There's treasure everywhere (title strip)


[Hobbes to Calvin, who's neck deep in a hole, wearing shola hat, very dirty]
H:  Why are you digging a hole?
C [grin]: I'm looking for buried treasure

H: What have you found?
C: A few dirty rocks, a weird root, and some disgusting grubs [offers H]

H: [holding what that may be a crumpled soda can] On your first try?!
C: There's treasure everywhere!

Note that cover shows H with a rock, and C handing him a wriggling worm

---
C asks Dad: What's it like being a grown-up?
Dad: [filling water in bucket] Well, it's not too different from being a kid...
Dad: [polishing opened up bicycle] ... except you're more attached to your
toys p.11

C: "today for show and tell I hav a very special whistle! I'll demonstrate."
[frame shows C blowing hard.] TWEEEET
someone not in frame: "what's so amazing about that? it sounds like an
	ordinary whistle to me!"
C: "it can only be heard by ugly cretins."
voice: "I'll get you at recess, Calvin." p.13
