Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 14, 2024

Sleep well, Calvin.

If Calvin was given the rest of his life to do his homework, he still wouldn’t do it.

Enjoy your big fat F, Calvin!

Aaah the post procrastination guilt realisation.

Boy, it sure can!

Miss Wormwood will find it delightful to give you that F tomorrow.

“Live and don’t learn” as a famous cartoon character once said.

The little cretin is already working on an excuse for the teacher!!!

My tiger ate my homework.

Quintessential Calvin!

Um, why is Hobbes’ nose on the back of his head? Or is he wearing a blindfold?

Maybe Dad will make that pot of coffee for you now.

Should’ve conjugated his Latin, at least…

They say gambling addicts actually play to lose. Calvin studies to fail.

Amen to that, Cal. I know it well.

What’s the issue? The answer to every math problem is 42.

Happy pi day to all of you!

Calvin will make a fine Congressman someday. I can see him trying to pass a budget.

We can all relate to that Calvin

Dead boy walking! Dead boy walking on the green mile!

And it’s too late baby now, it’s too late

Though we really did try to make it

Something inside has died, and I can’t hide it

And I just can’t fake it

Oh, no, no, no (no, no, no)

Calvin should sneak downstairs again, get his homework, and come back upstairs and do it in bed. That way, his parents won’t find out

Calvin has Maslow’s theory upside-down. What we want to do is supposed to be given less time, not all of it.

I never did my homework, and look at me.

There’s still time on the bus.

Said everyone at one time or another ;-)

MANY days can slip by like that. All of a sudden you are old and still not have done what you’re supposed to do. :-P

Unless procrastination is your destination.

Time flies, eh Calvin?

A second chance badly wasted. You’ll need tons of luck next day, Calvin.

It’s called delayed satisfaction, Calvin.

I can sooo relate.

LOL… No excuses now. Calvin had 2 days to do his homework…

Yep

Don’t his parents monitor his homework. After all these years of avoiding first grade assignments, they must be on to him.

Hmm I used to make sure my kids HW was done

Ben Franklin knew us very well,: “A republic, if you can keep it.”

It’s a real effort to avoid work!

Much ado about nothing to do.

He’s right.

Take it in your stride, Calvin. You have spent the whole day doing your own. There are older people dreaming to spend the day, that way.

You’d think Calvin’s conscience could’ve kicked in some time after lunch and he’d want to do the homework, instead of waiting until when getting in bed to hit.

Now that I’ve retired, I feel the same way about washing clothes, or dishes, or me.

Of course, Calvin will learn nothing from this.

Don’t his parents check up on his homework assignments?

He doesn’t have to worry about corporal punishment, so there’s no motivation

I always found grade school math to be a breeze. It wasn’t until high school that it started getting challenging. Even then I always thought it was fun. With Calvin’s imagination and inventiveness math should come easy to him too. He’s just being influenced by the negative attitudes toward math in society at large.

Which side of the bed does Hobbes normally sleep on? I keep thinking it’s the left side when you’re on the bed.

Welcome to the real world, Calvin.

The trick to procrastination is learning how long the task will really take and deciding how early you want to finish. In college I learned to write the 1000 word paper in about 4 hours including research.

Time flies when you’re wasting it. Also time wounds all heels.

I seem to do my best work at the last minute. It’s like my brain jumps into high gear when time is running out.

So true.
