Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 24, 2023

Don’t you just hate it when the intelligence wears off?

Another project to gross out everyone at school with. I wish I could’ve done that.

It’s worth noting that originally the term “carnosaur” referred to any large theropod before it turned out most of them weren’t closely related to each other, so now it refers mainly to the group allosaurs and carcharodontosaurs belong to.

In fact, Tyrannosaurus was closer to birds than it was to Allosaurus.

Calvin always has a swelled head, metaphorically speaking.

Normal service will now be resumed……..

Calvin is actually enthusiastic about a school project?? Unbelievable!! Of course, he’ll still get a failing grade.

Holy Moly… these words are making me dumber.

Mostly, Bill forgot about that in the first frames and just went with it.

At least his paper has no lines. Pictures should never be drawn on lined paper, even by a kid. Although, his books have no words. Or even pictures !!!

Umm… Scratch that last part and you might even get an A!

Quick, another dose!

Calvin, you should be paying attention to Hobbes’s warning!

well, it was a terrific outline. Too bad it’ll get written 15 minutes before it’s due.

The term ‘notional’ comes to mind when one thinks of Calvin

so that wasn’t my imagination… guess the machine only works for a short amount of time.

Calvin stacks the deck of history.

Uh oh.

Gotta love Hobbes…

Dinos with people? You have a future designing displays for the “Creation ‘Museum’”……

Except to buy that crap, your brain will need to shrink a whole lot more.

Uh-oh, Calvin’s wanting to goof off! So much for his paper…

No hesitation to start with the funny drawings once the brain enhancements are gone. Switch flipped instantly.

I love Hobbes’ pithy observation in the last panel.

We knew it wouldn’t last.

And, Mrs Wormwood thinks this boy is not attentive to details in the class.

I’ve always thought that the T-Rex evolved to be a thief. That way the small arms make sense, they’re large enough to intimidate but small enough to not get in the way.
