Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 03, 2018

Mom must really want to get Calvin out of the house. She’s sending him to school on Labor Day.

Mom just could not wait to miss you Calvin – in the meantime, school misses you!

It’s great how Calvin would like to spend time with his family. So caring and polite.

Miss you? I think not.

What parent of a trouble-making child would miss their child going to school?

Uh isn’t today labor day?

Yep. She’s gonna miss you like she misses a toothache.

Wanna bet Calvin?

Quick Calvin, Miss Wormwood is waiting for you. I’m sure she misses you.

“I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag, I was schooled with a strap right across my back….”

Could be that within 15 min she will be soaking in a hot tub and wondering what to do her new free time.

Meanwhile, Hobbes is reading Calvin’s comic books.

‘How can she miss him if he won’t go away’…?

(Funny how we all assume it’s Mom tossing him out the door.)

i am sure her aim will improve…

Just like Mom misses a massive headache after it leaves!

If anything, Mom is happier than a giraffe who just got over a sore throat.

Back when I was young enough to go to school, a couple years ago, school didn’t start until after labor day. Could this be the first day of school?

like having a hemorrhoid and now you don’t

He’s Miss Wormwood’s problem now.

I’ll take that bet…

Seems like he has done this before… Poor kid, how many times does he need to repeat 1st grade?

It looks like GoComics got updated again. Replies have “@[Username]” in front of them again.

For the next seven hours, sweet peace.

If it’s you Calvin, I don’t think they’ll miss you that much.

Uh…no she won’t, Calvin.

Don’t hold your breath Calvin.
