Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 29, 2020

But with the weird clothes come the parties and groupies.

According with Calvin Vincent Van Gogh and Giovanni Segantini should be jerks .

Call it Pathetic Art!

A C-? I’m surprised it wasn’t a lower grade.

I suspect Calvin’s art is superior to Thomas Kinkade’s.

I don’t remember being graded for art.

I wonder if Andy Warhol got a C- in art during elementary school?

You’ll never get anyone to buy art that disgusts them…unless its a gift for an in-law or other worst enemy.

I like the bucolic, undigested if you please. And the silly clothes sort of come naturally.

In my city adults have been paid big bucks for “art works” that would cause teachers to call in the headshrinkers if a kid turned them in as art projects.

Is the art any better if you know the creator did it as a scathing commentary on the lack of accountability?

Yes, yes, Calvin does have to wears clothes.

C-!?! Oh, Calvin, we’re so proud of you!

He does have a very high opinion of himself….

Art is all subjective; that’s the problem here. Art I may love is art you may hate and vice-versa.

The key may be to get enough people to say out loud, “That is so great” then people who otherwise may not have been impressed might look at it with the preconceived notion that it’s great and agree. I don’t know, just an idea.

Oh yes, silly clothes are important.

I wouldn’t use the term “Know-nothing” if I were you, Calvin.

So naturally, I had to run a search on “hole in the ground as art”. Got quite a few hits. Here’s one.

“Don’t you then have to wear silly clothes?”

I like pre-digested, bucolic genre scenes!

Calvin in a beret?

Hey, at least you got a passing grade on it. You didn’t even get a D which is bad, but not failing.

At six years of age, Calvin is ready for a graduate seminar in aesthetics.

Apparently, Calvin needs a beret. Perhaps in a few years he can get a green one. I hear they are quite sought after. Perhaps making sand tables would satisfy his inner artist.

Predigested bucolic genre scenes? LOL

Picasso said something to the effect that Cubism was founded by people who couldn’t draw.

I want to be able to recognize whatever is on the canvas. No guessing games, please.

I f a piece of crap like a duct taped banana could draw the price it did then any thing Calvin offered up should be taken seriously. Calvin’s defense of his submission shows he pulled out a piece of his soul to create his “Stegosaur In A Spaceship”. I will also add he is the most articulate little reprobate I have ever seen. Years ago I had each of my high school students read a paragraph from a 4-6 grade reading primer. They all struggled.

Someday that boy will be famous.

A point sadly made by Charlie Hebdo

he’s got right the part about inflating its value with babble

I may not know art, but I know what I hate.

I just do not understand Calvin. If I even tried to understand him, I would just get a headache.

Wow. His vocabulary is off the charts. Bucolic (relating to the pleasant aspects of the countryside and country life)? Never even heard of that word. Gotta love Bill for helping us expand our own vocabularies. Do you think he looks up words or finds obscure synonyms to use in his strip, or that he actually knows the words and uses them in his everyday speech?

Where did Calvin learn all those BIG words????

I hope so, Hobbes!

Obviously he will not grow up to be an artist but rather a critic.

I doff my beret to you, Calvin.

He sure has a great vocabulary for a little boy that hates school…

Art is art until money is involved. Then it’s nothing but a scam.

Lots of big words for a six year old in panel 3

C- is probably the best grade Calvin ever got.

What does Miss Wormwood know, Calvin? Absolutely nothing! I would grade you a A++

I shared to my brother

The trouble with being on the edge is that someone is always willing to push you off.

How can a kid who speaks so well get such bad grades?

Art is in the eye of the beholder, and it appears the teacher beholding that Calvin ain’t no artiest.
