Take the High Branch
Posted on December 22, 2014 by p.j.
The title of this comic should actually be "Bill, Please Don't Sue Me."  I try to avoid drawing classic cartoons in my strip unless I can fully justify it.  If it's not done correctly, it can come off as an easy laugh.  However, this gag came to me whilst I was waking up this morning.  Seemed funny then, hopefully it's still funny when I'm in small claims court.

      Keep waiting. I had to take of my drummer hat and replace it with my funny hat.

    One of my all time favorites

      Think you told me this already. But I never get tire of hearing it. Glad you like it.

      Ahahaahah! You got me on the name thing at first glance. I was like….”yaaaaaaaaah!”

    Pine cones….hmm never thought of that

      Oh yeah. Best ever… if you’er a 12 year old boy.

    I believe Mr. W would love this, P.J.! I sure did! Wonderful job, wonderful tribute!

    PJ, your comic turned out nice . . . Bill will never sue.

      Thanks David!

    I’m guessing Bill appreciates being affectionately referenced. I think if you had Calvin, say, urinating on a Chevy symbol, he might be more likely to object! 🙂

      I suppose that’s true. It’s not like I’m making Hobbes a permanent cast member on my strip or anything.

    Just don’t use any of that yellow snow!

    Well there stranger, really neat strip today… whoever you are. Small claims court eh? I think your parents are busy that day…..

    Dear ol’ mom and dad

      Need you as character witnesses. Then again, maybe not.

      1. Don Day

        Well yeah, we could testify that you are a character, if that’s all you need.

        1. p.j.

          Fair enough.

    It’s also a nod to the other strip…. Keeping C & H in everyone’s mind too 🙂 🙂

    Yes…… A snowball fight may be a bit safer. 😀 😀 😀

      It’s the pine cone hand grenades that will leave a mark.

    Yeah but Calvin & Hobbes are a boy & a tiger. I’m sure a girl & a bear can do a much better job. Nice cameo & hope the court costs & fines aren’t too high PJ

      Thanks Tony.

Give me my comments. I need validation.
