Hobbes’ tail is very expressive.

Mom lays down the law to Dad for once!

Calvin has yet to learn discretion, even with Hobbes.
Eventually he learned to wake Hobbes—or at least mess with his dreams—with cookies.

Isn’t that the old saying? “Let sleeping tigers lie” (actually they should be honest if awake or asleep).

Hobbes was having the finest dream – feasting on a T-Rex T-bone probably.

The Dad probably got similarly bad grades when he was Calvin’s age.

I love how anti-climactic the imagination sequence has the T-Rex! He’s just like “I reign supreme over this pitiful landscape! Nobody would dare oppose me!” and then when the sabertooth starts chasing him he’s like “F**K THIS S**T I’M GETTIN’ THE HELL OUTTA HERE!!!!!!” and breaks into a cartoon-style sprint.
