Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 15, 2020

Hobbes used to deliver the Daily Bengal when he was a cub.

In my mind, the paper tiger is an origami tiger.. Not sure y tho.

You honestly believe that, Calvin?

Paper Tiger (Noun): A person or thing that appears threatening but is ineffectual. Direct translation of the Chinese phrase “zhilaohu”

I know that but what’re you.

Great definition, Hobbes! And I hear Hobbes is good at math, too. You know, 7 + 3 = 73.

Great idea, Calvin go ask Hobbes , the smartest tiger ever known!!

You mean he actually reads? grin

I had to google this term, so I am impressed 6 year olds get it in their reading!

1965 hit “Paper tiger, paper tiger, you paper tigers are all alikeYour roar is much worse than your bite”

Calvin should know not to trust Hobbes when it comes to schoolwork!

All hat & no cattle

There was Calvin of NigerWho smiled as he rode on Hobbs, a tiger;They returned from the rideWith the lady inside,And the smile on the face of the tiger.

I want to thank everyone for educating me. I thought a “Paper Tiger” was an Origami challenge.

Sadly, with the current situation of newspaper economics, Paper Tigers are now extinct…

George Plimpton wrote an excellent book called “Paper Tiger.” It was about his experiences playing quarterback with the Detroit Tigers back in the 60s. It’s a great read; check it out.

If your “Google” is a stuffed tiger, your facts are bound to be a bit fuzzy. I have seen worse answers on the internet.

Oh no, Hobbes is sounding like Dad making stuff up. LOL!!

Hobbes may be wise, but he is not helpful to Calvin with his schoolwork. What’s up with that?

Calvin is reading Mao’s Little Red Book?

This explains why my newspaper always ends up on the roof.

Between Hobbes and Dad, poor Calvin will NEVER know what’s going on!!!

As good of an explanation as any.

Best laugh of my day!

You learn something new every day. Thanks, comment section.

Just like the morning I read the boring, no-prize cereal box. It didn’t make any sense to me how important it was to “break fast”. Breaking is usually bad and doing it faster wouldn’t help.

I think it was Mao who called the U.S. a paper tiger. But some other communist leader said “Yes, but with nuclear teeth.”

Yep, paper route. Pretty much common knowledge.

Origami cougar.

And don’t even get him started about Iron Maiden…

Similar to a stuffed tiger who roams freely in the house in your presence.

This little boy and his tiger certainly generated a lot of heavy discussion today.

A paper tiger is kinda like a paper president!

Wasn’t this a band in the 80’s?
