Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 10, 2021

Dad can’t appreciate the peace because now he’s worried Calvin is up to something.

Homework…..a likely story.

Another new excuse: “I got smaller and the book put up a fight.”

If he’s been quiet for 20 minutes, he’s getting in trouble again!

Calvin is doing his homework seriously since he got to page 95.

Unless he started on page 94.

as if Miss Wormwood will buy this excuse

For a very Calvinesque meaning of “doing”.

Anything to get out of actually doing his homework.

I’d say he was more getting into more mischief than doing his homework, mama!

Hey, how long have you been a mother?

If Calvin is quiet, then it’s time to worry…

Calvin’s a “bookworm”.

I have a feeling this repeat is out of production order. Do kids really go back to school in the U.S. on August 10, when in our country the kids are still in summer camp? And besides even if the kid has returned to school, would their homework already be on page 95? You’d think they’d start on chapter one.

Calvin as Ant Man.

Homework?!? Mom can be so cute at times.

If only Dad knew the “effort” Calvin is putting into his homework right now!

doing his homework and getting it right, though, are two different things…

Is Calvin studying entomology?

Yeah, I seem to remember Dick and Jane taking a lot longer to read than War and Peace.

Mom how well do you know Calvin?Town I live in school starts inside this Thursday, teacher’s last week moved planning in class and working on class and planning lessons.

And mom said it like she actually believed it.

“Doing” or “stalling?”

Mom can’t read between the lines.

My mom’s mom passed away last week. :-(

A little training to Hobbes could have gaken care of the home work. And the little insect could continue to wander in his own world.

Quiet Calvin? Never a good sign

Oh yeah? Better check out his work.

Don’t trust the quietness!
