Traveling the mind

Magical childhood unleashed

For the Judey Kalchik #BookReviewHaiku unofficial challenge.

Calvin and Hobbes follows the humorous antics of the title characters: Calvin, a precocious, mischievous, and adventurous six-year-old boy; and Hobbes, his sardonic, imaginary stuffed tiger.

Quote’ -

“Hold it. You know what I'd like to see? I'd like to see the three bears eat the three little pigs, and then the bears join up with the big bad wolf and eat Goldilocks and Little Red Riding Hood! Tell me a story like that, OK”

- Calvin

    I remember this comic strip. Good work in describing what Calvin and Hobbes do is so short a piece.

    The genius of making that last line the one perfect word to describe C&H brilliance! Yes.

    Yes! A fantastic haiku about the greatest duo ever! Batman and Robin can eat their shorts! Uh... sorry. I LOVE C&H and I love this haiku. Well done, Kelli!
