Calvin, being again only in Hobbes' presence after the non-mouse soup lunch, is back to being an owl in the fourth installment from this week in 1988:
The Calvin & Hobbes "transmogrified into an owl" arc, part three. Note that the canon of everything being "normal" when it isn't just the two title characters carries into this strip.
Here's Owl & Hobbes, part two, from this date 28 (!) years ago.
A real treat this week (as we hit our 300th post) ... the only time Calvin & Hobbes had a full story arc that was bird-themed. This plays off the previous day's color Sunday strip where the pair keep "transmogrifying" each other until Calvin ends up as an owl; in a rare departure from the way Bill Watterson usually worked, that story continued through the following weekday strips. Here is the first installment, from February 15, 1988.
An old Bizarro from Valentine's Day, 2009.
(The original cartoon was uploaded in black and white, and was replaced when a colorized version became available December 13, 2017.)

Speed Bump from one year (and one day) ago:
And one more Mutts from four years ago today:
Mutts from this date in 2012:
