LOL! this is great reminds me of when ladywolf17 was little,she would run around the house acting like she was busy and when I finally caught up to her she was sound asleep on the floor in the hallway.
according to my authoritive calvin and hobbes book this isn’t the strip that should be run today, it should be the one where hobbes won’t let calvin come up to the treehouse until he says all the tiger verses.
This doesn’t change when they get older - they just have more ‘reasons’ to move in slow motion for me - but when a friend calls and wants to do something they can definitely hit warp drive!

Funny how a loud, “NOW” gets kids motivated!
A loud “NOW!” doesn’t just work on kids either. It also works on my DOG who likes to lolly-gag out in the yard after her business is done and I’m ready for us to go in the house. She gets really motivated too when she hears that word!!!
Hi guys I’m new and just a brief intro. I am a huge fan of Calvin and Hobbes and also garfield. you should see me post on either of ‘em so anyways.
Calvin could have gone to bed in the time it took him to create the fake him in bed. lol

I am trapped in slow motion until I am given a task by my wife that I can not put off any longer.

I have a grandson who does the slow motion thing. Hilarious! But wait, he’s six. That explains it!!

I think every kid did this. I did it all the time at the grocery store since I hated being dragged there as a kid.

The expression of his mother in the 3rd last panel is priceless!!
And I’m impressed at Watterson’s art. Look how detailed Calvin’s walking movement is drawn!

Yes this seems about right: to speed or not to speed, that is the question…

You have to admit, Calvin certainly does find new and original ways to procrastinate!

ninmas - I think gocomics run C&H to match the Sunday comics rather than match the dates. They’re all reruns anyway.
bhandraoijo - haha, how very true!

Did any of you catch Man vs. Cartoon on tru.TV last night? Grown-up Calvins!!

Y’know, for such a lazy kid, Calvin sure does have a firm grasp of quantum mechanics…

Couldn’t miss it Silverpearl, looked like Wylie coyote should have taken a lesson from them.

Better than running in slow motion to save drowning people.
