Teachers in training are taught that sending kids to the Principal is a VERY LAST RESORT, and don’t do it quite as lightly as Wormwood and the likes. But it is really gross how she drinks straight from the Maalox bottle.
kreole said,Calvin takes control…of the ‘principal’ by losing control of his ‘faculties’. He is spaced out. It must be the principle of the thing, or lack thereof.
It’s the people like Calvin who can so easily slip into their daydreams who actually run the world. When he grows up, he will be the Steve Jobs of his day. Considering the age of the strip, he probably IS Steve Jobs.
With Calvin, it doesn’t appear to be anything approximating positive daydreams, but more like psychosis. He’s being hooked instead of getting off the hook.
Not even 5 seconds after a stern(?) talking to for his latest trip to see the principal can Calvin learn to control himself and his (sometimes) trouble-making imagination! What on earth is wrong with that boy anyhow?!?!?
LOVE the glasses on Spittle Zorg (and, has ribbie149 been snippy again, fran & apersonof interest? I don’t see any of his comments today, were they removed?)
Hobbes (as far as I know) Has only gone to school with Calvin three times, why so few? Because Calvin once asked him under the desk, "What’s 7+7? Hobbes reply: “77”

The games have only just begun. I’m sure Spittle’s got an idea of his own.
Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠!

Susie’s acute angle (in panel 2), being polite, has worked. She may return to class without a blemish on her record.Calvin, however…

And still no sign of Hobbes… probably chasing the girls again instead of coming to Calvin’s aid.

Calvin doesn’t pay attention even when he’s getting in trouble for not paying attention.

Because of encouragement from family and school, Timmy Leary’s solution was unnecessary.

Spaceman Spiff can come to Calvins aid in real tough situations,but he sure should butt out here.

Calvin is preoccupied.
khpage over 13 years ago
In moments of extreme stress, Calvin resorts to living in fantasy in his mind. Is there a psychiatric name for this response?
