Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 29, 2009

Awwwww man, Spiff was hving so much fun.

Don’t get Spaceman Spiff upset or he’ll pick another planet, Dad!

I’m sure Dad wouldn’t mind.

Better bouncing off the bed than off the wall.

Wow, sure is getting some air on that bounce.

You shouldn’t have bought him the extra bouncy bed, Dad.

Dang, all that money & the “ejector mattress” is just a padded trampoline? Er, not that he WANTED Calvin to get tossed into the next county. Accidental purchase, really. Honest!

Wow, I wish I could’ve gotten that kind of air potential on my bed when young.

I miss having one of those little round trampolines.

You gotta cut down on his sugar diet, Dad.

looks like he’s feeling better already…

But Dad, I’m looking for a rest area with working facilities.

Feeling better and making up for lost time.

\\//_

Originally, Spiff was urgently looking for a rest stop with a working john. Now, he’s playing with gravity. I foresee trouble ahead.

Zork was more fun.

What an imagination.

Have another five bowls of sugar bombs.

…in these reruns I always try to imagine Calvin as the Dad…

So was my dream at night!

maybe cut back on all that cereal……

Dad should remember what Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” I guess Dad, for all that he’s an engineer, failed physics!

And the The nasty “ganorf” alien showed up and challenged spiff to a duel…..

“Climbing down from his spacecraft” Judging from the teeth a lot of kinetic energy is being stored up… So it’s little wonder spaceman spiff is jumping that high! My guess would be there must have been some tremendous …planet-quakes on each rebound?

This makes me wonder why NASA doesn’t use more springs and less rocket fuel.

The bed I remember I had at his age did not bounce near that high I tried to, but it did not bounce like I wanted it to

Once again, Spiff’s adventure ruined by an adult when it just got good…

I still like the scene with Tom Hanks and Elizabeth Perkins on the trampoline in the movie, “Big”. We all need to have pure kid fun once in awhile.

I remember he worked on hydraulic pumps in one clip. Definitely he’s some kind of engineer. And thinking about it ,he does have some imagination…remember when he made Calvin faint with the story of the desembodied hand?

Planet Zokk might have a fraction of Earth’s Gravity but it has the same bed-time (rules).

Now that’s the REAL Calvin & Hobbes! Thanks for returning us from Bizarro C&H …
