    that’s what happens, Calvin- you start doing more and more stupid stuff and less and less of the great exploring and discovering stuff…

    Don’t complain too much Cal. There’s sure a lot of time to play Calvinball, to do funny things with a water balloon or the transmogrifier or the toboggan or ………….

    Nice to hear from you ladywolf.

    Calvin, avoid school at all costs. The prime reason for school is to destroy imagination and initiative and replace them with bland conformity. Is it any wonder that Dickens namned his teacher Mr McChokemchild?

    If calvin is lucky he will find a vocation which allows him to do what he really loves. Perhaps he will invent a real transmogrifier, or be the one who finds way to transoport people ala Star Trek. Or peraps he will be the one to become a space explorer like Spaceman Spiff. There is so much that Calvin can become if he can make school and dreams work together.

    Well Calvin, I’ve spent those 11 years of school, then had 4 years at uni, followed by full time work, now back at uni for another 4 years!

    Perhaps I love being a nerd, but I still have time for comics though!

    but calvin, when you are going to school you are exploring and discovering things all the time… you just don’t see it that way at the time

    Welcome to the fun & excitement that is GoComics. I think you’ll enjoy the various characters you’ll run into both in the strips and in the posts. Generally, we’re a safe bunch! Just don’t give out personal information about yourself here or anywhere on this thing we call

    the internet!

    Solution: Calvin make the above pitch to dad; dad will then take away Calvin’s moron-box privileges and Calvin will have plenty of playing time (some of the erstwhile moron-box allocated time).

    I don’t think Calvin has to worry about college or graduate school. Plus, weekend television is WAY less interesting as an adult (unless you’re a sports fan).

    With his imagination Calvin should be a writer of some kind, space novels or comics. He could actually enjoy his work.

    As Shakespeare said “If all the year were playing holidays, to sport would be as tedious as to work.” Calvin you will learn soon enough that all that playing has life application. And if you learn your playing lessons well enough, work will not be dreary at all.

    Oddly enough, as I was reading this my own seven-year-old son, whose name is Calvin, came downstairs and made the same complaint–too much school and not enough time to play. Luckily though, he’s not a TV junkie and gets in plenty of adventure during his off hours.

    Calvin, follow in Mark Twain’s footsteps. Never let schooling get in the way of your education.

    Wow, Calvin, you sure are getting ahead of yourself! You’re assuming you’re going to college and grad school but you have to graduate elementary and high school first! Poor Susie has been “carrying you” in your studies lately but she’s onto you and that’s not going to last forever. When that happens and you have to do it on your own, then what will you do?!?!?!?!?

    Wouldn’t it be wonderful if schools looked at each child’s natural gifts and assisted them in developing them? Cookie cutter education is crummy.
