It is a poor teacher that cannot take care of their own problems.

And now, Calvin, starring in…….. “RoboFlop.”It seems like “Calvin the Robot” has a turntable inside his head, and the record is skipping. But that’s OK, because the Principal will create a new record to add to the collection.Speaking of theater, Miss Wormwood has seen many of Calvin’s performances over the years. Most of them are staged. He usually plays the role of the antagonist.Calvin doesn’t need to work from a script, because he is always capable of making a scene. Especially when he’s on a role.For Puddleglum — in today’s strip: “Exit, stage left!” (Snagglepuss)

@LX013: There’s the old joke about the guy who had a dog named Ben Hur. First he named the dog Ben, but then it had puppies.

Thanks for the bonus strips. The Non Sequitur one especially is brilliant!

The Principal: “AARGH! — Not YOU again!!”

There’s a reason why they say “Don’t try any of this stuff at home.” That includes school also.

Yes, Calvin, they do, but this is not drama class.
