Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 01, 2016

Doing nothing well requires some skill.

A boon be on all like-minded.

now i am confused – is “doing- nothing” a soft skill or a hard skill?

The trouble with doing nothing is you never know when you’re done.

I agree. Especially over 30 degrees Celsius.

Shelley Berman once said that if you’re just staring out to space and someone challenges you for just doing nothing, you can reply simply, “I’m creating.”

While I was very young, my mother sometimes asked “What are you doing?”, and I answered “I’m doing nothing.” She usually said “Then you can help me with …”, and I never got it across that I didn’t answer “I’m not doing anything.”

I agree 100%

This isn’t unusual for Watterson, but the last panel is beautiful.

Funny

Today’s strip owes something to Pogo, particularly the last panel.

Amen to that, Hobbes!

In a later strip Calvin tells his mom that he has nothing to do. She tells him he can help her with the housework but he replies “I was boasting.”

Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow!

I can’t remember that far back. The farthest I can go is “bored”.

But then, I had ADHD before ADHD was “ADHD”.

You can get the best nothing moment only if you live in the countryside.

Nothing=what rocks dream of…

“Nothing” with Hobbes is even best!

Have to add…She asked, “What are you doing?”I answered, “Nothing”.She replied, “But you did that yesterday.”I set her straight, “Yeah, but I didn’t finish”
