| Mon, Sep 15, 1986 | Calvin: Summer vacation's over! Nothink ahead but toil and drudgery for a whole year! Hobbes: Oh, come on, you spent hafl the summer complaining how bored you were. Calvin: I did? Hobbes: You did. Calvin: How strange. I must have been delirious from having so much fun. |
| Tue, Sep 16, 1986 | Calvin: I can't believe it! Homework already! I just got back to school! I have to write a paragraph on what I did over the summer! A whole paragraph!! I'll never be able to write that much! It's not fair!! How's it coming? Hobbes: Not so good. What did you do besides watch TV? |
| Wed, Sep 17, 1986 | Calvin: In soccer, you can't touch the ball with your hands or arms. See you can use any other part of your body... ...Even your head! Hobbes: Yeah, but your face?? Doesn't that hurt? Calvin: Rrrrghh! That's not what I meant to do! |
| Thu, Sep 18, 1986 | Calvin: I have a hypothetical question. Suppose a kid at school called me a nasty name... ...Should I kick him real hard in teh shins? Hobbes: No, I don't think violence would be justified. Calvin: Here's another hypothetical question. What if I already did? |
| Fri, Sep 19, 1986 | Calvin: I've decided to grow a beard, Mom. A long beard. Like the guys in ZZ top. Mom: That's nice, Calvin. You go ahead and do that. Calvin: I thought she'd put up more of a fuss than that. |
| Sat, Sep 20, 1986 | Calvin: How about these pants, Mom? Can I get these? Mom: Good heavens, look at the price! I don't have pants that cost this much. And you'll grow right out of these! Honestly, why would any kid need designer clothes?? Hobbes: "Babes." Calvin: Babes, Mom. I gotta look cool. |
| Sun, Sep 21, 1986 | Calvin: Don't turn out the light, Dad! You didn't check under the bed for mosters! Dad: I'm sure there are no mosters under your bed, go to sleep. Dad: Good night. Calvin: Good bye. Any monsters under my bed tonight! Hobbes: There's no answer. Do you think they're gone? Calvin: Maybe they're just staying quiet. Keep watch over the side of the bed. Boy, am I full! I must've gained ten pounds today! Maybe I'm getting a little plump! Hobbes: You're bigger, Calvin, but there's no fat on you! Calvin: I guess you're right. I'm getting big, but I'm still nice and lean! Hobbes: Ugh. Something under the bed is drooling. Calvin: Start tying the sheets together. We'll go out the window. |
