    When I was in school I used a lot of “Classics Illustrated” to do book reports. You have to be older to remember those.

    Well you should have read the book yourself, Calvin….and got an earlier start to do it, too.

    Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠

    A little bit late for working, Calvin, isn’t it?

    You had to open your mouth Calvin. It sounded like Dad might have just read the whole book for you now you blew it!

    There are bells ringing, but I’m lost. Who were HH and GK? Sounds like fun.

    HH and the GK is the title of a bedtime story that Calvin’s parents read to him in a couple of strips. No details as to the story, but I think I recall Calvin’s mom telling his dad how cute he looks doing the Happy Hamster Hop.

    Calvin is six years old and has to write a book report. He must’ve skipped a few grades.

    For most 1st graders just writing what they read all needed.. Unless the librarian has a list of questions for the readers of the book.

    I always wait until the last minute as well. I work best under pressure. But..in Calvin’s case, the pressure is now on dad.

    Besides the “Classics Illustrated,” I read MAD magazine and got a lot of good poems (along with some bizarre illustrations) out of it for English class when I was too lazy to go to the library.

    Now the kids use Cliff”s Notes online and don’t read it at all. The only problem is that we teachers know it, and ask specific questions not covered…

    Linda Arney,

    Good for you, and all the other teachers doing this! When I was in school (back when we had to bring fuel to fire up the pot belled stove - in the 50’s and 60’s ;-) ) I could remember books well, and never had the problem of last minute reading. But, boy! was last minute writing a problem!

    Classics Illustrated? You infants. I remember True Comics (same publisher as Parents Magazine, non-fiction, mid to late 1940s)

    Hi Linda Arney:

    When I was in high school decades ago, my English teacher assigned a book which most of us skimmed through. The third question on the quiz was “How many pairs of socks did the mother knit for her son when he went away to war (Civil) and what color were they?” I never skimmed again in his class and neither did anyone else!

    Uh-oh … this is not likely to end well.

    And personally, I’d LOVE to see the return of “Hamster Huey and the Gooey Kablooey”. Ha–that title still makes me smile every time I hear it.

    The Classics Illustrate version of Moby Dick covered the basic story pretty well. Most of the rest of the real Moby Dick was basically how-to-be-a-whaler. Call me Fishmeal.

    You forgot history of whale, history of whaling were in there, too. Someone was getting paid by the word. Ditto, Count of Monte Cristo.

    My book reports were a compilation of reading the notes on the book jacket and occasional references taken at random from the book itself. Being an ACOA I had other, in many respects overwhelming, matters to deal with in my household.

    Wow. I thought Calvin couldn’t get any dumbererer when he had Hobbes do his homework. He just hit an all time low.

    Nice one calvin, you blew your cover. Now, I bet, you’ll have to read the book and that would be nightmare.
