Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 27, 2019

Scientific name for lint: cottonus domesticus

Calvin will never get any grade plus.

A “D”. Surely your expectations are higher than that, Calvin.

some entomologist you’ll ever be, Calvin

“for all this work”? HA-HA !

You won’t get a D, but you will get an ulcer by the time you’re 10.

Calvin think big

Participation Trophy for Calvin!

Full marks for optimism!

Susie hangs around Calvin both for his entertainment value and for the warm sense of superiority he gives her…

It would be wiser to say “I forgot to do it” than to put that in an envelope and hand it in.

Calvin, just tell Miss Wormwood that you and Susie did the project together. You collected the bugs, Susie labeled them. There’s no reason for you to get in trouble alone.

I’m sure with a little imagination…..

I’d given him an F- if I’m were the teacher

Calvin might be the first person to get a “G” on a project!

I can’t wait to see tomorrow’s strip.

“D” for Dunce that is.

“My tiger ate it.”

I wonder if it is possible for you to get a Z.

Calvin, stick your tongue on the flagpole. That will distract everyone while your good friend Moe collects more bugs for you.

One of the things that intrigues me about Calvin is the dichotomy of his innate intelligence and his foolishness. His vocabulary is truly impressive for a six year old and he has a tremendously creative imagination, and yet he does the dumbest things and behaves most foolishly.

Our newspaper just published the inspection reports for our local restaurants. I could give Calvin the list. In fact, just one restaurant would get him at least a B+.

Careful what you wish for Calvin, that “D” could very well stand for “Detention”.

I love Susie. She always has one more thing!

This is going to bug you for a while, Cal!

The only thing I hated more than school was homework. I think Calvin spent too much energy on this

Don’t worry, Calvin. With grade inflation in the U.S. these days, you’ll get an A. That way the teacher will get good reviews from the students to keep her job and the parents won’t complain.

“F” is for fantastic.

I know Calvin’s feeling. I did this to myself back in the summer of middle school. Waited until the last week of summer vacation. I had a lot of dead flies in my collection.

The strip after the current arc (spoilers):

Everyone who connects every strip together:

“Calvin, you’re in enough trouble already after that insect collection fiasco, do you really want this on your head too?”

Is an F- a hopeless failure?

HEY CAL, YOU BETTER GET THERE QUICK BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE: https://bgr.com/2019/03/26/largest-t-rex-fossil-specimen-discovery/?fbclid=IwAR04R7RHxQZHAnzjgyx-D__Vcp4dQzHv15lYOHfG6OQR31A14YghAUkiPAo

In today’s world, Calvin would be plumping to be a Youtube star.

ah, the learning experience

What happened to Calvin’s lunch box?
