Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 24, 2015

Always go with, " I think I may have the flu." Nobody will come within 100 feet of you.

Headache Calvin. Nobody can prove anything.

you have to think long term calvin…EBOLA..

My foster mother turned every illness into a punishment. You had to stay in bed and food was kept very bland and delivered on a tray next to the stairs, which I had to go get when called. I would not recommend that sort of treatment, but I never played sick a day in my life and shrugged off even pneumonia in high school until I started coughing up blood.

I’m sure Miss Wormwood will write you a note.

Moms will always out smart you. Haven’t ya’ learned anything in six years boy?

Has Calvin been vaccinated?

Calvin wasn’t very successful in his pursuit of ill-gotten gains.Calvin isn’t the first kid who ever submitted a fraudulent health claim.Calvin’s mom can tell when Calvin isn’t telling the truth about feeling sick. She can recognize the symptoms.

I wish I’d been allowed to play hooky even just once; just to have one of those special pleasant memories. (Snow Days don’t count.)

This is amazingly similar to a long-running ad for a temporary staffing agency.

“Take a day off. Maybe a week. We’ve got a really fine temporary. And he’s working at YOUR desk.”

I can’t imagine how you would think that. I can’t recall seeing or even hearing of a doctor actually giving a shot for decades. Nurses on the other hand. . .

I know how you feel Calvin, it’s Friday, I don’t want to go to work either.

Calvin, Calvin, Calvin… NEVER lead off with “I think I should stay home from school.” DEAD giveaway! (Let the parents draw that conclusion…)

“Take two aspirin and call me in the morning.”

You had her Calvin, until you started seeing spots.

Calvin, meet Ferris Buehler. He’s the master of vague symptoms.

I always see Calvin and the Carrier!

That’s how I got my tonsils yanked. It was during the ‘50s, when the answer to every childhood ailment started with “Out with their tonsils!” I hated school so much from the get-go that I chronically complained of bad tummy and who knows what else. Next thing I know I’m deciding which stuffed animals to take with me to the hospital. Looking back on it, it was pretty funny how I double-crossed myself.

I’m healthy enough for playing the organ and to sing, I don’t know, why I’m healthy enough for this??

Doctors make house calls?

Well today is Friday, so you’ll be fine.

Doctor found, I have too much sugar. So I was not allowed to eat everything, there were many things, which are forbidden and I had to find out an other plan for eating. First days I was so hungry, I feared to starve to death. Now I have found a new plan for eating and I am better!!

I so know how he feels.

you probably should have kept out the stomach ache and seeing spots
