Well, obviously Moe didn’t watch the same program. Sort of like the old saying about bumblebees. According to the laws of physics, it’s impossible for a bumblebee to fly, but they do anyways because bumblebees don’t know anything about physics.
Calvin should never overlook the obvious. In this case the obvious is that fact that Sparrow Hawks knock Sparrows, like Calvin, right out of the air. As a matter of fact, some of them do it simply because they can. Learn to fly away and hide, Calvin.
I personally like Calvin’s approach. However, I think Calvin needs to not be so masochistic in chiding Moe.
Sabotage the swing Calvin, and sit there as bait for Moe.
The bullies from our class either went into the service or into jail. The update from the last class reunion is that a couple have become, “career criminals”. The ones that came back from the service look like they were, “Rode hard and put away wet!”
Hugh B. Hayve:
I enjoyed this animation too. It reminded me of my little dog. He’d eye his tail like that and grab it and spin in a circle. He’d finally end up snarling at it and chewing voraciously until you’d hear a yelp that he’d hurt himself. It was always entertaining to watch but I worried he had brain damage sometimes!
Just get the tiger, who will take care of it. Omigosh. Just do it, leave the bully-overpowerment to Hobbes and fly away like an ACTUAL sparrow would do. Although don’t even try it with hummingbirds- a few of them can drive off a full-grown Bald Eagle. Just a little something.
I don’t need the Genius button, I’m too smart for my own good. Ow.
I know what you mean Dino-1, I see the kittens at the barn doing the same thing all the time. I think they do it to hone their hunting skills….or maybe they are mental or something.

Calvin, you birdbrain! The key word is maneuverability. Sparrows don’t just sit on their perches waiting for the crows to knock them off.

New lesson learned well, Calvin….. Aerodynamics don’t count for diddley squat when it comes to calling the school yard bully “stupid”.

What Calvin forgot to realize is… smaller size & greater maneuverability only come into play if the “sparrow” is MOVING.

Several of you thought of the same thing before I did: no sparrow outmaneuvers a crow by just sitting there on the branch and taunting it! :))
BW was of the opinion that Moes bred on locker room floors.

Calvin should pull out his transmogrifier and turn the bully into something more pleasant. I suppose it would be safe to say it wont happen tho.
