Mom’s question rises an interesting angle. Could it be that Calvin sometimes gets beaten up at school- perhaps by Moe- and his way of dealing with it is to imagine that he got all the way home fine, until Hobbes jumped him? He seems almost too content in the panels right before the attack. That could be wishful thinking.

Once again, the tiger stalks his (somehow) unsuspecting prey and strikes! Another successful hunt!

Check out panel 6 (or 4 without the “disposable” heading). No comic artist has ever shown motion as well as Watterson.

Given the smile he had, I wonder if he was actually looking forward to the ambush.

And Calvin actually looks like he may have behaved.

Blame it on the dog. Uh, I mean tiger.
I would have loved a dog to greet me from school like that. A tiger? Not so much.

I think the yellow burst coming out of hobbess is a sound barrier cloud.
