Answer: Growling friendly like

We often forget that we must be politically correct around tigers.

Answer: Yes

Calvin had no desire to write a story for school, so he decided to time travel into the future when he had already written it and swipe it. But the Calvin in the future was the exact same as the present Calvin, and eventually the present and future Hobbes ended up writing an insulting story.
