Calvin is not only deliberately uneducated, he’s a raging narcissist. Nothing can ever be his fault. The eyes of insanity in the last panel say everything.
I believe the word that describes Calvin at this moment is “delusional”. It would truly give me the willies to know someone like this in person. I would back away quickly and not have anything to do with them.
I refuse to accept that Calvin could ever grow up to be a politician, since that would mean I’d have to hate the little rascal I love so much. Sort of like matter and anti-matter meeting.
I always thought he should write a sequel “The Art of the Misdeal”.
“My cards are dirty, the dealer is biased against me, geniuses should get extra cards, everybody else is cheating, house rules are stupid, what do you mean you cannot declare bankruptcy in poker …"
When I took Japanese in college, I got really worried when we got our first quiz back. The professor was from Japan, and apparently there, tests are marked with a circle if the answer is correct, and a checkmark if it’s wrong. So seeing a bunch of answers circled and very few checked had me panicking briefly, until I realized what was happening.
88 percent of Darwin Award winners are male. People who kill themselves by doing idiotic things. The dumbest one had to be the professional skydiver who forget his parachute as he jumped out of a plane. He had camera equipment instead. He must have learned a lesson from that because he never did that again.
I know all of these Calvin & Hobbs strips are from years ago, but something about this one sounds really current and familiar. If he were to say, “It was 3 against one” even more so.
Yes! It was Opposites Day! All those votes for him were really for me! Oh, but wait—those were the fake votes! So the fake votes for him were really real votes! But that makes them real votes for him! And that makes the real votes for me fake votes for me! Which means those are actually real votes for him! But that means the real votes for him were fake votes for me! Which means the fake votes for me don’t count! Only the real votes for me count! And the fake votes for him count as real votes but not for him! And the real votes for me don’t count for me but for him! And so I won! But it’s Opposites Day so if I won I lost, and if I lost I won, but if I lost I lost, and I can’t lose, so I can’t win, but I won, so I can’t lose! I lost and I won at the some time! I own Schrodinger’s cat, too! It’s the best cat ever! And it’s alive! Or not! Maybe!
For those who like to connect Calvin with politics, I suggest you pop over to Tom the Dancing Bug. He does it regularly so you don’t have to, and I think the rest of us would appreciate it if you didn’t. Thank you.

Calvin’s denialism and spewing out excuses reminds me of the wild ranting and ramblings of a current Presidential candidate.

Once again, Calvin simply won’t accept defeat. And yep, I remember the dreaded Xs on a quiz or test I get handed back.
I also like the drawing of Susie in the last panel, with her triangle mouth.
