Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 30, 2013

Mrs Wormwood has the correct answer,every time.

Its called the Dole Office Calvin.

Read an article in the paper the other day about football program in Texas that was no longer going to give out trophy’s to kids just for coming out they would now have to earn them. What a novel concept?

Some want to learn and don’t learn anything!

Oh man, I hope he doesn’t eventually come to us with that kind of contract.

learned from any where…

Don’t worry, Calvin. Your federal government is all set to take care of you and Hobbes for the rest of your life. Just ask — they’ll point you in the right direction!

Two 30-somethings come to mind right now. And 2 of the 3 kids are going to be just like ’em…

JHC, can you retarded politicos take your crap elsewhere? Instead of understanding the strip for what it means (a subtle lesson in self-initiative), you people (always) have to spout your bile and vomit. Just stop.

You know he should have known that he’d get riped off like that. yes he should get paid for school,s t he learned something dang!!!

humor immediately morphs into an assault on education, welfare programs and government. No wonder there’s so much anger out there, people have forgotten how to laugh.

We all need to be careful not to make sweeping statements attacking today’s teachers, because there are many excellent, highly-dedicated teachers. There are many young people on GoComics who could be wonderful teachers someday, if they aren’t turned off by negative statements about the profession. Unfair, black-and-white statements can become self-fulfilling prophecies which can hurt all of us in the future. For example, we desperately need honest, ethical politicians for all of our futures, but how often do we attack all politicians, using blanket statements, in front of young people?

Calvin – Future Congressman!

Really crude, Susan.

And that’s what’s destroying our country. :/

Calvin has learned early the principle of Non-responsibility. I’m not sure how the balance shifted, but somewhere parents allowed themselves to be cowed into believing that only “experts” could properly raise children. That now has apparently morphed into something straight out of a communist manifesto: that it is the rightful JOB of the “experts” — psychologists, teachers, er, educators, the State (?) — to raise children. The parents who buy into this do less raising than cows in the field. Very convenient; you can have it all. The perfect family picture for your holiday cards and no real work, no real responsibility. Turns my stomach.

Wow, if my first grade kid is smart enough to crank out such a contract, I’d sign it.

She’s right. It won’t be her fault because she is most likely another victim of the crappy education system.

Miss Wormwood for President!

I wonder if Calvin will try to get Susie to sign one tomorrow. Haha

I wonder if Calvin will try to get Susie to sign one tomorrow. Haha

Calvin, go knock on Obama’s door, he’ll pay you. With money taken from the pockets of the honest middle class workers.

Not learning is hard work!

A liberal in training…

Hobbes,..honest ethical politician..= grand sweeping oxymoron=..sorry,shank...with all due respect.But cheers,RE

How I long for the days when politics didn’t creep into everything . . . :/

@ Hobbes

Can you name one? “Honest, ethical politician” isa double oxymoron!

Give it up already, Calvin. Not going to happen.

LOL xxx

You’re too late, bawana! The government has already bankrupted all those programs by trading freebies for votes. You’re gonna be, like the rest of us, on your own. Unless you have some fat-cat government pension like the senators…

My parents are dead @hole!

What’s with all the political comments on here recently? Jeez, I read this strip to get away from that nonsense.

Don’t worry, Calvin. We’ll ALL pay.

Too many adult Calvins in the world today, eh?

If he did not learn anything then he should be compensated for it. But there is too many Calvin’s around whiening eh!
