Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 02, 1986

I’ve never seen sparks fly when body meets gravel.

Its gravel flying not sparks

I could imagine me being Hobbes and any one of my friends being Calvin…I dont have many friends…

That had to hurt.

Motorcyclists get good at doing this—and much better at finding places that might not hurt so much..It’s a good reason to wear all that leather. Besides the chance of hitting a wizz-bang bug, I mean.

At least he stopped!

Think Hobbes is gonna look like Calvin in a few seconds?

Gravel works for semi trucks, why not kids on skateboards?

This is close to my couple of attempts at roller skating

i guess hobbes wanted to get revange of getting him locked out and his mom

Ouch. I had a similar experience sitting on a skateboard. I rolled right into a chainlink fence and got a million scratches.

I mean, he did stop.
