Strip by: DooMps

Calvin: One of the joys being a kid is that experiences are new and therefore are more intense.
{Calvin takes a Can of red 40, seemingly coming from the fridge.}
Calvin: For example, I’m about to stick my nose in a can of red 40 and inhale it deeply! Let’s see what’s it like.
{Calvin inhales the can of red 40, and jumps into the air while Hobbes is looking}
SFX: WHOOP!
{Cut to a funeral, Calvin’s parents are sitting there, while Hobbes is gone}

The author writes:

Yes, this was partly inspired by the Plankton Red 40 gif.
