Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 14, 2012

Good thing Calvin didn’t bring up politics.

Nasty little kid ain’t he!!

Not very tactful,Mrs Wormwood does not like the effigy burning.

That’s it, Calvin! Stand up for your right to worship as you see fit!

Schools tend to frown on effigy burning. And the paste thing.

Boy – does he light up the day or what!

to day hard strip’s aren’t my boy h ah haa

Oh my god – burning an effigy in a non-denominational way … I can’t stop laughing

Speaking of religion, @SUSAN NEWMAN, I wish you a L’Shanah Tovah Tikatevu.

Oh, je, principal again!

I think Calvin is going to get a little “guidance”, but not in a spiritual way and I doubt whether it will be comforting either….

Funny how your principals always get you sent to the principal’s office, Calvin.

What’s Mom & Dad’s phone number?As principle, tell him he can’t light fires in school. Do it in your backyard (like I do). A sacrifice to the God’s ( some God’s).

Calvin is the ‘principal’ offender!Miss Wormwood is the ‘principle’ offender, and the object of odium!

Spiritual Guidance? more like Demonic.

I’d comment that it’s a hangup if it’s not yours. If it’s yours, it’s a belief.

Miss Wormwood only sent Calvin to the office because she wanted to strip down and be covered with paste while burning an effigy of the principal in a non-denominational way..

Maybe that comes from reading the bible:Give no woman power over you to trample upon your dignity. (Sirach 9:2 NAB)

If two Israelite men are fighting and the wife of one tries to rescue her husband by grabbing the testicles of the other man, her hand must be cut off without pity. (Deuteronomy 25:11-12 NLT)

It IS touchy. dont try it till you knock it, Jack

Oooooooooh! Hands on your head, Calvin!

xxx

I don’t think Miss Wormwood, or the principal for that matter, is paid enough.

Oh yeah calvin, very touchy

It’s not fair. Calvin knows bigger words (and complete thoughts) better than I do.

Actually they just want separation of church and state. The gov’mint should not pass laws that violate the moral ethics of the church. It is actually what the founding fathers wrote into the constitution. Christianity does not care if you want birth control by abortion….they just don’t want to be forced to pay for your abortion. They want you to pay for your abortion out of your own pocket.

Calvin sure loves to “Play Naked!”

In the 80’s I suppose this would have been funny. Today I see it as a case study of the early years of a person with serious anti-social issues.

It won’t be long before Agnes will be joining him from her class. Can you imagine Calvin and Agnes in the same school? Would the universe explode?

If he covered himself in oil instead of paste I think he would have been okay.

Sorry Calvin, your little smear campaign didn’t work out this time.

If Calvin does insist on covering himself with paste, it could get to be a sticky situation. Of course, he does have some burning issues with Mrs. Wormwood as well.

Ms Wormwood isn’t the only one feeling touchy …

Calvin’s a Republicant?

He’s not such a bad kid. He only wanted to burn her effigy.

Calvin was only trying to get a reaction out of Mrs. Wormwood and he succeeded in lighting a fire under her.

But he’s using big words.

Calvin, there’s no such thing as religious or metaphysical neutrality – which makes the very concepts of “separation of church and state” and “non-denominationalism” self-refuting. Try bringing that up instead if you _really _ want to blow people’s minds.

I think it was the burn the teacher in effigy that bought Calvin the trip down to the principle office… Just saying.

She should have told him to take the effigy outside and put it in a wastepaper basket and then set it on fire. If the rest of the class had been able to attend, Calvin would have been the most popular student in the school that day….amazing what you have to do to get other folks attention these days….

Calvin needs to move to Missouri – here’s what got voted in last month. “No student shall be compelled to perform or participate in academic assignments or educational presentations that violate his or her religious beliefs.”

Be like the Peanuts gang Calvin and quote the Bible.

And that separation also of comic s.

Oh, that Calvin! What a little scamp he is!!!!! ;-)

Amen! :)

@leftwingpatriot dude get a life, you’re always the first commenter. This is the most important thing in your life to do?

They’ve come a long way, haven’t they?
