Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 18, 2018

Calvin feels completely mislead by the orange crayon.

I just realized the joke in the last panel.

The principal knows Calvin’s art style because Calvin’s been sent to the principal’s office before for drawing grotesque artwork.

Art just isn’t for everyone.

Try the purple crayon, Calvin.

does anyone know of any historical, well-gifted six-year-olds that can draw extremely well?

Comics like this one make me more sure that Calvin is a certified schizophrenic. :) (y)

Ah, getting sent to the principals office for being the weird kid and traumatizing them. Memories!

Do you think I could play this pretty good myself?!

I don’t know about tigers, but most cats eat the head first. Cats need taurine (they are unable to make it themselves) and brains are full of taurine. So it should be headless bodies laying around…

Wasn’t there an episode of the Simpsons where they discovered Homer had shoved crayons up his nose as a kid, they got lodged in his brain, and when they were removed he was suddenly a genius?

Maybe Hobbes drew it Calvin, but it was your idea.

So what happened to the other kids that didn’t have pets?

Happy 33rd anniversary for Calvin and Hobbes everyone! Thank you so much Bill Waterson for this amazing comic strip!

Fine, you didn’t draw it, someone else did. So how long have you been cheating on your homework?

LIFE HACK. Human heads make any creative work into fine art.

Sigh, another day, another rerun…Why no new comics?

How to get a head in art class.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Unless a tiger bit your head off; then you don’t have any beauty.

Happy Anniversary Calvin and Hobbes. Started Today, 1985.

I think Calvin should be allowed to take his case to an arbitration committee or panel.

First of all, what a lousy assignment. Lots of kids have no pets. Second, how disheartening that even in the ’80s, kids could get sent to the principal for something as benign as a drawing.

Green is the color of envy, Calvin.

Reminds me of the time in art class I had some extra clay. I made a guillotine with a body and a separate head. I read about them recently and thought it was interesting, Later, as an adult, my Mom tells me she was called to school to discuss my art work. She said it took her a while to convince them it was nothing to worry about and did not need counseling. All they had to do was ask me, and I would have explained it.

Wow. Only in today’s environment could that land Calvin in the principal’s office. Offensensitivity, anyone?

The art class is one which I cherish.

Schools suck
