Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 29, 2024

Stop giving Calvin things, miss Wormwood. He’s just going to turn them into a life or death situation.

Calvin needs a dog, to make it more believable…..

Book ’em Danno

He tried stuffed tiger, but that didn’t work either.

Notice that neither Mom nor Dad try to help him with his studies.

When I was in elementary school, first thing every morning, students faced a chalkboard full of arithmetic problems. I’ve hated math ever since then!

“I couldn’t read it because my parents forgot to pay the gravity bill!”

MY, look at the book marks.

The Dinosaur ate my homework.

I’ve never seen this one before. It’s great!

It’s the Monster Book of Monsters! I bet JK Rowling got the idea from this strip.

J.K. Rowling might have borrowed this for her book of monsters.

Hoo-boy… Calvin’s parents are NOT gonna be happy to get the bill for that one!

when we got a new textbook at school, we had to carefully break it in…

Why is Ms. Wormwood at Calvins home?

Since his planets colliding method of solving math problems didn’t work, he needs a new method

It was a struggle ….but we have a winner!!!!!

If this is homework, why is he doing it at school? Unless. Ms Wormwood is visiting Calvin’s house to check up on him like Mr Hand did to Spicolli in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”. Sean Penn’s first and only good movie role; it was all downhill after that.

Do you think this is where Rowling got her idea for a man-eating book in Harry Potter?

Chances of ‘Ms. Wormwood’ believing Calvin - can there be negative chances such as ‘-10 to 1’ ?

I once walked away from the computer with a spread sheet I had created without saving it. I found out when I got back that the compute went through an automatic update. Could I have told the boss the computer ate my assignment?

“Army of Darkness’” book called the Necronomicon. Calvin did not say the magic words “Klaatu barada nikto”!

Belligerent books are the worst kind.

I had a cunning plan…just did not do the homework.

They say that the natural world runs on math, and nature is red in tooth and claw….

Like Harry Potter jumping on the “Monster Book of Monsters” book in the Prisoner of Azkaban.

That kid will imagine anything to avoid doing homework.

i enjoyed math. I enjoyed basic algebraic formula. then it got a tad weird. i still use basic algebra. How many bags of concrete to fill a 14" diameter sonotube that is 52" deep with a 4X4 in it to the bottom, knowing a 4X4 is 3 1/2" X 3 1/2".

The heads on the 2 flying dinos remind me of the cartoon crows, Heckle and Jeckle!

When I was a poor, young boy, books were precious. I was raised to consider breaking the spine of a book to be a capital crime. Of course, I loved my books, even my math books.

There is not enough dope in the world…

I think Calvin’s medications dosages need adjusting…

How horrible, Calvin!!

Me…trying to understand physics.

Just another Sunday hallucination in Calvin land. It’s great! ;-0

I think only Watterson could make a schoolbook look like it had a happy or vicious face.

I’ve had math homework that was that agressive. First semester of University. Double-speed calculus. Had to drop that sucker with a W (incomplete) before I got an indelible F.
