Technically, Calvin is correct. He just delivered his line to a porcelain audience (which thankfully didn’t give him a standing ovation…THAT would’ve been straight out of “Little Nemo in Slumberland”).
I did a show once where the leading lady kept missing her entrances. One matinee, she missed one where the next line depended on her entrance. The people on stage tried to cover it, and one of them ad libbed, “Uh, yeah, we gotta pull Johnny outta that girl!”.And then he realized what he’d said. :D

You have to feel bad for Mrs. Wormwood; she was stuck with Calvin in her class for 10 years.

Just a few days ago, his mom was upset that his dad didn’t want to go to the play. Now, it appears, that mom didn’t go either.

A neglected child. Neither one went to see him perform. No wonder Calvin is the way he is.

Calvin should have gone to the toilet earlier. I have a travel motto: “Always drain before you plane.”Teach it to your kids.

Say what you want about that kid, but he always has his priorities straight.

What has always bothered me about this particular strip is that a stay at home mom didn’t go to school to see the little play put on by the kids.

Really sad that his mom didn’t go see him. It’s not like she was working.. I don’t get it.

Sorry I’m late everybody. A bit of stomach flu and a trip to the hospital delayed my morning commenting.
