Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 15, 2017

When will Miss Wormwood give an assignment involving aliens? Calvin would SURELY pass that!

Note Calvin sitting at the front. Our teachers always arranged the “seating plan” according to our marks, starting with the lowest mark front and center

Well of course he didn’t read the assignment. If he had, then the Zontars might have been able to drag the information out of him.

Ignorance is bliss

… at least until the report card comes.

Oh, you had Mrs. Southwick too!

Calvin has a really good fantasy life about all the aliens and himself being the hero

I love how Spiff’s goggles change shape.

They change in response to different light levels—like those glasses that become sunglasses when you walk outside ! ! !

Spiff is my favorite comic in C&H.

Wrong Spaceman Spiff! That’s Twisted Space Crustacean Mutant Cephalopod (note the tentacles) to you! HA!

What a coincidence. I started watching Ken Burns’ documentary on the Corps of Discovery just last night. Better start taking notes.

What’s a Zontar?

I don’t know how many times I’ve read this one and I still fell out of the chair laughing

I sometimes think Calvin believes his teacher really is a space alien.

You can’t Tell what you don’t Know!!

Forget about boring old schoolwork. An imagination like that is what will make Calvin go far.

…Into outta space.

Will our intrepid space traveller make his escape from the hideous Zorgs from planet X-13? Tune in tomorrow for another exciting episode of Spaceman Spiff…

Hey spaceman spiff got off easy; today’s topic would have been Lewis and clarks colonization of North America and the displacement of the indigenous peoples. Haha cerebral political joke; C&H internet referee’s can bite me

Lewis & Clark….first grade?
