Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 15, 2019

Your mom’s suspicion of how the sneaker prints got there is probably quite different from the reason you will tell her.

your mother is so going to love your excuses, Calvin, of why you’re not doing your homework

In later years his therapist will sell the book rights for a fortune…

And then she will see the ceiling and just sit down and cry.

It was Hobbes!

I can see mom wanting to put her foot somewhere…

Fred Astaire danced on the ceiling (“Royal Wedding”); fun movie…

No Calvin, she’s going to ask: WHY ARE YOU NOT DONE WITH SOMETHING SOOO SIMPLE AS YOUR HOMEWORK FROM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL YET?!"

For some reason these episodes of Calvin brings back memories of Vincent Price in the movie The Fly.

Mom’s face is going to be a picture…

If you’re still on the ceiling by that time, she probably won’t notice the shelves!

He’s really on a roll.

To paraphrase the Third Doctor, this is what you get when you reverse the polarity of the neutron flow…

OOF, thanks for the great arch Watterson!

For Calvin the more difficult the task, the more rewarding the feeling of accomplishment… unless it’s homework of course.

I definitely think there will be some small mystery in the house for years to come on how he got the foot prints on the ceiling.

This has run it’s course with me and I miss Hobbes! ;o[

This strip was originally printed in newspapers the same day Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” was released to theaters! The movie that started the Disney Renaissance.

Easy…he’s a sneaky kid.

A couple neighbor guys I know did that. One held the other so he could walk up the kitchen wall, across the ceiling, and down the opposite wall.

There is an Alice in Wonderland feeling to this story.

He seems to be rising to the occasion, so to speak.

Wait til she sees the skate tracks across her ceiling…

This looks like it would be hard to draw.
