Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 08, 2015

Not everyone is a fan of the arts.

Ya, ya, Calvin, so are the problems, see you later!!

I’m a mechanical boyLike a mechanical toyI follow directions, whatever I’m toldI never get hot and I never get coldI never have lived so I never grow oldThat’s because I’m a mechanical boy..Jack Wild, HR Pufnstufhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_7WIt9A9gA

Least of all the principal.

Hey, he demonstrated a problem.

Calvin is too short to reach the board.

this is why I always keep my tinfoil hat handy..

It is a poor teacher that cannot take care of their own problems.

And now, Calvin, starring in…….. “RoboFlop.”It seems like “Calvin the Robot” has a turntable inside his head, and the record is skipping. But that’s OK, because the Principal will create a new record to add to the collection.Speaking of theater, Miss Wormwood has seen many of Calvin’s performances over the years. Most of them are staged. He usually plays the role of the antagonist.Calvin doesn’t need to work from a script, because he is always capable of making a scene. Especially when he’s on a role.For Puddleglum — in today’s strip: “Exit, stage left!” (Snagglepuss)

Ben Hur is realy a super film, for long time my favourite!

@LX013: There’s the old joke about the guy who had a dog named Ben Hur. First he named the dog Ben, but then it had puppies.

A place for everything, and everything in its place, Cal.

No one in their right mind.

Oh, I remember this one. Always makes me LOL. I have no will of my own..my own….

Read further about it in “Calvin: The Notes to Home (Vol. 5)!”

If you don’t eat your meat, you can’t have any pudding…how can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat??

XD Miss Wormwood’s expression in the third panel! She clearly is not amused.

Danger Calvin, danger, danger!

Theater …yes, theatrics …NO!For today it could be …exit, stage-fright!

“On My Own” – Les Miserables

No sense of humour whatsoever.

Never mind, Calvin. We still love you!

Calvin spends more time with the principal than he does with Hobbes

@Hobbes

Thanks for the bonus strips. The Non Sequitur one especially is brilliant!

The Principal: “AARGH! — Not YOU again!!”

There’s a reason why they say “Don’t try any of this stuff at home.” That includes school also.

Yes, Calvin, they do, but this is not drama class.

we are the robots by kraftwerk!

genius (unappreciated)

Apparently, Ms. Wormwood doesn’t.
