Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 26, 1989
Transcript:
Calvin: Get a load of this dumb assignment! I'm supposed to write about an adventure I've had! I haven't had any adventures! My life has been one big bore from the beginning! Have I ever been abducted by pirates? Have I ever faced down a charging rhino? Have I ever been in a shoot-out or on a bombing raid? No! I never get to have adventures! Hobbes: What about the time you backed the car through the garage door? Calvin: You call that an adventure? I didn't even get on the highway.
You would think an imaginary adventure would suffice.
