Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 25, 2018

So make them Mercurians instead of Martians and you’ve got it.

How did Susie know they were Martians?

What do you mean Calvin isn’t doing anything? Didn’t he just design the cover pages?

“That’s my gig, babe – it’s what I do…”

Is Hollywood ready for another genius?

Sadly, what is said here as a joke has become how many parents, and their kids, really think about college applications.

Calvin’s working and doing it well. He’s just not working on what she wants him to work on!

Oh, Calvin! Always cheering up the damsel in distress!

A good martian comic beats a first-rate college any day.

when you’re young almost anything can be a ‘huge crisis’, just ask my grandkids. when you’re older some things can really be a ‘huge crisis’. when you are dead nothing is a crisis. hmmmm wonder why that is?

I doodled my way through grade school and used to love making those flippy-page animations. Later went on to become a Flash animator.

This is why I hate group projects in school

You would think Susie would appreciate the entertainment Calvin is providing.

I have a sneaking suspicion this might be slightly autobiographical.

I remember wayyyyyy back when I did not become valedictorian of my high school because I chose my cheerleader girlfriend as my lab partner in a Physics class – drat that “B” grade.

Maybe Calvin drawn a Spaceman Spif adventure

I don’t think I even knew what college WAS back in first grade! Susie can be a little high-strung!

I love flip books. Never made one of my own though.

And Calvin ignores her frustration.

They aren’t Martians – they’re Republicans chasing the oh so secret society within the FBI

Poor Susie. She can turn the table after they get married in the distant future.

Here we go again…6:55 am EST, and still showing yesterday’s strip. C’mon GC – get your act together!

Just jump on him, Susie!

Today’s strip ran away from today.

Don’t worry, Susie. Colleges won’t check your transcripts before high school.
