Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 31, 1988

you go hobbes

What’s a drag chute?

Makes sense to me. You wouldn’t want to crash or burn out your brakes.

I can do that. I just don’t want to.

Actually, Cheetahs are the fastest land animals at 70 mpg, but only for short distances.

Safety first!

I am on an island, no one to confide Eight days straight, eight hours each and not one line I can feel pressure start to possess my mind So I’ll take this beat, I should delete to exercise

No, I move slow

I want to stop time I’ll sit here ‘til I find the problem No, I move slow I want to stop time I’ll sit here ’til I find the problem

I’ve got a pet cheetah down in my basement

I’ve raised him, and bathed him, and named him Jason Statham I’ve trained him to make me these beats Now my pet cheetah’s quicker in the studio than on his feet

I’ma get mine and get going I’m showing my faces in just enough places I’m done with tip-toeing I’ll stay in my room My house is the one where the vultures are perched on the roof Get behind me I bet this nepotistic mindset Will help us get ours as we’re growing This clique means so much to this dude It could make him afraid of his music And be scared to death he could lose it

No, I move slow

I want to stop time I’ll sit here ‘til I find the problem No, I move slow I want to stop time I’ll sit here ’til I find the problem

(I’ll sit here ’til I…)

(I’ll sit here ‘til I find the problem, no) (I’ll sit here ‘til I…) (I’ll sit here ’til I find the problem)

No, I move slow I want to stop time I’ll sit here ‘til I find the problem No, I move slow I want to stop time I’ll sit here ’til I find the problem

I can feel pressure start to possess my mind

So I’ll take this beat, I should delete to exercise
