Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 23, 2018

Excellent, now for question three

Question 2 must have been “What is something you should not say to a friend?”

Does anyone ever wonder why Calvin never made it to the second grade?

Calvin is left handed?

Susie learns quickly but not that quickly; her first answer should have been NO!

As time passes, Susie will be less gullible:

Proof that Calvin actually is a genius.

You gotta be smoother than that, Cal. Jump around a little on the questions. Pick out the hard ones.

I was a bit of a Susie. In class, we received a puzzle with squares and since I was good at that all the people around me asked the answer. I gave the wrong answer so I could give the right answer out loud. The teacher saw it and got a giggle out of it.

Perhaps Calvin is ambidextrous.

You’ve got to up your game, Calvin. She saw through that one too easily!

I once copied the guy’s homework next to me, even the NAME! I didn’t do well in school.

And she didn’t see that coming right from question 1?

She.. should have played along and asked him what his answer is / was.. Then just agreed or not.. but not give him her answers.. make him squirm a bit.

Susie should give the wrong answer to each question.

Educashion is ovverrated.

The answer to question two is “mongoose.”

I love BW’s little details like how Calvin is left-handed.

Nice try, Calvin.

Usually Susie catches on to Calvin’s schemes a lot quicker.

Well, at LEAST susie knew what he was trying to do! I mean I would just say the wrong answer-OR I would be like Calvin and and not have the assignment done!

When he tries this again she gets him another way.

Now all’s Calvin has to do is figure out how Drop Dead is expressed as a number.

“OK, D-r-o-p d-e-d C-a. Hey!”
