Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 30, 2018

A. Americanus Maternus

Ah, the fake fossil storyline. I love this one.

So Mom’s name is Lucy?

Mom’s next line: You can remember the word Australopithecus, but you can’t remember your homework?

Calvin is gonna need more than a garden shovel to clean up his room.

Calvin is apparently taking that as a “yes.”

Good morning! – haven’t been here for a wee bit, and wondered what happened to the contributor that drew his own version of the strip?

I’ve heard this story arc is a really great one. I’ve never seen it before, so this should be a fun week!

That’s a lot of syllables. Just call it “momosaurus.”

Ok who just Googles Australop… that word…lol

Homo momisgrouchyus was found later that day.

It always kills me how Calvin knows all these big words and how to pronounce them but still does poorly in school.

Australopithecus, in English is “Southern Ape”.
