Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 13, 2016

Now the trickier part, getting down.

No injuries, high view, lucky.

Now they know how a cat feels. If I get stuck on a tree, I lay head down grabbing a branch with my legs and waving my arms for help, until the blood runs down my head.

The crash doesn’t matter, main thing – together!!

How high was the hill they were able to get stuck in the tree?

Calvin! I command you release your feline captive! Do so, and I shall let you live as my personal sculptor due to you snowman creations. Ignore me at your own peril!!! >:(

Calvin must have a hard head.

It almost looks as if Hobbes’ tail is “wagon”.

The little red wagon industry is sadly lacking making seat belts mandatory

When my son was 5, he climbed about 30 feet up a pine tree. My wife sent me to retrieve him. The problem was he weighed about 50 lbs. I weighed about 200. I couldn’t get all the way up because the branches would not support my weight. I managed to talk him down to my level and he rode my shoulders the rest of the way.

When we asked him why he climbed the tree, his response was “I wanted to see what the birds see.”

Well, that’s what happens when you are smuggling contraband noodles across state lines.

And now you know the rest of the story.

Is Hobbes referencing “I Can See For Miles” by The Who?

He probably isn’t of course but that’s what I don’t mind thinking!

Hey, this gives yet another "fantastic” excuse for not turning in your homework (if this were the school year, of course!):“Homework? Couldn’t do it. Little red wagon accident. Hobbes and I got stuck up in a tree! But it IS the truth.”Ms. Wormwood: “Hm, stuck up in a tree, huh? My, but they do get original, don’t they?!”

When I was a farm boy, I climbed every tree, within sight, no matter how high, it was, and I ‘NEVER’ once, fell out of one of those tree’s, just liked to climb those Tree’s.

Calvin, in modern-day times. Calvin’s Dad in his easy chair, reading a good book…“Bad news, ‘Dad’, on your poll ratings lately.”“Is that so?”“Hey. It’s an Election Year, 2016.”“So?”“So, if you want to stay in office, you’d better get your campaign in gear.”“How?”“Easy, make yourself more likable. What we need is a DVD Recorder, a home computer outfit (complete with Internet access, of course!), and Smart Phones for each of us (like Susie Derkins just got, from her Mom and Dad!). Get Cable TV (or, something like it!), increase my TV privileges, I want a later bedtime (as in, midnight or so), gimme a bigger allowance (say, at least $100 a week), and you’re all set. Now, your ratings may be down in the subbasement at the moment; but you just follow my suggestions, and I guarantee you: they’ll shoot right through the roof, in no time flat!"“Oh. Well. Thanks for sharing that.”“You’re gonna be one lonely guy in the Assisted Care Facility!”“Huh. Maybe there I’ll be able to finish my book.”“Well! See if I ever offer you a little friendly counsel again!”“Go to bed, Calvin.”

I hope you’re CRASHING a party up there.

Jeez he could die

I’ve been pretty high but never in a tree…

@LeadingEdgeFun comics. Thanks for sharing.

@rickrayHa! That just sounds so Calvin …

Once had neighbor kids beg me to help get a cat out of a tree. I called the fire department (based on a lifetime of seeing it on TV & in cartoons). They said, we don’t waste our time on that, and the cat will come down on its own.

Meanwhile, the cat came down on its own.

If you use internet explorer or foxfire you must be the only one.
