I love the brat.
A colleague gifted me a collectors edition of Calvin and Hobbes, 3 books in a series. I am starting today to re-read all of them.
And very first one makes me want to blog it:
(For those who haven't read the toon, Calvin is a 4 year old brat who believes his stuffed tiger Hobbes is not inanimate but live and together they indulge in adventures with imagination running wild n wildiest. Hehehehheheh. I love him)
C : I will never be able to memorize all these dumb vocabulary words
(Gets into a cardboard carton, which he calls a 'TRANSMOGRIFIER' and transmorgrifiers himself to an elephant, since the elephant has amazing memory and that would make homework easier... LOL. Out he goes playing with Hobbes when walks in Susie, his play friend who he actually hates as a little boy, quite obviously as the little girl at four thinks she has her head firmly on her shoulders, quite unlike Calvin, of course.)
S: Hi Calvin, look at you. ( Since Calvin is all covered up and dirty playing in the mud)
C: Impressive, eh? How did you even recognise me. ( Who thinks he actually has been Trans.... to an elephant)
S: I will admit it wasn't easy.
C: Susie, here is a riddle, who do you think me and hobbes look like?
S: I give up
C: The Republican party and Tammany hall! See? Pretty good, huh? Forget it Hobbes, political humour is just too sophisticated for girls.
Mom : Calvin time for dinner
C: Mom will have a fit if I go in as an elephant. I better sneak to my room and transmogrify myself back.
Mom sees Calvin all covered up with mud sneaking in : What have you been doing!
C: It is Ok . This is not permanent
Mom : In the tub!
C in the Transmogrifier in his room: Back
Dad at the dinner table : So let's hear one word you learnt
C: Ok. Let's see. Uh.. hmm....
Dad : You better spend more time after dinner studying
C: Oh No! I remember them when I'm an elephant. I just don't know them now. Don't worry I will transmogrify myself before school tomorrow.
C in the room to Hobbes post dinner reading a comic while Hobbes at the study table learning vocab : You know Hobbes, if it wasn't for you I would have no fun.
Hobbes: I am learning some good words. You know the beets you brought me from dinner aren't bad ...they are certainly 'salubrious'.
