Bill Watterson was originally going to have this be a much longer story arc of Calvin slowly growing bigger and bigger each strip, before deciding to wrap it up a lot faster since it was just being weird for weirdness sake.
I dunno. The may be getting a little thin up there. Remember the ionosphere? Of course, Spaceman Spiff seems to have no trouble with the atmospheres of the sundry planets he crashes on.
And yet, even at that size, you’re an insignificant dot in the vastness of the universe. May as well get back to your homework, particularly if your brain power has increased in proportion to the rest of you.

Couldn’t bring giant Hobbes into the picture, could you Calvin?

For all the weird and crazy stuff you do to Hobbes, Mom & Dad, Susie and Rosalyn, you still are a good kid and can enjoy the awe that life gives you.

Somehow, I suspect that Calvin’s homework is not getting done.

He could get a job at NASA launching satellites and spaceships. Pick it up and throw it.

Anyone else get the feeling that Calvin’s about to wake up in class without his homework.

Calvin the Colossus!

The 1960s, LSD (I never knew anyone that did acid, but it’d be interesting to talk to them now).

Many times this theme is too ridiculous to carry on for days. One day is quite enough.

Calvin’s got his head in the clouds? You’re kidding, right?

Couldn’t he possibly disturb Earth’s orbit?

I know this is in imagination, but I’m sure Calvin would have caused a lot of tsunamis if he stepped out into the ocean.

Watterson once again proves he’s an incredible artist.

And then he ran out of air. Of course, that was before he used up all the oxygen on Earth and killed out the entire population.
The tiger was the first to go.

That’s enough site seeing Calvin! Lean over so you don’t pass out from the lack of oxygen.
