Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 02, 1991
March 01, 1991
March 03, 1991
Transcript:
Calvin: I'd just finished putting the puzzle pieces together when the dame's hired goon jumped out of nowhere and practiced for his chiropractic degree. When he was done, an all-percussion symphony was playing in my head, and the acoustics were incredible. The orchestra went on a ten-city tour of my brain, and I had a season pass with front row seats. I had figured out who trashed the dame's living room, but since she wasn't my client any more, I felt no need to divulge the information. Besides, the culprit happened to be a close buddy of mine. I closed the case. Hobbes: I guess we should've played outside, huh?

I absolutely love this dialogue! “The orchestra went on a ten city tour of my brain.” Hee!I think the Tracer Bullit strips were among the very best in the way the artwork and script came together, the almost seamless mesh between Calvin’s fantasy and real lives. Genius!

Bill Watterson didn’t do a lot of Tracer Bullet stories because they were extremely time consuming to write (and draw), and because of his lack of familiarity with Film Noir and Detective Novels.
