    If Hobbes thinks it’s good, it’s probably about tigers.

    Unfortunately, Hobbes will write it in tigerscript; which Miss Wormwood can’t read.

    If Hobbes took Calvin’s place in school, he’d be the class valedictorian.

    In junior high school The Count stumbled on a book called “Plot Outlines of the 100 Greatest Novels”. True story. Used it all the way through high school. Calvin, if you’re reading this… Highly recommended and something you can Count on. ;)

    My mother did this for me once when I was in the fourth grade. I’d been assigned a book by the librarian and it was a story about a orphan girl getting adopted. Mom read it very quickly and tearfully told me the whole thing, leaving out the fine details. It got me out of reading it myself, and kept the librarian happy. I was then allowed to choose my own book.

    I wonder if it’s “Tom Sawyer”, especially the part where Tom is getting everyone to do his whitewashing for him…

    If Audible books had been a thing when I was a kid, I wouldn’t have seen any TV commercials. Is that a bad thing?

    Won’t Miss Wormwood be able to recognise the difference in handwritings?!

    He’d love the book if his teacher didn’t require him to read it.

    In a recent comment on a Red and Rover strip, someone compared Hobbes to Rover. I replied that I wonder whether Rover would be able to see Hobbes as Calvin sees him and explained that one early story arc suggested that dogs see Hobbes as a toy but a later Sunday strip suggested that some animals see Hobbes the same way that Calvin sees him.

    As today’s strip touches on Hobbes’s reality by showing that Hobbes can do Calvin’s homework for him – though not necessarily better than Calvin – I will offer my comments on that early story arc and the later Sunday strip.

    Isn’t Calvin about six years old? Back in the day, first graders were slogging through Dick and Jane books. We had at least one of those in second grade.

    A college English professor who taught my Freshman class said he’d decided the main thing we needed to know was how to write research papers. He told us how long they should be and must of course include footnotes. We could choose our own topics and one would be due every week. Us lazy students were all pretty horrified and eventually talked him down to every two weeks. He was kind of weird young guy. Always sat on top of his desk with his legs crossed in what looked to me like a yoga pose. I read somewhere that the guy that wrote that book about zen and motorcycles taught at my college, wonder if it was him.

    This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode in which Kramer ends up with a manuscript that Elaine needs for work. She can’t read it, but Kramer has and loved it. She asks him to tell her about it, and he relates that the story of Billy Mumphrey is one of “love, deception, greed, lust, and unbridled enthusiasm.”

    Book reports were my worst nightmare. I had a hard time presenting the literary aspects of a story without completely retelling it…

    The feline touch may be a give-away to Mrs Wormwood.
