Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 25, 2020

I guess Susie’s planets just collided faster.

if only it were opposite day (then there’d be no COVID-19)

If losing to a girl, as well as 25 cents, doesn’t motivate Calvin to do better, we don’t know what will.

Back when 25 cents was a big deal. Heck, still is a big deal to me.

Calvin never takes responsibility for his actions.

Something reminds me the underground scene from “The Blues Brothers” . And it’s not the first time with Calvin .

Desperation is really not a good look on you, Calvin!

Pay up and learn from experience

He sounds like Trump the day after Election Day!!!

Grasping at straws, again.

The boy has a future in D.C.

Mindless flailing is not a pretty sight.

Calvin will grow up to be a Trump voter.

The originator of alternative facts before they were known as such.

He lies, he cheats, got no nanner, is rude, got fluffbrained friends, semes to live in a parallel world, behave like a brat.. Reminds me of someone…

Cry me a river! Cry me a river!

All I hear are bunch of excuses!

Do the decent, Calvin; pay up!

Take a seat, Mr. President.

So Calvin knows all these excuses, but he doesn’t know simple arithmetic?

It’s time to pay the piper Calvin and while your at it give Susie some credit to go with her 25 cents.

Just out of curiosity, who would have won the bet if they’d BOTH gotten perfect scores? The bet was he’d get a BETTER score than her. It would never happen, but does anyone win in that case?

This has Donald Trump reasoning all over it.

I did opposite day on a 50 question T/F test. Told the teacher, but not why. The guy who sat behind me got a 2.

Denial, Anger, Bargaining…only 2 stages left to go.

Susie was gonna pass the exam for him, and she would have paid for it with her own money. And somehow some people believed him

Excuses, excuses.

Sounds like trump.

Trump’s father fled to America and then tried to return to Germany but Germany would not have him back….doubt if there is a country who would want the son!

The less you wager the more you lose when you win, but when you lose it can be spectacular.

Stop with the political commentary. It doesn’t matter who wins, you all lose. Sure, you get bragging rights for about 2 months when you find out, surprisingly, your particular choice is just as bad but in a different way.

Remember the “‘doubling’ to 35 cents” thing from a few strips ago?

Keep that in mind for tomorrow’s strip.

Calvin is experiencing a psychotic fugue…

What year was this comic written and published? Amazing how much current politics is being read into it.

Isn’t zero a perfect score too?

Pay up, or else…..

Calvin you day dreamed of action too much.

Nostradamus predicted Hitler more than 400 years in the future. But Watterson is right on the mark today.

I took a class in business math in college and the lady who sat behind me used to hate it when I’d finish a test in about 10 mins and turn it in and then take off to the break room. She’d spend the whole hour working on it, using calculator, etc. We’d both wind up with good grades but it was just the way I’d make it look so easy (and it was to me. More or less pre-algebra sort of stuff.)

But because it’s opposite day, the winner of the bet must pay the loser instead. Pay up, Cal.

This must be from Mary Trump’s book.

sounds 100% like our fearless leader

Never thought Calvin so represented Donald Trump until today’s strip.

Calvin whines way TOO much!

Sorry Calvin, but it was already Opposite Day before…https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/2018/05/31

All that ranting will never fly-pay up!

I didn’t know Calvin was a MAGA Republican.

We never know what Calvin’s last name is but I bet it’s trump.

Sounds like trump’s problem with “the ballots.”

I feel a large number of people who read this strip back in the day learned nothing from it.

Getting none right is, in a mathematical way, a perfect score.

Nope, Calvin.

Since he’s schizophrenic self-delusion should come easily to him.

‘’Boys are smarter then girls’’ they say
