Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 04, 2022

Time to check for Aspergers

Happiest he’s ever been in school.

You also need to pay attention to become a spy, Calvin. So…not happening.

Sure y’are, Calvin, at knowing what’s happening.

You’ll never break under interrogation anyway.

hahahahaha

You would think Miss Wormwood would be a little happy that Calvin isn’t being his usual self. Causing trouble.

That condition will follow him to his grave!!!

Perception is your middle name, Calvin.

As usual, Cal’s mind is somewhere off planet.

At least kids need smartphones and wireless earbuds nowadays to be in the kind of state that Calvin is in. Yay, I guess.

But at least he has a happy face.

Its called being a boy….this generation has to label anything masculine as a “condition”

It’s kinda sad to know that Miss Wormwood and the principal are long ago passed away.

just need to not get so distracted.

Notice that both teacher and principal are a couple of old fossils.

Maybe it’s time for fresh blood at that school—you know, from the 21st century!!

Now if only he were wearing a shirt that has “Have a Nice Day” on it!

LOL!

Captain Oblivious had a good day at school.

Situational awareness is not only about knowing what’s going on around you. It’s also about knowing what you can ignore.

EARTH to CALVIN!!!

Wow.. Calvin’s Day Dreams are amazingly real.

Smile and everyone will wonder what you’re up to.

I used to play “I spy” with my nephews. Apparently, word got out. One day, a black van with shaded windows, a little revolving antenna on top, and two very serious men in sunglasses and dark suits, parked across the street from my house. They studiously ignored me every time I passed them on my morning walk. I’d tap on the window and cheerfully ask, “Everything all right in there?” Eventually, they went away.

The whole day, Zoom, right over his head.

Miss Wormwood must have an incredibly short fuse since Calvin is not disrupting the class

Calvin isn’t even on Earth now. He will probably spend 16 years in grade school trying to become a spy or something.

Calvin’s expression is the same in all four frames.

In the second panel, I know what that anticipation was like in the days before online tracking of packages. But at least I’d still pay attention in class!

Does Calvin have a reserved seat in the principal’s office with his name on it? Like Tim The Tool Man has a reserved space at the Emergency Room?

Gee, I often got barked at for zoning out in elementary school, but I never went to the principal just for that.

How old is Mrs. Crankshaft? 95?

Call him “Catatonic Cal”.

Sure you are.

Don’t talk, no matter how much they torture you.

Situational awareness is low…

Calvin has a fantastic control of his auditory senses. My late grandmother had to switch off her hearing aid to ignore conversations.

Between this strip and yesterday’s, I don’t think espionage is the right career path for Calvin.

He does not know….
