Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 07, 2013

I guess, Dad doesn’t want a blissful life.

Is this what is meant my “Ignorance is Bliss”?

It must be room for some days to walk, to swim and have fun. After it, studying goes better again!

All work and no play…

Goofing around? You’re just learning how to drive a bus!

Today, ignorance is more than a quality-of-life issue. In order to believe the news media and enjoy what passes for entertainment of TV, it’s practically a virtue. (Man, talk about a comic strip that was 25 years ahead of its time…)

God created all the wonderful plants, flowers, trees, animals, meadows, mountains, lakes and much more and than he wanted someone to see, what fine things he had made, so he created humans. – But how shall we God prais, when we never can see, what he had done! So we need breaks to go out and see all precious things he had created, when we come back, we will prais him much more and eagerly!

I forgot to include Dad in the list of wowsers yesterday….

@ Kate the Great. Sadly, all too true!

It looks like both Calvin’s conversation with Hobbes and his education are going downhill.

Click here: Red and Rover (January 6, 2012)

A recurring theme in Peanuts, over a lot of years with a lot of different characters:Click here: Peanuts (September 5, 1953)Click here: Peanuts (July 8, 1964)Click here: Peanuts (December 27, 1967)Click here: Peanuts (May 8, 1972)

Problem is, Calvin is all play and no work.

“It’s knowing that’s gotten the world in trouble.”

No, it is selfishness, fear, and a systemic lack of compassion.

LOL LOL… If Dad were to hear then you would end up with a crimson bottom!When I failed a few exams (because of pressure) I didn’t really mind either.xxx

I have sons that did not like to spend time in school in the early years,Like me,but after about grade 7 they got real down to study boy they did ok.

Ode to Omnius; (git in the gear of G, boys)“If ignorance waz bliss, I’d be the nation’s biggest blister!”Tea, anyone?

One way to flunk a test: just say “I don’t know” to every single question, which may basically be true anyway. (LOL!)

It is a good thing he likes being outside, because he will be living on the street when he is an adult.

Calvin will soon have three solid months to spend without a single test to flunk!

He has committed a sin.He must be punished!!!!!!!

first thing, one learns freshman year of college, forget everything that you learned in high school.

@TrulyEpic0914: See the end of the June 5 comments. I left you a reply there but you didn’t see it.

Oh no, demented unhinged troll…

If ignorance was truly bliss, you must be absolutely ecstatic.

Do us all a favor and crawl back under your rock of hate and spitefulness.

@Tacopielvr: Red and Rover is a great strip, and sometimes the Sunday strips have wonderful artwork. I am amazed at some of the originality, given that it comes after Peanuts and Calvin and Hobbes, which have already “used up” so many ideas that would apply to a boy and his dog, where the dog is also his best friend.
