Hobbes: You only packed two sandwiches for out entire trip to the Yukon? Calvin: Relax, Hobbes, these sandwiches will give us energy to spare. Hobbes: Mmff, whath thith? Honey "n" marthmallowth? Calvin: That one is. The other was chocolate syrup. As long as we're taking a break, we might as well record our progress in the log. "Journey to the Yukon: Day one. Have traveled twenty minutes. No snow so far. Hobbes: "Food Supplies low." Calvin: "Nevertheless, morale is high as we push north." Hobbes: My morale would be a lot higher if you'd carry the toboggan. Calvin: Me?! I'm the leader of this expedition! I'm forging the path! Hobbes: I think it's my turn to be leader now. Calvin: You can't be the leader! See, I've got the commander hat. Hobbes: That can be easily remedied. Calvin: Hey! Leggo! This is my helmet! Hobbes: Ow! Quit biting! Calvin: This is mutiny! Give that back! Hobbes: I'm the captain now. I give the commands. First, I decree double rations for all officers to aid their decision-making capabilities. Calvin: Oh no you don't!....That last sandwich is mine!

“I’m the captain now” This is much better than that Tom Hanks movie.

I’d expect marshmallow to work better in the chocolate sandwich, but i admire the willingness to try strange new things.

My tiger friend has got the sled,And I have packed the snack.We’re all set for the trip ahead.We’re never coming back!
We’re abandoning this life we’ve led!So long, Mom and Pop!We’re sick of doing what you said,And now it’s going to stop!
We’re going where it snows all year,Where life can have a real meaning,A place where we won’t have to hear,“Your room could stand some cleaning”
The Yukon is the place for us!That’s where we want to live.Up there we’ll get to yell and cuss,And act real primitive.
We’ll never have to go to school,Forced into submission,By monstrous crabby teachers who’llMake us learn addition.
We’ll never have to clean a plateOf veggie glops and goos.Messily we’ll masticateUsing any fork we choose!
The timber wolves will be our friends.We’ll stay up late and howl,At the moon, till nighttime ends,Before going on the prowl.
Oh, what a life! We cannot wait,To be in that arctic land,Where we’ll be masters of our fate,And lead a life that’s grand!No more of parental rules!We’re heading for some snow!Good riddance to those grown-up ghouls!We’re leaving! Yukon Ho!

Hobbes should be grateful that he’s Calvin’s tiger. Linus would only bring honey on sugar cubes!
