Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 25, 2022

You don’t, Calvin, but the teacher does.

A new simplistic approach…..

Ah, Calvin… just do it. Less of a hassle at the end of it.

sure, Calvin, take the easy way out

Look forward, not back!

He’s adept at figuring out ways to NOT do his homework!!

THAT’s thinking outside the book!

That’s how I felt about Algebra.

Calvin should ask, ‘Does Mrs Wormwood care?’

I took the brutal approach of reading the entire text about ten times. I found history a fascinating read in grade school.

When one gets into the motivations as to why some decisions were made and how they led to present situations history becomes a bit more interesting.

If he cares, then he’ll get the crib notes. Why read it when somebody else already did?

For example, when reading comics break the job down to panels, then just read the final panel, it contains the punch line.

But you have to start before you can finish, Calvin.

The teacher doesn´t really care. It is Calvin´s future.

Considering some of the revisionist history now being forced on children in schools, not a bad idea at all, Calvin.

Calvin, your butt is really gonna care when Mom and Dad find out!!

Great starting point for most anything.

A good idea (second panel) gone to pot by Calvin…

Much like the adage of “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.” Which is true, but it would take a 55 gallon drum of A1 sauce…

That history book needed some dinosaurs to spice it up.

‘’At Antietam, Union forces attacked on the backs of Velociraptors. Breaking thru the Confederate lines.’’ Now that’s History.

History. The aspect of one person’s opinion of what happened with a dash of political correctness. Think about something YOU lived through and how was it written later in the books?

In high school we had to read Shakespeare. At the time I thought it was a waste of time and preferred typing class. Now, many years later I still think Shakespeare was a waste of time, but typing has proved immensely useful to me.

“Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat third grade.” – George Santayana, sorta

Logistics expert.

This actually is the secret of engineering. The trick is to get paid enough to care. :)

He’s six. He’s a good reader, but first graders aren’t assigned to read chapters in history books—except apparently by Miss Wormwood :D

Ahhh, yes. The philsophy of life revealed!!!

Destined to be a Congressman.

History is just one long and more then slightly weird story Calvin. Should be right up your alley.

A fine tribute to Charles Schulz on what would’ve been his 100th birthday, in the Nov. 25 edition of dorktower.com.

I actually read that quote, “If you’re overwhelmed by the size of a problem…” (by Chuck Close), just minutes before reading this comic strip. Coincidence?

Gotta love Calvin’s logic. ;-)

reminds me of the scene in My Favorite Year, when Benjy is teaching his girlfriend to use chop sticks…he carefully demonstrates how to balance them together, and then uses them to pick up a fork, throwing away the chopsticks while stating “Dim sum are hard enough to eat, don’t make yourself crazy”

Hobbes plays a master role in making Calvin revel in his avatar.

A coworker told me, ”If it’s not work doing, it’s not worth doing well.” Boss did not agree.
