    Mrs. Wormwood will be shocked when Calvin shows up with his homework done.

    Remember Calvin (in the words of your father), “suffering builds character”. ;D

    Geez, Mum let the “didn’t like dinner” line slide. I know a few Mums who would’ve launched into a “When I was a kid, I was lucky to have a boiled rock for dinner” or “Consider those starving in ________” guilt trip!

    Just go outside and play with Hobbes. You can play Calvinball, throw water balloons at Susie, start your G.R.O.S.S club. There are many things to do..

    At least they found an upside to having no TV.

    The third frame always pops into my head whenever I have a stunning and disappointing realization.

    How could someone be so cruel as to steal a television set?

    You “didn’t like it very much”? Calvin needs to learn about gratitude.

    I suppose you might as well do what you should do, when you can’t do what you want to. Phooey!

    Now Calvin goes for the honesty and rationality maneuver…

    When you have everything taken away from you, you come to realize that all we have is ourselves and each other. It’s the only thing that truly matters.

    Maybe they should consider not replacing the TV if it means he’ll actually finish his dinner and do his homework every night.

    This is still the 80s. Calvin may watch a lot of TV, but he’s not always staring at a smart phone or tablet, he actually reads the occasional book (or comic book), and he can put himself in a fantasy world with whatever props he has on hand. He should be able to handle this better than many kids today.

    Don’t worry, Calvin. You’ll get a new TV soon.

    (We just won’t ever see you get it in the strip…)

    Standard one percent deductible…. no money for both the TV AND tiger chow.

    It bears repeating for the umpteenth time: Watterson is a GREAT artist! Love Calvin’s expressions in Panels 3 and 4.

    What’s wrong with asparagus? I love it but then I am grown. (Allegedly)

    You could use this as an opportunity to unplug. I threw out my TV over a decade ago and haven’t looked back.

    Love that “poof!” above Calvin’s head in the third panel! I picture this sound effect accompanying it… https://soundeffects.fandom.com/wiki/DISNEY_POOF_SOUND

    Panel 3 … One of the most classic “reaction” captures ever (disappointment, shock, sadness, etc. etc. etc. all at once).

    My mother-in-law (RIP) recalled that as a little girl she was always told about the starving children in Armenia.

    That’s want is expected by a parent from the child. Stolen TV seems a boon to the parents.

    He handles adversity by doing what he should do, and you’re complaining?
