If you have memorized the Gettysburg Address, you can see how much the other person can remember. My dad was a minister and he used that to practice giving a speech at home.
I tried that on my father once. The 3rd sentence he said was “Please, Father, beat me about my head and neck until I bleed”. Nope, I wasn’t going down that road (not that he would have beat me)

Actually, the checkmate move here for Hobbes would be to say “Susie Derkins thinks I’m handsome, and likes me.”

So…
Calvin antagonizes someone twice his size, with the speed and strength and claws of a predatory cat.
Smart move Calvin, smart move.

I like to think Calvin got that messed up courtesy of only one thump from Hobbes.

Cal still gets a bit of satisfaction that will last after the bruises go away.

When the Dad tried what Hobbes did in the October 12, 1987 strip, Calvin still didn’t fall for it.

Doesn’t he get tired of getting beat up? Calvin is a slow learner.

Hobbes should have said “Calvin is” instead of “I’m an”.

Calvin did this to Dad earlier in the strip. When Dad said he’d forfeit his desserts for a week, Calvin said ‘Give them to me.’

I think lumpy gravy for brains is giving Calvin too much credit.
