Lately I’ve been wondering if Twinky is actually Calvin’s last name, since it’s common in media for bullies to refer to their victims by their surname.
One of the jerks I went to school with, ended up a drug addict. No surprise there, but he also murdered a young woman by throwing her off a bridge. He’s out now, did 15 years for it.
I fully expect his lifetime contribution to society will be a considerable negative balance, drawn on the rest of us.
Why doesn’t Calvin’s mom and dad go to the school to report this bully? I’m sure Calvin’s face is all black and blue. Poor thing. I was bullied by two girls in elementary school. Why? I have no idea. They always threatened me. One has passed away the other? Who knows.
I guess I was lucky, didn’t have a ‘bully’ in grade school, had a couple in high school but one little move one Friday night after a basketball game got me ‘clear sailing’ for the rest of my time in school ! ! ! !
I had a bully like that back in 6th. grade. He was twice as big as any of the other kids because he been “left behind”. Nowadays they let the kids pass onto the next grade.
Kids, don’t bully your peers. Treat each with respect and kindness. It’s not worth the internal anguish, ongoing depression, anxiety and mental issues we victims face daily afterwards.

I seem to have the same problem. Luckily, my size and demeanor have kept people from getting into fights with me.
Which is lucky, because I’m a pwssy.

Notice that Moe’s dialogue is written in lower case. (I also like how Watterson writes lines Calvin delivers in a robotic voice…)

Calvin should take up kickboxing or Wei Chi Rhu and give him a serious lesson in self control and respect.

I’m surprized Moe understood all of thoze big words. Actually, maybe he didn’t, and he just punched Calvin for making him feel mentally inferior.

This is like people who mouth off to police even where there is no one else around to be “impressed” by their “brilliance”.
I always limit my responses to “Yes, sir.” “No, sir.” “See you in court, sir.”
Who needs that kind of grief?
