Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 04, 2015
Transcript:
Calvin: "Life is full of possibilities" Calvin: "For example, right now, instead of waiting for the school bus, I could stick out my thumb, hitch a ride, and spend the rest of my life in the Serengeti, migrating with the wildebeests!" Hobbes: "The Serengeti is in Africa. You couldn't really hitch a ride there" Calvin: "Life if full of precluded possibilities"

I always wondered…does Hobbes just lay there on the sidewalk until Calvin gets back from school???

@Vgrift85: No, Hobbes walks home after Calvin gets on the school bus – unless Calvin’s Mom sees him. In that case, he becomes a stuffed animal and she goes out and brings him in.

Hitching is dangerous! DON’T DO IT!

@aicarrie1: Not only is hitching dangerous – those migrations can be a bit problematic.

Sometimes stuffed animals can be such a Kiljoy.

Johnny Carson spent much of his last years in/on the Serengeti!
It was the name of his yacht.

Hobbes is a buzzkill.

At that age, both sons were experts on dinosaurs. Too, my first born was teaching my dad about how imploding stars become white dwarfs. My dad thought stars only exploded.

Calvin must think they are “wild beasts” because those are much more fun (and they do wilder things than merely migrate)…….

Now THAT’s funny!

Anybody who has seen a wildebeest migration knows that even THEY don’t want to be there. One of the most ghastly animal activities I’ve seen.

Get to be buddies with someone who has a plane at a smaller airport. With connections, it is possible to hitchhike by air.

After my favorite teacher read to use from “My Side of the Mountain”, I decided I was going to be like the hero of the story. I was going to run away to the Rocky Mountains and live there.
Then I got a map and realized I could not get there since I still wasn’t allowed to leave my yard unescorted.

Well, he could hitchhike to Wales, Alaska, then finagle a native there to fly him across the Bering Strait to Lavrentiya..
