Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 10, 2016

Sign that kid up for an Evelyn Wood speed reading class.

His parents haven’t learned what ominous silence means. Certainly not homework.

You’d think they’d have learned by the time Calvin was six, that prolonged quiet in a house with a little boy is never, ever a good sign.

He is doing his homework. He’s busy being a kid.

I never noticed how big Dad’s nose is compared to Calvin’s mom’s.

That was me at that age. Calvin is big time ADD.

Conveniently forgetting, of course, that it would take “Calvin the Human Insect” two days to climb the staircase to his room…

20 minutes? My boys get about 20 seconds before I get suspicious.

Don’t bet on it. Calvin’s homework should be more closely supervised.

Another 20 minutes later, Dad comes upstairs to check on Calvin and there are shreds of paper all over the floor!

I can’t remember having homework at age 6. What would it have been? Practice spelling C-A-T and D-O-G?

As long as he reads the pages prior to turning them.

It’ll take another 30 minutes for you to take a trip to the library.
