Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 30, 2023

…and cue eye roll.

You’d have to earn someone’s consideration first, Calvin.

If you’d started it earlier Calvin, you’d have had enough time to think things through and produce a better quality report (but of course starting early and thinking things through were never your forte. ;D).

He’s a good example of the Dunning-Kruger Effect, but too stupid to realize it!!!

Geniuses win Nobel Prizes, Calvin. Where’s yours??

Hobbes “cough”…….

If he knows the subject so well, he should have been able to to turn out a masterpiece in no time at all. I’m thinking spaceman Spiff went to planet Zircon for a while.

I think this essay problem has been going on for weeks now. I mean at least it is over.

A stable genius thought if I ever heard one.

The problem is, Hobbes – a lot of fools with big money think that same way: ‘I have big money, therefore I am a genius and require special consideration.’

A six year old, writing a paper, and discussing the contents with the philosopher.

True geniuses either don’t need special consideration, or they do get special consideration. Which should tell Calvin something.

When Cal goes through one of these wind-ups, he almost never comes out of it with the obvious lesson. ‘Be prepared’ is not one of the arrows in his quiver.

You’re a genius at avoiding responsibility, Calvin.

The devil of writing any factual paper is that you can only use what you know to find the official versions. It takes accolades to become a source authority on almost anything.

His theme song will probably be “Workin’ At The Carwash Blues” by Jim Croce. Listen to the song and you’ll get my drift

Every genius but you, Calvin. Everyone.

I think that one comment might have been the total inspiration for Sheldon Cooper.

See James Whitcomb Riley’s poem “The Hired Man’s Faith in Children.” “…Even bad ones, seems to me, is j’es as good as they can be.”

And if you were one, Calvin; maybe you would…

“I think geniuses should be given special considerations.”

You, and Ayn Rand. The problem is that too many people who are simply ambitious THINK they’re geniuses, and true geniuses can figure out how to work around obstacles.

“But I have drawings!”

“I think geniuses should be given special considerations.” Yes, Calvin, we should :-)

You are genius, fella. We all can vouch!

Calvin, a true genius would have started with inventing a time machine. You’d be able to back up and get ’er done right.

Geniuses should be graded on a steeper curve?

Extra points for not having to look up information in the encyclopedia

He grows up to invent Twitter.

“Everyone dies, Frank.” “You’d think officers would get a break.” (M*A*S*H from memory)

I’m certain that Robert Oppenheimer would agree with that…

Only if the genius is stable. Very, very stable.

OK Sheldon

Love the eye roll oh Hobbes at the end of the strip today… too funny.

But Calvin’s not a genius anymore…

Genius always takes a backseat to conformity when it comes to being recognized.

Hobbs expression say’s it all.

When I meet a genius, I’ll ask if he agrees to that.

“Geniuses deserve special consideration…” Yep. And that special consideration is, You should know better!
