Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 04, 2025

Haha, that is a very good idea but it is not going to work

Is Calvin part shark?

Well thought out, Calvin…..

Jaddis, WHY did you spill the beans on this strip yesterday??

And if the tooth fairy was so gullible, would Mom and Dad let Calvin keep the $150?? I think not!!

Now that paper newspapers no longer exist in many cities, what do children put down when they work with plaster?

The tooth fairy is no dummy, Calvin…

I think he has a point about the tooth fairy. Unless she has some cunning scam that makes the teeth really valuable. (I only got sixpence for most of mine, but I think I got a shilling each for the last few. )

And I note that while he can’t do even simple arithmetic in class, when it comes to calculating profit for himself, his ability suddenly improves.

Obviously personal involvement is the key.

Now if he were actually on one of those trains that are regularly rushing towards each other at given speeds, he might be able to calculate exactly when he would perish horribly in a spectacular crash.

The drawback is that he has to inform Mom first because she notifies the fairy. He may be able to fool the fairy, but not Mom.

Suddenly impressive math skills…
