Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 05, 2017

The last option will only make the tear bigger.

Put your shorts up so that the tear only shows your shirt

Just get a sewing machine, some thread, and sew it back together.

The last option would be a bit too cheeky even for Calvin.

Run home, Calvin! Get Mom to call the school while you change your pants. She might even take enough sympathy on you to let you stay home the rest of the day and tell the school you were suddenly taken ill on the playground and then you can get out of doing the math problem on the blackboard.

At this rate school will be over for the day before he figures something out.

I think it will be a trip to the Principle’s office

at Calvin’s age I never really cared when that type of accident happened. I guess I had no sense of shame

This will be known as ‘The Calvin shuffle’.

In scientific parlance, Calvin has now become a gluteopod.

Perfect!

It’s a little late now, but I wish GoComics would update so that you’d be notified when someone replied to your comment.

Oh, that wouldn’t look conspicuous. Sigh!

Maybe just go to the office, so they can call your mom to bring you different pair of pants to change into.

Three words, Calvin: the nurse’s office.

Maybe you can skive off school and hopefully Miss Wormwood won’t notice?

Nah.
