Cal has moments of caution but they don’t last.

They have awesome murder mittens.

To be truthful, tired tigers are a tad too timid.

I read a news article about a man who was killed by a tiger after trying to get a selfie with it. I’m not making this one up!

He didn’t figure that out two days ago?

Tyger Tyger, burning bright,

In the forests of the night;

What immortal hand or eye,

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

Dally not with troublesome trochees.

“Twitching tufted tail,

a toasty, tawny tummy:

a tired tiger."

Even domestic cats produce an impressive display of claws when stretching. Our nails have evolved to help us open our food. Theirs evolved for the same reason.

He needs a few most words starting with “T” to complete that tongue twister

Or sleeping cats.

May a tired tiger trifle and toy with your toes.

Like I said the other day… Calvin needs to let sleeping Tigers lie….

But it is written if the evil spirit arms the tiger with claws, Brahman provided wings for the dove.

“Trifle not with tired tigers”, for you are crunchy, and good with ketchup. :-)

Adapted from another source. I can’t remember where it’s from.

Yep, reminds me of the cat my family had for much of my teenage years and early adulthood, the way he’d yawn and stretch his claws out the same way.

Alliteration!

Tried were never said.
