Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 10, 1991
Transcript:
Calvin: While lying on my back to make an angel in the snow, I saw a greenish craft appear! A giant UFO! A strange unearthy hum it made! It hovered overhead! And aliens were moving 'round in view ports glowing red! I tried to run for cover, but a hook that they had low'r'd snagged me by my overcoat and hoisted me aboard! Even then, I tried to fight and though they numbered many, I poked them in their compound eyes and pulled on their antennae! It was no use! They dragged me to a platform, tied me up, and wired to my cranium a fiendish suction cup! They turned it on and current coursed across my cerebellum, coaxing from my brain tissue the things I wouldn't tell 'em! All the math I ever learned, the numbers and equations, were mechanic'ly removed in this brain-draining operation! My escape was an adventure. (I won't tell you what I did.) Suffice to say, I cannot add, so ask some other kid.

Lol he’s an author and a poet. He’ll need to learn some math but I think it’s safe to say he won’t need it for his career.

Of all the humans on Earth, they still managed to pick up the wrong one. (Or is it the right one?)
