“A paper tiger is someone who at first glance seems to be in charge but who, on closer examination, is completely powerless. A paper tiger gives the impression of being powerful — perhaps he is a king or a high school principal — but lacks any real power.”

Very clever, Calvin. Now—what will Hobbes think of as a counter-ruse.

At least, when Hobbes pounces on Calvin, it’s with affection—unlike the punches of that accursed bully Moe!

That was a dirty trick, Calvin. Hobbes will make you pay for that.

Cal wins this one. But he is limited in the ‘new tricks’ department.

Been visiting Turkey and Greece, and the cats are all over the place. People just feed them. On the plus side, there are no mice or rats.

The first time Calvin tried that with a broom and his jacket, Hobbes didn’t fall for it, but this time he DID fall for the decoy!

Atleast Hobbes had a nice comfy impact in his face against the soft leaves in the lunch bag.

I liked metal lunch boxes with thermoses better, the bottom didn’t rip if something leaked.
