    Read the first three frames with the current political climate in mind and it still makes sense. Maybe it’s the mattress tag police under there.

    Dogsniff: Get well soon. Was wondering where you had been the past few days. Things aren’t the same here without you. Somebody named Catsnort offered to fill in for you, but it just isn’t the same thing at all.Johnny: Thanks for letting us know.

    @Boise State vs. (etc.): You keep changing your name faster than we can keep up with you. I think this is about name number 10.

    As many have asked: how is it that the ferocious tiger becomes a meek kitten at exactly the wrong times?(Cartoon Physics, or Biology, is all I can figure…)

    I still think Calvin needs to give the monsters a High Five. In the face. With a baseball bat.

    TIGER, tiger, burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

    In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand dare seize the fire?

    Calvin should try doing what I did when I was his age and afraid of the dark, monsters under the bed, etc.: I slept with a small nightlight on. It provided enough light to “scare away” the monsters but it wasn’t so bright that it kept me awake at night. Worked like a charm until I became old enough to NOT be afraid of the dark anymore!

    Hobbes is speaking from experience in panel 3. As his namesake would tell you, the state of nature is no picnic.
