Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 09, 2013

Mrs Wormwood is not playing letting our hero get away with being a little lazy .

A Barfing Face sticker would be so cool! I wonder Calvin isn’t delighted with it! I would be…

What good is a smiley sticker any ways.

Wowwwww….

ROTFL!!

Miss Wormwood probably smiled when she put that sticker on.

You have to give to Miss Wormwood’s sense of humour.

Some interesting candidates for stickers on today’s strip too.

I totally agree with downundergirl, any little boy would love a barfy face!

By the way, is this the same test where Susie answered “Eli Whitney and Cotton Gin” to a Math problem?Calvin should figure it out why he got the Barfy sticker.

Apparently, it is this: http://bit.ly/GMszfl

Or this: http://bit.ly/d51ELn

At this rate Calvin will be left back and will no longer be in the same class as Susie. – Unless his school practices social promotion.

Sort of like “Mr. Yuk” stickers:Click here: Wikipedia article on Mr. Yuk

The internet at it’s seminal days

Judgmental today, are we?

A barfing face sticker somehow seems apropos.

Hope it’s not a scratch-and-sniff sticker.

How could Calvin not know about the barfing face stickers?

Too bad the school assumes girls don’t like snakes.

It could be Mrs. Wormwood’s barf on the sticker.

Poor Calvin. On the other hand, my son at that age would have loved the barfing far better than the smiling.

what is barfing ..?

“That’s not a grade, that’s SARCASM!”—P. Patty, after receiving a Z-minus.

He’s just upset the sticker isn’t a ‘scratch n’ sniff’!

A barfy face:XP<<<

Well this ‘Barfing Face’ has got to look better than the face YOU have on right now!

LOL xxx

Could never happen in today’s school system. First of all, it isn’t a “quiz” or “test” – those terms are too intimidating to the children. To be politically correct, it’s called a “challenge.”

The “challenge” cannot be graded in red ink. Once again, it’s too intimidating to the chidren.

Then again there are no “wrong” answers, it’s just that there are “better” answers. 2+2 = 5 isn’t “wrong” it’s just not as “good” as 2+2=4.

And finally the ACLU would have Mrs. Wormwood’s butt in court for handing out smiley stickers to some kids and not others regardless of performance. Everyone should get a gold star for just taking the um, “challenge.”

you know i called that poison help numberbut they refused to help me figure out what poison i need to get rid of the old ball and chain

This is one of the few comic where Susie comes off the jerk.
