Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 23, 2022

Best d@mn hamburger slinger in all of Ohio

Or maybe do work that involves gross stuff? Like a plumber or garbage man? Maybe be a health inspector and hope that you’ll find gross stuff?

Rots of ruck!

There is always national politics.

It is easy to be better than most politicians at running the country, but worse at getting elected.

Politics it is then.

Or estimating election outcomes

Another strip which shows that Hobbes understands Calvin better than Calvin understands himself.

Try journalism

He could be a better lazy bum than Andy Capp!!

And without a wife to support him!!

There are plenty of openings in politics, the competition for being worse than everyone else is pretty fierce though.

Nobody has mentioned weather forecasting. Or … baseball (where a 35% success rate is considered wonderful.)

So, politics it is then.

Congress!!

“Where everyone is worse than I [am].”

My jobs were made more fun and interesting by drilling down to learn as much as possible about all aspects of the work and taking on projects which technically weren’t part of the job.

politics would be the obvious answer.

So, weatherman?

;-))

Dreams of grandeur. ….until he gets in the real world…a boy can dream, can’t he?

Sooo, crime? Speaking of which, what ever happened to that bare foot bandit guy?

“It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.” – Mark Twain.

Hooray! They didn’t go off the ledge today!

Science fiction writer.

politics?

He wants to be the big fish in a little pond.

Really this is just a restatement of Daniel Webster’s “There is always room at the top.” You may be very good at a thing or not so much, but so long as you’re better at it than others it doesn’t matter how crowded the field is.

Try Leadership. That’s something no one on earth is good at right now

So Calvin’s going to be a voter? I mean, all those crooked politicians couldn’t get into office without ’em!

Love Hobbes – the voice of reason and reality in Calvins’ make-believe world.

Try for “long-running comic strip based on the adventures of one six-year-old boy” profession. :)

“Yeah, it just might, at th… Hey, wait a minute!”

Seems very possible.

Ah, going into politics I see.

my experience with many students was they’d go through all kinds of effort to avoid “work” or even worse “thinking”

Ah! Government work! Great idea.

He’ll join the “Church” of scientology.

OMG GOCOMICS HAS CALVIN AND HOBBES TOO IVE ONLY READ 3 STRIPS AND I LOVE IT

In short, The Peter Principal. In an organization, a person rises to his level of incompetence.For this to work, however, everyone “under” him must be less competent. This also includes Vice-Presidents.

Politics is the obvious answer

Didn’t work for TFG…

I’m glad Mr Watterson chose cartooning. There’s none better.

Elections are only a few weeks away. Too late to file THIS time but there’s 2024…always room for one more reprobate in D.C.

Politician?

How many commenters are going to suggest politics as if they’re the first one to think of it?
