Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 12, 1986
Transcript:
Calvin: I'm home from school! Mom: So I gathered. Calvin: Hobbes? Hobbes: Yaaaaah! Calvin: Aaaaugh! Tiger attack! Mom: Calvin! Quit crashing around! Calvin: Hobbes jumped me, Mom! I was fighting for my very survival!! Mom: Sure, Calvin. Look, I don't want to sew Hobbes up again, so why don't you two go do something quite? Calvin: Okay, okay... You sissy. Mom always takes your side! Hobbes: That's because she wanted another tiger, not you!

This is so unbelievably hilarious. The duality yet the oneness is amazing. Please tell me that someone has done a thesis or dissertation on this incredible, one of a kind comic strip.

No, Starfollower, according to Hobbes, another tiger would be close to perfection.

I love how Calvin’s mom played along & didn’t tell him that Hobbes was just a stuffed toy & couldn’t attack him. :)
