Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 15, 1988

Transcript:

Calvin: This is Calvin, your captain, speaking...just to reassure you that, yes, there is someone up front. Calvin pilots the jet airliner across the country at 35,000 feet. He is given clearance to land. But what's this? A plane from a rival airline is making for the same runway to shave precious minutes off its schedule! It's a 600-mph game of chicken! Calvin pulls back on the throttle and lurches ahead! The other pilot tries to cut Calvin off with a sudden drop in altitude! Calvin switches on the "fasten seat belt" light in the cabin, and does a barrel roll! At 5Gs, Calvin hopes not to black out! As they close in on the runway, the other pilot has no choice but to pull up and circle around again! Calvin wins! Hey, Mom, is it true I could get a pilots license at age 14? Mom: No.
