When you’re young you want to use the time machine to go to the future, when you’re older you want to go to the past.In the present, we fear the future and regret the past.
In his constant kicking, screaming, crying, and wailing to not get on the school bus to take him to school; while his Mom has to resort to brute force! — he merely lets us know us what time of day it is: it is 8:30 A.M. Aah, another day, another dollar.
if you went back in time, the homework would dissapear wouldnt it? hobbes raised this qeustion in anaother series. i dont remember the date (by the way, im new here)
@Hansternator,It’s confusing, but Calvin of the future couldn’t have it yet, since it hasn’t been done. If Calvin goes back and does it, then Calvin of the future will have it after it’s done!

The future isn’t what it used to be, Calvin!

No doubt about it, this arc is my all-time favorite.

Future Calvin does seem to be the better of the two.

Future Calvin isn’t better…he’s still passing the buck.(Sometimes I think that should be an Olympic sport…other times, I’m convinced it already is.)

Calvin should have gone ahead in time, stolen Susie’s report, then gone back in time and shown it to her so she couldn’t plagiarize it.

Lol.. If u want something done you gotta do it yourself.. Especially if you’re a irresponsible, disobedient kid. :)

How long ago was the assignment given to him? I don’t remember. Could he go back to that time and do it? Could he pick up a work ethic along the way?
Puddleglum2 over 12 years ago
Calvin is a ‘nut’ if he doesn’t ‘bolt’ back into the past and write his story!
Puddleglum2 over 12 years ago
Calvin should go back and write a cock and bull story about traveling into the future in a cardboard box with a tiger!

Compromise – Write the report and submit it, THEN time travel back and change the grade.

Calvin could go into 1 day into the future amd steal someone else’s home work and right in his name

Ow. While y’all are thinking about the paradoxes of time travel, I’m thinking about that last line from 8:30 Calvin.
Kind of hit a little too close to home for me. Like I said—ow.

Calvin tell your teacher you lost it in your time travels.

In a funny sort of way… this time-travel logic makes perfect sense. Keep it coming (or has it gone already?)!

It’s cute that Calvin fights another future him.

Since Calvin is always complaining about being a kid, he should go into the future when he is an adult.

Hopefully the destruction of the fabric of time and space caused by the paradox will be restricted to our own galaxy.
