YES YES, one of the best arcs in the entire comic (which given which strip we’re talking about is saying something) begins. It’s why i’m glad I moved this up on my daily reading list. Even if you’ve read calvin and hobbes a hundred times it always feels good to revisit.
If this were original today, the FBI would descend on Calvin’s parents in force. In fact, Watterson may be in the news tomorrow morning. Times have changed.
Ooooh, this is a fun story arc! As a kid, I thought Susie’s line in the last panel was amusing, but nowadays if another teacher or the principal overheard her, she’d probably be dragged to the office!

I wonder if grown up Calvin was put on the no-fly list.
The Calvinosaurus That Calvin Wanted To Discover over 1 year ago
Any other student would bring the answers to cheat, but Calvin just has to go farther than that.

Ah, the late 60s and early 70s.Rarely did a week go by without a bomb treat at our high school.

Calvin’s not cagey enough to bring the answer sheet.

A little bit safer than the last time Susie was curious…https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/2023/02/16

Is Guantánamo still open?

Don’t worry, it’s probably not. His parents wouldn’t buy him one anyway!

He’s probably carrying some sort of creepy crawly.

Interesting how this seems so different from when it first appeared.

A left-wing marxist terrorist in the making… Calvin needs to be watched closely… LOL

Why do I get the feeling that this all comes back to the Noodle Incident?

Meh, probably just Hobbes in there. Susie is too interested in knowing though. And she insists that she doesn’t like him.

This is not as funny as when it was first published. It could be anything up to ricin.

First of all, just saying that nowadays would probably get one of them suspended and counselled.
Second, this is a really fun arc.

Susie gives tungue to invasive questions. Calvin gives tungue to debasive comment.

Calvin is a grown up six year old. We love him as he is.

Only Calvin could have a friend like Hobbes. They fight like cat and dog but always emerge best friends.
