Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 21, 2016

hit em with the heeeiiiinnn

Hobbes doesn’t want to come down with staphylococcus.

It’s pretty bad when your imaginary friend give you attitude.

The heck with football. I want the NFL to play by Calvin’s rules…more exciting.

You think football is violent? Try rugby! I got trampled really bad.

Smooches for Hobbes, that’s most important!

So many football players have gained 99 yards, so what do they get?

Hobbes is such an easy mark. Promise him smooches, and he’ll do whatever you ask.

Looks like Hobbes has found himself a cheerleader…

(Sing it like that song “Cheerleader”)

One-upsmanship at its best.

The season is getting close — HURRY UP!

A cheerleader smooch after each yard gained? What was I doing wrong in high school then?

What, no Hobbes auto claw extensions into ball. High-five any cat, uh, no thanks.

1) Hobbes smooching the cheerleaders leads to a delay of game penalty.

or

2) While Hobbes is smooching the cheerleaders, Calvin grabs the ball, and scores a touchdown!!

Where’d he get the first pigskin?

There’s a pig with some skin in the game.

I will never understand American Football.I prefer our (UK) football.

Sorry, kissing is not ready for prime time at this comic…

I like the last panel.

Never mind football I want more Calvin Ball!

Clearly, cheerleader smooches is the objective of the game. Hobbes wins again!

Looks like that may have been an illegal forward pass. Calvin appears to be past the line of scrimmage when he passes the first time. The play is all for naught. Except for the smooches of course.
