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.

I’ve done all those things except being charged by a rhino; it was a giant snake, instead. *(You get a lot more adventures out of life if you make them yourself!)

He got into a ditch once though.

He could write about Spaceman Spiff and the Zogwargs. How he nearly escaped, but got caught at the last moment and sentenced to vile servitude in the Zogwarg Elementary Penal Colony.

You would think an imaginary adventure would suffice.

I suppose those involuntary camping trips don’t count either, eh. “You call that an adventure? No murderous charging wild boars or canoe-tipping crocodiles in sight!”

He can write how he’s never had any adventures in real life, but has made them up in his mind (Spaceman Spiff, Stupendous Man, etc.)
