Tiger Trap

The first Calvin and Hobbes newspaper strip. PANEL 1: [Calvin is in the lower right of the panel, wearing a pith helmet and his usual stripey shirt, addressing his dad, who is washing the car] So long, Pop! I'm off to check my tiger trap! PANEL 2: [Just Calvin] I rigged a tuna fish sandwich yesterday, so I'm *sure* to have a tiger by now! PANEL 3: [Calvin's dad turns back to the car, as Calvin turns to depart] Calvin's dad: They like tuna fish, huh? Calvin: Tigers will do *anything* for a tuna fish sandwich. PANEL 4: [Hobbes, dangling upside down with one foot in the trap, eating a tuna fish sandwich] We're kind of stupid that way.

"Calvin and Hobbes" turned 40 this week. (This strip, the first, is also the origin of the name of the very good Rose Melberg pop band Tiger Trap.)
