It's a dumb interpretation anyway since all that happens is that Calvin gets blown right out of his shoes and socks and he gets scuffed up a little. He never gets injured in any way, just shaken up.
You're all a bunch of namby pamby silly geese.
Re-reading that last strip almost made me tear up.

There is only one rule
There are no rules.
whoever can outwit and out think everyone else will "win"
are you sure you understand calvinball
obviously i do not understand
i mean in the comics i get it, but how would you play and keep track of all the rules/set up the game field in advance
like all the wickets and signs and flags
Nope. You do whatever you want.
Just do whatever you and your friends feel like doing, but keep track of it all and make it crazy and challenging and fun.
Edit: is this hscrolling anyone? should i spoiler it?

This thread is full of nostalgia, I have 4 collections of comics book things and I love them dearly...
I hate reading them though as I know it will be over if I start
but you can outrun him
You don't have enough stress anticipation in your life.
hmmm...fuck you...I was never able to do it...
there is no reason to ever watch that animated planet hulk flick
You don't have to keep track of it all. Just the stuff you made up.
The best part of the calvinball strips are the arguments for what just happened.
Stuff like this
" You touched the Boomerang Zone you have to forfeit the ball to the thrower"
" Yeah but the zone returned to you so it comes back to me"
" Too bad I'm in the rubber Elysium It bounces boomerang zones but not the ball back to their original point. Oh look your in the poem chaoticum. Time to write a Haiku."
That may or may not be an exerpt from a calvinball game I instigated
Why you guys gotta make me so nostalgic all the time
I should save up and get the complete collection. It's definitely something I'd hold onto and pass down if ever I have kids.
The 2nd panel of this is one of my favorite visual metaphors ever.
Also, this sort of happened to me once.
7 years ago, first day of my senior year of high school. I wake up around 3 AM and start preparing cereal, milk, and juice. I'm actually opening the OJ when I realize:
IT'S THREE IN THE MORNING WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING
There is no doubt in my mind that if someone says they hate this strip I will punch them in the dick.
Oh man I used to do that all the time when I was younger. I usually didn't snap out of it until one of my parents got woken up by the sound of the shower and told me to go back to bed.
The worst for me was last year, when I got a summer job working as a cashier at Wal-Mart. After the first week I started having dreams where I was at work, then I'd wake up in the middle of them and grope all around the bed because I couldn't find the thing I was just ringing up. Eventually I'd give up, not because I realized that it was a dream, but because I realized that it wasn't my shift anymore, so it wasn't my responsibility.
One night I grabbed a flower arrangement off of the nightstand, and pulled out and "rung up" each flower individually. I woke up with a huge mess in my bed and on the floor with only a vague memory of what happened.
