Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 31, 2020

Draw a bunch of dinosaurs doing addition problems.

doodle on your own time, Calvin, but not during math time (try history time)

Calvin has a different class schedule .

The little troll just doesn’t get it!!!

That will do it :)

Also brings to mind Eminem’s White America lyrics “let’s do the maths”

Math is Racist, they say.

You could try posing for art, Calvin. You look like a young version of The Scream in the second panel.

Old people have defined a lot of channels that the young have to be beaten into shape to fit.

You can use math for dinosaurs, too!You can calculate when did they live, how long and since when they do not exist any more!

If you draw seven dinosaurs and in your next picture two get hit by a meteor then how many…

Math objective and lesson time met, Miss Wormwood!

“We don’t need no, education, we don’t need no, thought control” ~ The Wall ~ Pink Floyd….

Going back to my elementary school days (l-o-o-o-ng ago) — We’d get an assignment to do so many problems on page xxx. I’d do 2 or 3, then put the math book away and pull out my “Reader”.

ROFL! Now the truth comes out!

Mathematically trained dinosaurs are a threat to all of humanity.

You’re going to need math if you’re going to count the millions you think you’re going to get, Calvin!

I wonder if Einstein ever painted a picture? Not say that he couldn’t. Just wondering if he ever let is inner artist rage. Somehow, I doubt it.

So is life!

There is a time and a place for everything. Maybe you should try robots playing sports.

Ahhh, the ‘fine print’ of the story!

Had this issue with my reading of comic books during study time. Nun-related censorship.

I would draw in class anytime I could get away with it. Calvin needs to be a bit sneakier.

Wait – I can’t believe I just said that !

So Calvin lives in Portland?

I used to take notes in my Spanish class in the form of cat doodles. The teacher thought I wasn’t paying attention. Each week a student (this was in a community college) had to make a teaching presentation to the class. I did mine on the blackboard with cats speaking in Spanish word balloons. He didn’t bother me after that.

Ah, now the details come out…

Doctor Who actually had an episode with dinosaurs on spaceships! Part of the Matt Smith years.

Panel 3 is the last four years in a nutshell.

Now you’re making sense….

OK. I’m making squelched my official Word of the Day. Fun to say.

Teacher must work for Facebook or Twitter

In art school, one of the ways to get noticed on a comical poster was blame “society” for not liking or buying your art.
