Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 26, 2015
Transcript:
Calvin: "Look at my new invention, dad! I unraveled a hanger and poked it out the back of my pants to make a tailhook!" Calvin: "Now, with a rope stretched across the doorway, I can blast into a room at top speed, and the hook will grab the rope and stop me before I crash out the window on the opposite wall!" Calvin: "Well?? Don't just sit there, man! Get out some patent applications!" Calvin: "I wonder how many fortunes he's let slip through his fingers"
Navy jets use a contraption similar to Calvin’s when they land on ships. It is known as an airplane hanger.
