Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 22, 2019

Yeah, pituitary gland, that’s the problem.

You seem to be a lot healthier in your condition than Robert Wadlow was.

if it’s that gland, Calvin, then how come your clothes also got bigger?

Notice how the houses are smaller in the 4th panel than they are in the 3rd. Calvin is really growing!

now go look for Moe !

He’ll be surprised when his mom is bigger than he is.

How did he sneak past mom?

Calvin now is the time to crush the school.

Or your imaginary gland.

This is a golden opportunity for you. When you’re a dinosaur you squish and squash everything. This is a first time for you as a human. Go for it.

Now that DOES it! A “normal” six-year-old concerned about his pituitary gland. I ask you, just how many six-year-olds…

Kids grow up so fast…

I’m surprised Calvin isn’t causing complete mass destruction and total chaos!

I believe Calvin’s been munching on the same cakes as Alice (In Wonderland).

There have been several mentions of Alice In Wonderland and I have made two myself. This second part of the story arc also reminds me of Gulliver’s Travels. Calvin seems to be becoming Gulliver in Lilliput.

Another thought. Calvin was relieved that his first physical change happened when he was indoors as it saved him from shooting up into the Ionosphere. This second, also temporary, change meant that he needed to get outside. It’s lucky for Calvin that the two changes didn’t happen in reverse order.

How is his clothes not ripped?

AND his shoes….

Fee! Fie! Foe! Fum!

I smell the blood of an… Oops, wrong story.

He needs to get his brain checked, not his gland.

If you step on your school Calvin, you can forget about your homework.

Wait till his mom finds ..Calvin’s left his homework to roam around outside.

I picked up one of my C&H books last week and have been following the same strips.

Don’t know how he got out that door, but okay…

Reverend Dodgson, call your lawyer.

Need a B-I-G doctor.

If only this storyline would float off into outer space

It’s all about perspective and camera angles…

Fell asleep watching “Gulliver’s Travels”?

Call Hank Pym.

A big day, indeed.

Go ask Alice.

I just had a thought: it is very close to Thanksgiving – maybe they could pump him full of helium, attach a few lines, and float him in the Macy’s parade?

My… what a big imagination you’ve got there, Calvin….

I suppose you’ll have to get your head checked.

So now does his name change from Calvin to Clifford?

Good thing his clothes grew bigger with him!
