Hawk-eytown

Hawk-eytown is a The many adventures of Calvin and Hobbes episode from Season one. In this episode, Calvin’s Homework is stolen by a hawk.

Summary
Hobbes is sitting on a rock, eating the leftovers from Calvin’s breakfast (Some eggs and a sausage). He then breaks the fourth wall and tells the viewer that friendship is more valuable then gold, because he will need a lot of help mining all that gold. Calvin arrives and tells Hobbes that he did did his book report because if he didn’t, he would get a tutor. Hobbes questions why he is eating bacon, and Calvin responds that it is a snack.

A hawk, attracted by the smell of bacon, steals Calvin’s bacon and steals the paper (which has greasy bacon handprints on it). Calvin freaks out before Hobbes calms him down. Hobbes then suggests asking people if they have seen it. Calvin agrees and they head off.

The first person they ask is Susie. Susie does not want to talk with Calvin, so she says no and walks away. Then, they ask a kid (Norman) if he has seen the hawk. He says he saw it flying towards Michigan Street, where his friend Isaac lives.

Calvin and Hobbes find Isaac, who screams at them not to touch the baby cake he is eating. Once he realizes what they are there for, however, he tells them to check the tree behind his house. After Calvin asks if Isaac and Norman can hang out, he investigates, and finds that the hawk is a barn owl.

Calvin goes to school and admits the truth to Mrs. Wormwood, who completely understands as it happened to her once. After school, Calvin tells his life lesson to Hobbes. Suddenly, the hawk drops the paper while flying away from a power line. The paper lands in Calvin’s hand and everyone cheers.
