Soda

”Soda” is a Calvin and Hobbes short used to promote the premiere of The many adventures of Calvin and Hobbes. It was released on December 31, 2017.

Plot
It’s a snowy day, and Calvin and Hobbes are eating cookies and playing NHL 18. Hobbes says nothing can make it better, so Calvin tries to get some some soda, but they are out. After some panicking, Calvin decides to go to 7-Eleven to get more.

Upon reaching 7-Eleven, Calvin asks the Cashier for some soda, but has no money to pay for it. He begs the Cashier to make an exception for just one time, but the Cashier says he isn’t getting any soda unless he has $14 or something worth $14. He also jokingly suggests that the two sell their butts on the street. Hobbes freaks out, but Calvin gets an idea.

Calvin visits Principal Spittle’s house and steals his stereo player. At first Hobbes has doubts, But is happy because it means his butt will remain unsold. Spittle then comes out and chases the two for stealing his stereo, but they escape.

Calvin then revisits the 7-Eleven and exclaims all the features of the stereo before asking if he can get a pack of Diet Coke for it. The Cashier responds with a “Frick Yeah!” and takes the stereo. After the pair leave, Spittle smashes his car into the building. He then takes his stereo back from the stunned Cashier and tells him that if he’s got stolen goods, then he’s stealing them back.

Calvin and Hobbes than come back home to resume their gameplay. Hobbes questions if the Cashier was okay after the incident, but Calvin tells him not to care, to which Hobbes responds “Yeah, who needs him.” Calvin notices that the police have come to bust them for stealing the stereo, but ignores it and shares a laugh with Hobbes. The short ends with the text ”HAPPY NEW YEAR!” and “3\21\18”.
