Peter: Man, it's too nice out to be cooped up studying "Hamlet" But I've only got a slim "A"- average going into this test. If I screw up at all, I could drop a grade. To "B" or not to "B" that is the question.

Knowing Peter, probably won’t pull off the A- still.
ABComic about 14 years ago
An A- is impressive to begin with…

^Yeah, I wouldn’t have thought it of Peter. Of course, with Jason as a brother, A- seems rather disappointing.

Peter is going to suffer the slings and and arrows of outrageous fortune unless he takes arms against this sea of troubles.

Peter remember: the play … the play’s the thing, wherein you’ll catch the GPA of the King!

If Peter needed to study to raise his grade to a “B” would have been more in character.

While I do appreciate the notion of trying to introduce a child to classic literature that they would never select on their own, you do run the risk of turning them off of reading altogether if it becomes an unpleasant chore. And while I appreciate the joke in the final panel, it would have been a bit confounding if Peter were considering the possibility that studying would allow him to RAISE his grade to a “B.” Peter, at any point in time, having an “A” in anything? That seems about as far-fetched as Tyson’s actually being concerned with their chickens’ welfare.
