Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 28, 2019

Spit and chewing gum might help.

Calvin is best at making snowmen, not sticking bugs together !

I don’t think he should use anything. He should just turn in the bugs as they are.

Just put them between two pages of paper and then glue or staple the edges. Always worked for me.

What now, Calvin? Maybe electrocute them and shout “IT’S ALIVE!”?

Thank goodness our school never asked us to do this assignment. Ugh!

Looks like Calvin will turn in a sheet of paper with pieces of bugs taped to it.

Fantastic to watch Calvin’s odds of a non-failing grade remaining non-existent. Some assignments really can’t be left ’til last minute!

;(

Just tell Miss Wormwood that all your bugs were alive and they broke free of the tape and flew and crawled off.

Calvin might have done very well on this project if he had remembered it.

This is setting up to be an epic fail, Cal!

It’s amazing how a couple of well-drawn lines makes Susie’s face so expressive.

Susie you sure are nasty today!

Seems like he should get at least a D for doing this much panic level work in such a short time. I mean really, If he turns in anything it is more than the had a couple hours ago.

You’re already in a hole Calvin. Just keep digging!!

“Miss Wormwood, may I change my seat please?”

Is this where Calvin’s classmate Jame Gumb developes a fascination with moths?

I just realized this is cruel. the school doesn’t need the collections and making each kid pin down beetles and wood ticks etc just for a grade?

There are still a few bugs in the system.

Time is running out for both Calvin and blood-sucking parasites: tick tick tick tick tick tick…….

I’m surprised he doesn’t have his own glue. It was always standard in school that you had your own bottle of glue.

You just discovered the easiest way to get a bunch of bugs: Fly paper

Calvin’s lack of shame is shameless.

I can’t remember if you could get a mark worse than “F-” … but the resolution of this strip should jog my memory.

Calvin doesn’t realize that he’s spent far more thought and energy than he would’ve by just doing the project on time in the first place.

Based on how much time we are spending on this project I am half expecting Mrs. Wormwood to announce that it is due tomorrow instead of today so Calvin might actually get it done.

Just borrow a windshield from a motorcycle, you’ll have your bugs, ready mounted.

People would be surprised how many third-year university students thought they could get away with digging other students’ broken discards out of the garbage and handing them in as theirs.
