Calvin and
Hobbes
are best friends, even though one is a tiger, and the other is a boy. Calvin
went to school, got in trouble and came home. Hobbes pounced on him, and
Calvin got mad at him and thanked him with his baseball bat. This happened
everyday, until one day, Calvin didn't come home. Hobbes, who became very
concerned, went to look for him. This begins... Hobbes'
Magical Quest!!!! Hobbes looked
near and far, there and here, but couldn't find him. Hobbes went to a fortune
teller who told Hobbes he must travel to the planet of Galixoid and Nebular.
Hobbes thought she belonged in an insane asylum. But then he learned she
wasn't lying, so Hobbes hitchhiked an intergalactic taxi and went to the
planet Zigabob 7 1/2. Once they arrived, Hobbes found an intergalactic
map. This showed the route to the alien's lair.
Hobbes took it, and found a guard there. Hobbes tried to pass him, but
the guard wouldn't let him through. Hobbes bribed, threatened, and then
persuaded the guard to let him through. Hobbes explored the dank, dark,
and smelly lair, but he found the leader's room. The leader, King Blor-Utar,
said, "If you want your friend back, you must pass the tests, but none
have ever succeeded, only failed, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha!"
Hobbes agreed
to the tests, and they began. First, Hobbes had to wrestle and beat a grizzly
bear. Hobbes did so. Second, Hobbes had to run faster then a cheetah, but
Hobbes thought he couldn't, because he wasn't wearing his drag chute, but
he happened to find it in his back pocket. He won the race, and passed
the second test. For the third test, he had to avoid a thousand arrows
being shot at him without being touched. Amazingly, Hobbes passed again.
For the fourth test, Hobbes had to lift 5,000 pounds. Hobbes, having that
tiger strength, passed yet again. Hobbes passed all the tests, and Calvin
was released. "But," King Blor-Utar said, "You must stay here and be my
slaves forever! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Calvin and Hobbes
tried to protest, but were taken away. Calvin and Hobbes thought of plans
to escape, but none of them were real enough to work. Finally, Calvin had
an idea, "Let's pretend to be dead. When they throw us away, we'll be free!"
They did, and it worked. But then they had to get back to Earth. Miraculously,
Spaceman
Spiff came and saved them. When Hobbes asked Calvin how this happened,
Calvin answered,
"Well, first
I was there, minding my own business, when all of a sudden, a horde of
dirty cannibals comes and grabs me, then they took me to this giant ship
that was being piloted by Galixoid and Nebular. They were complying about
how those stockings made them too hot on their planet, and they took me
away. Then you came, and you passed the tests and then we became slaves
and then we escaped by pretending to be dead, then Spaceman Spiff came
and saved us, then you asked me how all of this happened so I answered,
well first I was there, minding my own business..." "Yes, yes, we get it,"
Hobbes answered. They came back to Earth completely unharmed, though
Hobbes had a migraine after he told the story.
