Calvin, Hobbes, Mom, and Dad walked to the double doors.
"It's heavenly!" Calvin said.
"I agree." Said Hobbes
"I love it!" Mom said with amazement.
"Just be kind to everyone, OK, Calvin?" Dad dully said.
"Dad," said Calvin, "Have I ever caused problems in our very lives?"
Dad stared at him with an awkward expression on his face.
The list of problems was endless!
After a long moment of silence and Dad staring at Calvin, someone answered the door.
It was Jason Fox.
"Hey," he said, "Welcome to the Comics Club! Where comic characters around the newspapers have fun!"
Everyone stared at him.
"Ok," said Jason, "They paid me to say that to guests"
"Whatever," Dad said, "Where do we sign up?"
"In the room behind m-"
Jason couldn't finish the last word in the sentence because they already plowed past him.
"Gee, they ARE anxious to be here and we thought we were more excited than they were!"
And with that, he walked to the door on the left.
Calvin and his family rushed to the registration room.
It was a room that looks like the lobby of a five-star hotel. In the center of the room was a table with tons of papers. There were silver statues of the major comic characters bolted to the walls. There were even statues for Calvin and Hobbes. There were three doors decorated with comic strips: one to left and the right and one behind the table.
"Wow! Even this room is luxurious!" Calvin said with awe.
Mike Doonesbury walked to the table with the papers.
"Hello," he said, "and welcome to the Comics Club. Please sign you names on this paper"
Calvin, Hobbes, Mom, and Dad looked at the paper that was filled with signatures of every comic character attending.
"Wow" Hobbes said.
They signed the paper.
"Thanks. The kid and tiger go to the door on the left. The mom and dad go to the door on the right. There will be a butler who will take you to your rooms. He will also give you schedules of the events to occur here. Here are your keys and enjoy your visit."
Mike handed them key cards and they left.
Then he looked at the signatures.
Dad wrote his signature as if he were writing a check.
Mom wrote hers in cursive.
Hobbes wrote his in Calvin's handwriting.
Calvin drew a giant version of himself destroying a highly populated city and bringing down F-14s that were trying to shoot him. He also wrote his name next the dead, bloody bodies on the ground of the picture.
"Close enough" Mike said, putting the paper aside.
Mom and Dad walked through the right-side door.
Ok, first, let me explain the diagram of this building. The left half belongs to the kids and the right half has the adults.
Does this sum it up?
Good. Now let's continue with the story.
As I was saying, Mom and Dad entered the right half of the building.
A butler was waiting there.
"Ah…" he said, "and you are Mr. And Mrs.-"
"Just take us to our room" Dad said.
"With pleasure. You belong to Mr. Watterson, right?"
"Yes" Mom said.
"Ok. Come this way to the 'Retired Comics Suite'"
The butler led them to the elevator and they went up halfway through the building.
The elevator doors opened and Mom, Dad, and the butler came out. He took them to their room, which was R (Right) 502.
"Here is the schedule for the upcoming events. I will be you personal butler if you need anything" the butler said.
"I think we're all set" Dad said.
The butler left.
Mom and Dad stared at the door.
On the doors was the writing "R 502"and below was a comic strip about them.
Please note that comic strips are used to identify rooms.
Dad inserted the card through the slot.
The light on the knob turned from red to green.
The card popped back out and Mom and Dad entered their room.
Let me describe it. It is a room made up of three rooms. The first room is the kitchen and the "quiet area". The second room is the bathroom that has 2 toilet rooms and a double sink. The third room is the bedroom. It has a king-sized bed and a large plasma-screen TV. So, in other words, it is the perfect room of a married couple who has a kid in college. (although Calvin is not in college, he just separated from his parents in his own room).
"I love this place! It's also free!! It's awesome!" Dad said.
"I agree. Finally, a place without Calvin!" Mom said with happiness.
Mom and Dad unpacked and settled in for the day.
Calvin and Hobbes went through the door on the right.
A butler, similar to Mom and Dad's, showed up. Except this one was more cheerful.
"Hello! Welcome the kids section of the Comics Club!" he said.
"Please take us to our rooms! We're dying!" Calvin yelled impatiently.
"Who are you?" The butler said.
"Calvin and Hobbes!!" They yelled simultaneously.
"Ah, you two belong to the 'Retired Comics' suite! Follow me, young fellows!" The butler said in his cheerful way.
He led them to the elevator and it went up the top floor. Then they went to their door, L 1050.
"I will be you personal butler. Congratulations!" He said happily.
He handed them both a sheet of paper.
"Here are the scheduled events! Enjoy you stay here at the Comics Club, where comics around the newspapers have fun!"
He skipped to the elevator in a cheerful way and went down it.
Calvin and Hobbes rolled their eyes and inserted the card.
"Seriously, that butler is a weirdo!" Calvin said.
"Mm." Hobbes said.
The card popped out and Calvin and Hobbes went in.
The room was luxurious. It was similar to Mom and Dad's room, except Calvin and Hobbes had separate beds and the walls were painted in backgrounds to fit their style.
Oh yeah, and there was one more difference…
"OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOBBES, GET IN HERE!!!!!!!!" Calvin hollered.
"What is it? It better be g-" Hobbes said before being instantly awestruck by the sight in front of them…
"IT'S A MEGA HOME ENTERTAINMENT THEATER!!!!!" They both yelled with glee.
"It has digital high definition, wide screen, CD VHS DVD, CD-Rom, surround sound… and… FIVE REMOTES!!" Calvin screamed.
"We can share!" Hobbes said cheerfully.
Calvin, Hobbes, Mom, and Dad think this is heaven already. Just wait until the event there occur. Calvin and events don't really mix well…
