Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 12, 2019

I see a Nobel Prize for Physics in Calvin’s future.

And he doesn’t know 3+5???

Are you sure that ceiling is a load-bearing structure?

Just think Calvin you are the first of many that will follow you into the world of The Upside Down. To get out you will have to think hard and make your nose bleed.

Here’s the difference, Calvin: Cirrus clouds, they’re real.

Remember that cartoon where the mice nailed all the furniture to the ceiling and convinced the cat he was in a position like Calvin?

Cirrus clouds are interesting, too.

One of the things I did better than Calvin was learn to enjoy school. Mostly.

Don’t go outside.

Living in a comic strip with speech balloons must be interesting. Luckily Calvin is still speaking right side up, which will help him communicate with others. It’s kind of tricky, because from his new perspective he has to speak upside down.

For a different example of upside-down comic characters, GoComics has a truly incredible Sunday strip from the early 1900s:

Look on the bright side Calvin, maybe your mom might make an upside down cake for you with a lot of chocolate icing .

Is this a reverie to get out of his homework?

Maybe Calvin was the inspiration to Lionel Richie’s song: “Dancing on the Ceiling.”

What’s cloudy is your imagination, Calvin, cirrus-ly speaking.

Calvin, you reversed polarity? To recognise that, you must be reading something besides comic books!

They can’t teach comic strip science in school, Calvin.

Gravity is over rated and Calvin just proved it.

Calvin should win the Nobel prize for that discovered…

I see that the comment just before this one is almost identical to the first comment.

“Oh, what a feeling when we’re dancing on the ceiling!”

Calvin, if you want to learn about this personal gravity reversal in a ‘science class’, enroll in Trump University.

Personal gravity was something that my science class didn’t cover either. Nor even cirrus clouds. But cumulo-nimbus…

Heh, isn’t cirrus clouds kind of an advanced topic for first grade? Now if it were cumulonimbus clouds, then Calvin might be interested!

He defies his parents,and gravity ;)

Gravity is an urban myth.

If only Calvin could get his feet out of the clouds…

Didn’t the Joker, years ago in a Batman comic, have an upside down hideout?

I read a short sci-fi story about a guy who was struck by lightning and had this happen to him.He became a travelling exhibit until some wacko cut the rope because he didn’t believe what was happening was real…

Well your not old enough and corrupted enough to be Full of Hot Air which would make you rise so I’m not too sure as to Why you are up there. :-}

We all know this latest ‘stunt’ will justify not studying or doing homework.

Scoot over to a window and maybe you can experience cirrus clouds on their own level

gravity is a mutually attractive force, not a polarized one like magnetism.

For Calvin, it’s just an excuse. “My personal gravity reversed and I couldn’t get to my desk to finish my homework.”

Don’t go outside in your current state Calvin – you might get to meet a Cirrus cloud. On second thought, a long walk outside might do you good.
