Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 29, 2018

Hard to believe they end up together.

“Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. As a result, it’s very sensitive to cold, so we put little bits of it into thermometers.”

Susie should know by now that Calvin needs help on his half.

I once had a project partner like Calvin. Only mine was in 8th grade instead of 1st. He did zero work, and during our required presentation he contributed nothing except mugging and acting the fool. It ended our friendship.

Wow! I’d give him an A for using the word “exhaustively” at the age of six!

Looks like this is exhausting work, Calvin… better take a break and pace yourself! :)

Calvin’s half of the report coming right up!

Nice face, Calvin. I use that one on my wife when she bugs me, but I always get caught.

This whole thing could have been avoided if Susie had just pounded him. If she does it over a snowball, she should do it for this.

This looks like a mission for ‘Spaceman Spiff’

Yeah, Calvin exhausted three brain cells researching the report.

I’d like to see a grown-up Calvin dropped into some contemporary comics, just to see how he’s doing.

Lol, Calvin’s face in panel 3. :D

I thought Mercury just delivered flowers?

He’s exhausted by research—it’s far easier just to make it all up

Talk about the VERY last minute.

In his entire lifetime; has Calvin EVER turned in a report on time or passed a test?

This is going to end well. Not. (Susie and Calvin sitting in the tree………)

Linus van Pelt: Did you turn in your report?

Charlie Brown: [aghast] Yes.

Linus van Pelt: What did the teacher say about it? What grade did you get?

Charlie Brown: A D minus – the lowest grade without failing.

Linus van Pelt: Gee, I’m sorry, Charlie Brown.

Charlie Brown: The teacher said it looked like the sort of report that was written after midnight on the last day of Christmas vacation.

Linus van Pelt: What did you say?

Charlie Brown: What could I say? I congratulated her on her remarkable insight.

What happened to Spaceman Spiff’s field notes and drawings?

Calvin, you’re about to learn a valuable lesson that you should apply for the rest of your life: never take it lightly when a girl uses the term, “… Or else”

Welp, they’re dead.
