Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 15, 2025

Calvin already has enough zeros.

Calvin, there’s something suspicious going on…..

Wait, he realizes she’s messing with him but then he quickly writes smth on the paper with such focus and tells Suzie that he knows what 3 hundred billion gazillion is…. Calvin, what did you write down?

The rest of the answer continued on the back.

Remember when she slipped him the answer “Imadoofus”?

So a gazillion equals 100 trevigintillion. Got it.

This New Math is tough.

13 is an unlucky number.

That’s less than a google, which has 100 zeroes.

Never trust a girl, they’re practiced at deception.

This new math keeps getting weirder and weirder!

7+6=15 in base 8.

Trust a female to exaggerate!

Or 3 to the 85th power.

I’m guessing that Calvin is a “Many worlds” advocate.

Easier to write 3 × 10^85.

Come on… IT’S BASIC MATH ALREADY!!

14

Hope tomorrow is a follow-on

Me not theenk he could be this stoopid. Why no using your feengers to counts? It ain’t a very big number.

And Calvin calls himself as genius.

Hmm, isn’t that how many stars are in the sky? lol

Got me to thinking of Reverend Jim Ignatowski taking his driver’s test on Taxi.

Reverend Jim Ignatowski: [to Bobby] Psst. What does a yellow light mean?

Bobby Wheeler: Slow down.

Reverend Jim Ignatowski: OK. What… does… a… yellow… light… mean?Bobby Wheeler: Slow down!

Reverend Jim Ignatowski: OK. Wwwwhhhaaaat dooeesss aaaa yyyeeeellllowwww lllliiiight mmmmeeeannn?

what a sucker. :J

She’s mean to him, but he deserves it!

Gonna need to sharpen that pencil!!!!!!

Sure you knew it, Calvin.

“Oh yeah, that’s what I thought.”

If Calvin can count 85 zeroes, then he can add 7+6 :-D

I wonder if Suzie actually knows how many zeros

He won’t have enough time to write all those zeros.

We can’t all be math wizards.

Cheaters never prosper. (I wish)

Haha… Calvin better stick with Philosophy and Political Science (no matter how warped). His future as a mathematician and/or scientist is somewhat limited.

“Teacher, this test isn’t big enough. I need more paper to write my answers!”

Doesn’t she mean 300 billion gulliblezillion?

With all of those zeroes, there won’t be room on the paper to show his work. So he’ll still fail.

I checked with an expert. Hammy from Over the Hedge assures me that a gazillion has eleventy-seven zeros.

Doesn’t Calvin know how to use exponents?
