    At least when you work, you get paid. I can’t think of a single thing that makes school worth it.

    Calvin could get a dangerous job. He’s already a stuntman, crash test dummy and vocabulary teacher. Teaching kids can be dangerous.

    Don’t worry Calvin, i don’t look back on my schooling days with fondness either. Too much conformity and too much bullying! ;P

    You get to school to get a job. If you don’t choose well, each phase will be misery. Oh what the heck. Doesn’t matter what kind of job you get. Someone is going to want to make you miserable!

    No? OK, then be a grouch.

    I wish there was online schooling in the ’50’s and ’60’s when I was a student.

    Imagine: no bitchy teachers, no bullying classmates…

    Don’t forget the price of gasoline, empty grocery and pharmacy shelves, rampant crime, inflation in one form or another, a horrifying war in the Ukraine, pandemics, rewritten history, etc.

    I have had this comic at work for years!!! I never got married so I never had children (I am one of those people who believe in marriage) but I can understand. Oh what fun it would have been.

    Calvin will be a house husband, getting his SF writing done while his wife, Susie Derkins, bills $400/hour for the law firm she is a partner of.

    The price of a high standard of living is often preferable to the price of a low standard of living. Either way, you have to work. It just depends on how immediate your needs are. The alternative to both is not living.

    Well, you may have to go to school and you may have to go to work – but at least you don’t have to have a kid, whether they’re whiny or not.

    I bet Dad’s not going to be the one to tell Calvin that, though. He probably doesn’t like being reminded he wanted a dachshund instead.

    Don’t fall for that despondent view, Calvin. With your wit and vigor, you will manage all with ease, besides standing for the senator.

    Ha! Ha! What a lie! One of the greatest perks of adulthood is, if you find the right job, it’s only 8 hours a day with NO HOMEWORK. Even with a 40-hour job, I’m working LESS THAN HALF as long as I did in school. And I get paid for it too! I wouldn’t want to be a school kid again for ANYTHING.

    So Ukraine is a country. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So basically that’s wrong. And it goes against everything that we stand for

    A few weeks ago he was yelling at Calvin for bad grades. Now he is making snarky, sarcastic remarks about school? Sounds like Dad needs a long talk with the man in the mirror before he worries about Calvin’s problems.
