Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 11, 2024

Hobbes doesn’t have travel sickness, does he?

I bet Hobbes is wondering how taking a bathroom break and eating snacks during time travel would affect history.

You could try to tuna Hobbes out until you land

It might be time for snacks.

Earth was beautiful when it first formed and the entire Earth was lava.

I like how what it is they’re traveling through changes from panel to panel.

Just a moment, Calvin! If you’re traveling at light speed, doesn’t that mean, for you, there is no time?

Nothing more annoying than a back-box-seat driver.

“We’re kind of stupid that way.”

“We could fly into the Big Bang”. I have a theory: we fly into a better show like Futurama perhaps?

If Calvin’s family believes in Creationism, then he and Hobbes will probably meet God, who might wonder why He created them. After all, this arc is millenia past the Great Flood that was sent to destroy all humanity!

Eat snacks now before they disappear.

“don’t make me come back there”

Today’s strip is a rare example of Calvin acting more responsibly than Hobbes. We all know that it is usually Hobbes who seems to be more mature and responsible than Calvin but there are exceptions such as today’s strip.

Nobody likes a backseat tiger.

At the signpost up ahead…………..your next stop…..

Hang on a nano-second, shouldn’t they be wearing helmets?

Plot Spoiler…It all comes down to the SNACKS!!!!

Geez, will you shut up about the stupid snacks??

They are boldly traveling through the immagination of Calvins mind. Boldly going where no boy and stuffed tiger has ever gone before !! lol

Calvin… is it wise to have a hungry tiger behind you and then try to deny him food?

If they fly into the Big Bang, they’d probably have other things to worry about than snacks

Hobbes’ motto . . . leave no snack uneaten.

Seems like any time would be a good snack time.

How do you know how fast you are traveling if you are traveling through time?

LOL!!!

I want to know where they got the cool goggles.

Most common question asked during time travel: “Are we then yet?”

Next time you plan time travel, Calvin, do what your parents do- everyone eats and potties before you leave.

Big bang or snacks, which would you choose?

This is how alternate snackverses are created.

The cosmos, space and time wrap latched with 6 year old and his stuffed feline. The combination is sheer magic.

I love Calvin’s imagination.

The time machine first appeared in the strip for August 31, 1987, when Calvin and Hobbes originally intended to go to the Future. It accidentally ended up in the Mesozoic, or more specifically, the Jurassic, but they did not realize it. They found a huge dinosaur egg, which they assumed was a space pod. They realised their error when they were chased to their Time Machine by an Apatosaurus. The error occurred because they were facing the wrong way. There you go

Travelling the universe in a box. That Calvin always theenking outta the box.

That kid sure has a good imagination

Hobbes has his priorities straight.

I have a thought on time travel. I’ll post it last week.

Try to sing The time warp, from Rocky horror show.

“That’s why I won’t explain it!”

Priourities. I am with Hobbes :D

They skipped going “Plaid,” and went straight to “Spiral Checkerboard!"

How many times has Calvin heard his mom or dad say that same thing?

Clearly, you both have different priorities.

Never travel in time with a navigator who thinks with his stomach.

Little did Einstein know….LOL

I’m getting flashbacks of the Stargate scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

First you had to go to the bathroom during hyperspeed, now you want to eat snacks?!
