Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 16, 2024

What about Wil E. Coyote?

That is not bad thinking!

MEEP MEEP!!!!!

Genius?? HAH!! Betcha Susie brings in a masterpiece!

I thought the cotton balls were the dust after Wile E. fell off the 100-foot cliff.

Or it’s a pair of yetis having a snowball fight in a blizzard!

Beep! Beep!

Clever, explain it to the teacher.

Hide and tell.

Finally, after 3 whole comic strips(or four idk), Calvin finally did something to his box.

I foresee Calvin’s parents receiving a note from his teacher in the near future…

Say goodbye to creativity.

Good alternative. Bad idea

My husband does dioramas with his diecast cars. I showed him this & he loved it.

Excellent!!!

smart…

Meep Meep : )

Beep beep

Not a bad idea, Calvin!

There should be sound affects, you know, BEEP BEEP

\\//_

Calvin claims he’s a genius, just like Wile E. Coyote. Very fitting!

Curiously Coyotes can run a little better than twice as fast as a roadrunner, so he is eating the roadrunner off screen every time. the roadrunner population is huge.

That’s actually quite creative!

Calvin didn’t build anything. He just ordered one overnight from the Acme catalog.

A scorpion would have been cool

Calvin forgot the ACME anvil.

Dust clouds – the cartoonist adaptation of “swiftly getting out of Dodge”.

He’s creative AF and deserves a good vote.

LOL… ‘Clouds of Dust’. The kid DOES have a great imagination. Let’s hope his teacher does, as well.

Good job Calvin!!!

That is pretty clever.

That’s actually pretty smart

Oops ! ;-)

a little brown paint and those cotton balls could have been tumbleweeds

I had a View-Master set of Coyote and Road Runner scenes. Back then someone had to make physical models to be able to get the 3D effect for View-Master, though later I saw adaptions of flat drawings placed at different layers.

Desperation makes for inspiration. Probably never seen a road runner, most haven’t, they smoke the roads.

that’s surprisingly smart for Calvin’s schoolwork

Hail the genius! Why do I have a feeling that the abstract desert depiction is incomplete without both the predator and the prey.

Reminiscent of the Golden Oldie about the kid who shows the art teacher a supposedly finished picture — a blank piece of paper.

Teacher: What is it a picture of?

Kid: A cow eating grass.

T: Where’s the grass?

K: The cow ate it all.

T: So where’s the cow?

K: You don’t think she’d be dumb enough to hang around if all the grass is gone, do you?

perfect! sort of like that crate with the sheep in the “the little prince” kind of thing.
