Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 19, 2024

Sorry, Calvin. Your mother isn’t on Stupendous Man time.

Calvin says it’s Sunday which means he does have school that day or just put off his homework as usual.

Definitely an acute problem

Superman reversed the Earth’s rotation, too!!!

CST: Calvin Saving Time

Stupendous Mom is going to disagree.

I believe there is a planet in the solar system that does rotate counter-clockwise. Can’t remember which one, though.

“Mild-mannered Calvin”? Is there another Calvin in this strip now?

“If I could turn back time

If I could find a way

I’d take back those words that have hurt you

And you’d stay… "

funnily enough, im supposed to be doing math problems on this beautiful sunday morning too! and.. i better stop procrastinating XD

Key word “stup”. Like in stupid.

But won’t tomorrow be yesterday?

Where was Stupendous Man when I needed him?

More like Procrastination Man. Mow the lawn, take out the trash, clean out the garage, universal health care! (Sorry, the last one only applies to me. $3200 per eye for fixing my cataracts, which our insurance considers non necessary surgery. Half up front. I need Stupendous Man!

“Defender of Freedom… Advocate of Liberty”. Dilly! Dilly! Sounds exactly like our Be❤️ed Count!

Why haven’t you burned the costume by now? Why did you made that costume in the first place?!

I wish I had an imagination as vivid as Calvin…

Stupendous man is a W

I wonder of Stupendous Man knows Professor Chaos?

Got a feeling Mom will trash his plan with a little reality.

Looks more like Stupendous man’s sidekick, delusional kid…

Ooooooooh, the oceans aren’t going to like earth’s counter rotation move too well . . . .nevertheless, I’ll be there’ll be some gnarly waves for surfing thanks to Stupendous man and Calvin’s loathing of homework!

Sorry, Stupendous Man, but Mom Lady is not gonna buy that!

Once again, reality is going to smack Calvin in the face.

This is what happens when you get your science from Superman lore

I love stupendous man….no one better!

Stupendous man should keep going, counting back the days until before Calvin is in school to begin with

Why my parents insisted we do homework right after school. Even on Friday.

If my 5 year old was concocting such scientically inspired fiction and using words like “…strikes the ground at an acute angle with stupendous force” I wouldn’t worry too much about the homework. He is obviously bright.

What a guy!

Calvin just watched the first Superman movie.

This Sunday isn’t beautiful where I am; it’s ironically cloudy and sprinkly. But at least it gives me time to work on cleaning out my closet!

I also love Stupendous Man’s proud march at the end.

He’s really “The Mighty Procrastinator”.

He looks more magenta than crimson.

Superman only had to fly around the world at tremendous speed to turn back time…

Grand Avenue has a similar conceit here.

Hmm… people aren’t supposed to not know what day it is until MUCH later in life.

He sure gots a stupendous imagination.

Calvin’s parents should hire Superlative girl as a tutor, if only to give Rosalind a break.

That seems like a lot of extra work to have to do to get out of doing work. I retired, effectively making EVERY day Saturday. At least that is the way I explained it to my dog.

Sorry Calvin, you’re too much today. I don’t feel like chasing you today.
