Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 15, 2023

Calvin could either be somewhere better or worse without Hobbes.

I can’t think of a wiser way for Calvin to use his time.

Well, considering what the first three letters of assignment are…

Let’s see if he can find the Sugar Bombs beanie and fly away.

A new way to waste time, instead of doing homework!!!

Can’t wait to see what these “thinking caps” look like. Probably very similar to pirate hats, but we’ll see….

I’d be worried about Calvin’s parents. He might have taken their wallets instead of just doing the assignment!

Sane.

To cap it all, another time waste……

I wonder why Calvin hasn’t made Hobbes write his paper for him. Man, I’d love to hear Hobbes’ essay telling the truth about his “master”!!

I hear stupendous man coming

When you’re six, homework assignments are over-rated. Unless Susie is present.

That’s just a theory, Hobbes. With an exceedingly low probability of proving true.

Hobbes, ever the realist.

thinking caps…caps to help you think or a limit on how much to think?

Cal works on impulse. Anything he feels like doing at the moment is good.

Break out the tin foil Calvin!

Sounds like Calvin is headed to get the aluminum foil or a colander.

The Count hopes it is a funnel that hops around and shoots steam and does a train whistle like the one Tom Terrific had! That was cool beans! Long Live Manfred the Wonder Dog, boy howdy! Dilly! Dilly!

Why work on assigned chores when distractions are so much fun? (not that I would ever do that %)

If Calvin put as much thought and energy into doing his assignments as he does avoiding them, he’d be at the top of the school’s honors list.

Hobbes is a good friend, ensuring Calvin’s time isn’t squandered!

Debate: Is using a thinking cap to do homework cheating ?

Ah! Edward DeBono’s Six Thinking Hats! Great book that I read in the 80’s! Highly recommended! Wikipedia article: “Six Thinking Hats”

You gotta love how literal Calvin takes some things. And without Hobbes, Calvin would practically be without a conscience!

If I wanted a thinking cap, I’d just let my cat sit on my head all day.

Dad’s sun bathing cap is in for a pleasant surprise. Who gets to wear will form the argument between Calvin and Hobbes.

Don’t get them confused with dunce caps, Calvin

Gotta love Hobbes… Sad to think Hobbes will end up in the attic as Calvin grows older.

Will the thinking cap have tiny propeller blades on it?

The ultimate thing cap belongs to old cartoon character “Tom Terrific”. Looks like a large metal upside down funnel on his head.

Calvin’s paper should be about the pros and cons of doing the assignment. Maybe he’ll get credit for being meta.

Saner?
