Earlier on, mild-mannered Calvin was minding his own business, having a serious discussion in his room, with Hobbes, on the merits of chewing gum, when the emergency beacon for Stupendous Man sounded...

 

Some time later...

 

 

Stupendous Man had quickly resolved the emergency, and had flown into Calvin's house, landing near the storeroom, when his arch-nemesis, Mom-Lady, appeared.

 

 

Sensing his perilous situation and fearful for the consequences of his identity being discovered, the resourceful and quick-thinking Stupendous Man leaps into the closet...

 ... without examining his surroundings and what might happen!


And that is nearly how I was discovered... :-)
