Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 05, 2020

Only if you have that Tabby declawed

So, how did “glomp” become an onomatopoeia for hugging again?

not unless, Calvin, that tabby is Mr. Arbuckle’s visiting grey tabby kitten rather than his indoor overweight orange adult tabby

Sleeping tigers should probably be left alone.

Kinda like Garfield… except he’s not little.

You should ALWAYS let sleeping tigers lie.

The Lion….err. tiger sleeps tonight….

Grabbing the short ribs will still be dangerous!

This must be why those damn tabby cats are so popular!

But, Calvin, even tabbies have a little tiger in them still.

That’s why Esso (later, Exxon) used the slogan, “Put a Tiger In Your Tank”. --I remember they even gave out stuffed tiger tails that we attached to our bicycles….thought that was so cool.

Not one of your better ideas, Calvin!

True, take Garfield f’rinstance. Only, he isn’t “little”!

Don’t mess with tigers while they are eating or sleeping, Calvin!

Calvin almost paid a huge price for that one!

They don’t like “cutesy” talk, either… they just can’t put your entire head in their mouths.

I would change Hobbes’s name to Mantecore.

Only Suzie and Calvin’s mom could get away with that kind of talk and live.

In panel two, Calvin came within about a second of death.

Well done, Hobbes! I’d have reacted the dame way!

Hobbes-y Wobsy?

Hobbesie Wobbsie? That’s a weird one.

I’d bite somebody’s head off too, if they woke me up.

I’d really like to see another panel – Calvin explaining to his Mom: Hobbes did this to me!

Tabby cats — Same ferocity, smaller package.

Another hard-earned lesson for Calvin.

I’ve had Tabby cats who are only too happy to GLOMP!

As the old saying goes, big cats are dangerous, but a little pussy never hurt anyone.

The storied advice about leaving sleeping tigers, etc, was apparently well-founded.

Snoogie-Woogie!!

Cats, huh?

Hobbsie sweety!

But I would NEVER speak to a cat that way.

DON’T FARK WITH THE KITTEH!!

Well, sleeping Hobbes IS cute.

Cats are great. I love cats. There are so many recipes…

How did Calvin not see this coming? My intelligence rating for him just dropped a few notches.

Sometimes, essentially, the same thing, just a difference in scale…

At your age, even tabby cat would be demeaning.

This kid is seriously twisted.

Tread carefully, Calvin, with the baby talk—especially around tigers.

This one made me laugh, though.
