Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 13, 2019

I don’t think Mrs. Wormwood is going to accept that as an excuse.

That’s why you came up with this situation, Calvin.

Mrs Wormwood to Calvin “That is a lucid, intelligent, well thought-out excuse but…….”

Or you could wait for mom or dad to grab you and snap you out of this “situation” you’re in, Calvin….but that’s probably just me.

Look how optimistic Calvin is !!! Looks for the silver lining in the darkest of clouds. Smiling away to glory in the last panel :D

Maybe the homework could also be affected by gravity.

You have a great look of personal satisfaction and accomplishment but it will come crashing down when you hit the floor.

You’re going to have quite a time trying to get to school, too.

To every dark cloud, there is a silver lining.

Wait till your Mum sees the footprints on the ceiling, then you really will be sky high….

LOL! There’s always a bright side to everything!

Everything in Calvin’s world is downside up.

Every dark cloud has a silver lining

The sky’s the limit for Calvin… in this case the ceiling.

Pluses and minuses to everything, I guess.

Did someone Reverse the Polarity of the Neutron Flow?

Calvin actually doesnt need to doo his homework. If he even manages to get outside at all he would float up like a balloon

I had to flip this to give it the same perspective as the other ones in this arc.

Always Try to look for the Positive Side, Calvin. :-)

When I was a kid, many, many years ago, we used to walk around holding a mirror flat in front of us and try not to trip over the doorways, light fixtures, etc.

Calvin’s mind didn’t really think things through. He can’t sleep in his bed, and he can’t eat or drink. All he can think about is the immediate thing he’s trying to avoid.

And the dawn breaks!

Bingo!

Where’s Hobbes? He’ll bring Calvin down to earth again.

Why tf does a first grader have homework? As a former teacher I say that’s ridiculous

You can’t fool us, Watterson. We know you’re rotating the frame around Calvin!

The moment he realizes this is a blessing and not a curse.

Wait until mom walks in. . . .

How is he going to convince his mother of the gravity of the situation?

And another failing homework grade coming right up Calvin…

Oh, I know THAT grin.

No good acomin’ and plenty!

A ridiculous excuse is better than no excuse…

It’s the best excuse in Calvin And Hobbes history!

He sure looks pleased!
