Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 08, 2022

Next thing you know, Calvin will be telling us he ran the Marathon in under 3 hours.

(Sarcastically) Geez Calvin, you’re such a jock.

I just saw a short clip from the movie, RENT, so I heard them sing Calvin’s number.

Reminds me of the Peanuts episode where Lucy was skipping rope, and when passing by a couple of people started saying, “TEN BILLION AND ONE, TEN BILLION AND TWO…”

Cal baby, you’re such a jock. ( Err.. I mean joke)

It’s called very low impact skipping. Cal gets lots of rest between jumps.

I liked this so much, when I was a child and hula hoop! Now I am 72 and tried it again, after long time but I was unable to do it again!

Eleventy-two, overly four…..

We don’t know where Calvin started. Has he actually done thirty-two skips or just two?

Maybe he should take lessons from Susie.

If Calvin did one rope skip a second, it would take nearly 27 years to reach 873 million. But don’t tell him that.

This is where scientific notation comes in handy.

Kids are so cute…their imaginations take them anywhere and they can imagine what they want….sometime they gain self esteem believing in themselves….

“ten thousand million jobs.” Heh, heh.

And it helps to feed the ego!

Once had a math teacher who offered an “A”, no other course work/tests/quizzes needed, to anyone who wanted to turn in the hand written numbers 1 thru 1,000,000 by the end of the semester. A few tried, they failed at that, too. Just saying, 873,000,000 at one jump a second would take about 64.4 years.

Calvin lives in his own special world.

Ah, Calvin’s personal “Theory of Big Numbers”.

Turn that boy loose in Vegas.

Wow, Calvin must be in great shape now!

Calvin started counting at 873,491,630. No one says you have to start at 1.

You can count on it.

It’s even easier if you use the aleph degrees of the infinite.

Reminds me of the SNL skit where Johnny Cash sang “99,999 Bottles of Beer.”

Calvin has full of inflated ego including numbers. Love you Calvin.
