You’re correct about the quote, but the point here was that Calvin didn’t want anyone else having fun. I was aiming for irony about Calvin’s selfish attitude.
When someone who wears clothes takes them off to go swimming, that’s called skinny dipping. So what do you call it when a nudist (tiger) puts on clothes just to go swimming??
Hobbes your jams contrast poorly with your stripes.
Whomever decided one has to wear something when going swimming must have been a sadist. Getting out of the water in a cold wet swimsuit is miserable. Skinny dipping is the only way to go.
Sandfan… Sorry I didn’t get much sleep… went right over my head haha
Cleokaya… I’m with you! (on the swimsuit contrasting poorly with his stripes) I just didn’t have the heart to say anything because everyone else said they were cute… haha
Calvin thought of the sprinkler but Hobbes being all for it gave Calvin second thoughts.
I just love the way Calvin all ways watches what Hobbes is doing.
The swim trunks may clash a little bit with the tiger stripes but that just makes them all the cuter in this instance because they’re on my favorite “cat” in the whole world … and that’s Hobbes!
Hey! How come he hates taking a bath, but loves to play in the pool…. ???? It is just a container with water anyway… right?
Ah, kids, try to understand them….

Place the pool under the sprinkler is a good idea, fun for both!
What beautiful bathing trunks, Hobbes!

Forget the pool and the sprinkler, there is snow on the ground here.

Where I live it’s cold too and snow in the mountains!

Tigers love water. And Hobbes loves winding Calvin up.

No wonder Hobbes didn’t put up a fight for the pool. Sprinklers are more fun.

The point is, no fun without me. Period!

Hey!! I thought Calvin didn’t like taking baths!

Fun shared is fun halved.

Invite Susi!! That mustn’t be thought!

The bathing trunks are so cute… And it’s interesting, that Hobbes doesn’t wear any clothes, but for bathing he puts on bathing trunks!

Cleokaya, I couldn’t agree with you more. Same with going to bed, Why do people think they have to get dressed to go to sleep?

Yukoner and LX013, the forecast for today in Los Angeles is 103 F, and that’s downtown. The valleys are even hotter!
A sprinkler by the wading pool, I like that idea. Ahhh….

camo pants on a striped tiger. Hobbes’ ascerbic mind may be on the ball in most instances, but his fashion sense, hmmmmm…..

Wouldn’t it be interesting to “hear” Hobbes in thought-bubbles…”neh neh neh neh neh…phtlllkkkkk” Then again, maybe not!

It’s incredible how selfish we people can be at times! Imagine that you can’t have fun when someone else is having fun! That is so bent!

Why does Hobbes need swimshorts in the pool when he doesn’t wear pants any other times?

I just got back from a swim in our lake. It is 66 degrees and the lake is 65. Bdaysuit, I kind of thought that you might agree with me. :-)
