Red and Rover by Brian Basset for September 19, 2021

I remember doing that, but the school swings had chains so they would bind sometimes while unraveling.

Ba dum tssh!

Come on, Rover

Let’s do the twist

Come on, Rover

Let’s do the twist

Let’s go to the playground and

And go like this

E-yah, twist

Twirly, swirly, twist

Ooh yeah, just like this

Come on, it’s a bliss

And do the twist

Playground therapy with Rover will make it all better!

Today’s Calvin and Hobbes reprint ends in a similar way to today’s Red and Rover strip.

It’s where he goes to WIND and unwind.

That was fun, back in the day!

oh the irony

That’s hilarious! And it does make me recall I used to do that very thing, too!

Didn’t we all at one time. Today there is now no danger there. Sad times in deed…..

Is this a re run im not sure

7th panel- Rover knows to play it safe.

excellent! and very well illustrated!

If you unwind fast enough (you can speed it up by pulling on the ropes/chains), you can make the swing rewind in the opposite direction … and repeat?

I loved to do that too.

Oh, to be a kid again.

Said every kid, ever!!! :D
