Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 05, 2019

I asked my nephew if he had any homework to do. He said, “I do not have any homework that is due tomorrow.” My reply was: So what you mean is that you have homework due later this week, but like any good (our family name) you are going to wait until the absolute last moment to do it.

His response to my reply was: I cannot think of better words to describe it.

“The school will tell Sarah, and Sarah will tell Mom, and Mom will tell Dad, and Dad will just sit there and watch TV!”

Considering what we saw of that “insect collection”, a D – - is a pretty high grade. Miss Wormwood must like him.

Hobbes, don’t try to make Calvin learn from experience.

“My what?” that’s why we love Calvin

Calvin just gets in trouble without even trying.

Calvin’s model is live for today, the future will take care of itself.

You’re a good friend Hobbes! Seriously, how did Calvin get a D- for his insect project?!

At least it’s not an F+.

Why not just send a note home about projects due with a return requested that requires one of his parent’s signature on it. Wait, then we wouldn’t have half way funny cartoons would we!

Calvin must be thankful, when his only friend, Hobbes, doesn’t leave him!!

Don’t go spoiling the “moment”, Hobbes! :)

Calvin must be part Egyptian. He’s CONSTANTLY in Denial!

And this is why Miss Wormwood keeps that Costco-sized bottle of Maalox in her desk drawer…

In hot water all day and they’ll still make him take a bath.

I hope you didn’t bet too much on that, Hobbes!

At least with all that hot water, Calvin won’t need a bath tonight.

I read a lot when I was a kid. I went to Catholic School. I did not read approved books so I could not write book reports on them. So I had to cheat my book reports like everyone else did. Wonder why I’m an atheist?

Details, details.

Don’t get too excited, everyone. We won’t be seeing that book report.

Life ruins all the fun.

Calvin is like a puppy with a short attention span.

Calvin could probably write a book about all his trials and tribulations…….

Lol

Haven’t blurted out a laugh in ages. Thanks BW!

I’d say that this comic followed the Seinfeld rule of “no hugging, no learning,” but Calvin and Hobbes do hug sometimes.

“My what?” LOL!

No bath tonight, yeaaa!

Out of the frying pan, into the fire!

Miss Wormwood wants the little hellion to move on to bother some other poor teacher.

Does this mean Dad actually has a backbone and disciplined Calvin? So unlike comic strip dads

That’s my son! A real piece fun. But I love him!

I’ve never seen a double minus grade. Seems to me the grade he got was no different fr an F. And for that book report, Calvin? Just find a book with a synopsis in a dust jacket and then re-word it so it looks like it was written by a kid your age!

Between the lousy project and all that ensued, I maintain that “D-” is FAR too generous a grade.

Who is this guy, Horrid Henry’s ancestor

Whe I was younger I got into the habit of not finishing the day’s assignments. Then one day getting home from school my Mom wore me out. She then said “If you fail to finish your assignments your teacher will call me. If you want a ‘licken everyday then I’ll be glad to give you one.” Suddenly, my assignments were finished on time. Of course that was way before CPS.
