I wonder what the Allosaur thought of the snacks? A mushy banana and a sandwich with undetermined filling. And Hobbes, unperturbed through the entire episode. Well, except for his stomach of course……
But I will say I love Watterson’s rendition of the dino’s. I would love it if this episode had lasted longer…….
Two things I know now after readings today’s strip:
Vortex goggles are so very important to wear when time traveling that one must affix the eye protection properly, despite the threat of imminently being eaten by a dinosaur, before activating the time machine and escaping.
The time machine levitates vertically before engaging in the actual time travel trip.
The engineering behind the construction of the time machine simply amazes me!
Completely off the wall! But, Calvin’s in his own world with Hobbs. Since he doesn’t really anyone to play with because he knows that they wouldn’t understand him.
Food is a good motivator. I always show up at affairs where food is served.
I was in a dress shop with my wife one day. I approached the only other person in the store with a Y chromosome and said to him, “My wife is bribing me with lunch. What’s your story?” We had a great conversation.
Calvin may be a major pain in the tookus (toochus?) most of the time, but BOY do I love seeing his imagination, his ramblings and his adventuring. SSOOOO much better than living a young life in some screen!

Hobbes definitely earned that sandwich.

Hobbes is in it for the snacks, and Calvin is in it for the money. So they both get what they want in the end.

Old movie “A Sound of Thunder”. They fed a mushy banana to a dinosaur, and return to their present with EVERYTHING changed!

By the time he unwraps it, it will be a fossil.

Little known fact, the dinosaur slips only to perish on the mushy banana peel, fossilizes and is later found.

PETA will probably have them arrested for feeding the animals.

Sandwiches are high priority. Bananas, not so much.

And that modern-day banana, thrown into the Cretaceous (?) period, will change all of human history.

I like how their vortex goggles look similar to those big horn-rimmed eyeglasses some old cartoon characters wear, like Mr. Peabody and Sherman.

There’s no such thing as dinosaurs. God put fossils in the Earth just to test our faith (eyeroll).
