” Let me in! Your Mom said I could stay here! No! Go away! You can wait in a tree! I’m telling! HELLO? HELLO? CALVIN WON’T LET ME IN! AAUGH! shh! shhh! OK, OK! In fact, heh heh heh, why don’t you go in ahead of me? I just remembered a big orange surprise waiting for you! Don’t be scared! Yeah, I’m trembling. I’ll just step way, way back here! Calvin and Susie are fighting about her waiting in Calvin’s house. Susie yells that Calvin won’t let him in. Suddenly, Calvin pushes her next to the door. He just remembered a big orange surprise waiting for her. Susie starts to open the door. Calvin runs back away from her. “
” Is this your “”big orange surprise”"? Doggone it, Hobbes! Didn’t you pounce?! Here’s your tiger. He was by the door. WHAT’S WITH THE TIE?! Hello, Susie. Come on in. My Mom didn’t call and say I could go home yet, did she? YOU DRESSED UP FOR A GIRL??!” “Susie asks if this is his big orange surprise. Calvin asks if Hobbes didn’t pounce on her. Susie hands Hobbes to Calvin, saying he was by the door. Hobbes is wearing a tie. Mom tells Susie to come in. Susie asks if her mom called to say she could come home already. Calvin chastises Hobbes for dressing up for a girl. “
” Would you care for a snack, Susie? Um, OK. Thank you. Well? What have you got to say for yourself? When one entertains female friends, one should try not to look quite as seedy as certain unnamed parties habitually do. Who’s entertaining?! Who’s a female friend? Who looks seedy?! A spotted tie is just the thing when you’re wearing stripes! Tigers have a natual flair for causal chic! I can’t believe this. Why didn’t you kill her when she came in the door?! By the way, if you had made proper introductions, we might have smooched her hand. Here, let me adjust the narrow end of your tie about eight inches. Mom offers Susie a snack. Calvin asks Hobbes what he has to say for himself. Hobbes says that when entertaining female friends, one shouldn’t look quite as seedy as certain unnamed parties habitually do. Calvin wonders who’s entertaining and who looks seedy. Hobbes thinks a spotted tie is just the thing when you’re wearing stripes. Calvin asks why Hobbes didn’t kill her when she came through the door. Hobbes tells Calvin that if he had made proper introductions, he might have smooched her hand. Calvin reaches toward Hobbes offering to adjust the narrow end of his tie about eight inches. “
Remember when girls were awful and people who tried to impress girls were even more awful?
