Evergreen reminder

A Calvin & Hobbes 4-panel strip:
1. Calvin running at high speed, jubilant
2. Calvin skidding to a stop; off-panel bubble reads "Calvin, stop running through the house!"

In case you were wondering where to buy your Eagles championship gear in Philly, it’s literally every store. Hardware ✅ Grocery ✅ Auto repair ✅ I haven’t checked the hair salon, but chances are good. 🦅
