Nine

In the first panel, Hobbes is asleep on his back in the front yard. Calvin approaches and asks Do you think Mom would be happier had I been born a girl?


Hobbes rolls over to address Calvin I don't think it would matter one way or the other. Your parents love you regardless of gender, and happiness is symptomatic of that love.


In the third panel Calvin is starting to cry Well I know one thing is for certain...I would've been happier.


Calvin gloomily kicks the ground and tries to stifle his tears. Hobbes is looking for clarification You'd be happier if you were born a girl?


Susie Derkins walks by Hi Calvin...


In the final panel Calvin kicks Susie in the stomach and runs away. The stuffed animal incarnation of Hobbes lays next to Susie as she writhes on the ground, trying to catch her breath.
