I don’t know about tigers, but most cats eat the head first. Cats need taurine (they are unable to make it themselves) and brains are full of taurine. So it should be headless bodies laying around…
Wasn’t there an episode of the Simpsons where they discovered Homer had shoved crayons up his nose as a kid, they got lodged in his brain, and when they were removed he was suddenly a genius?
First of all, what a lousy assignment. Lots of kids have no pets. Second, how disheartening that even in the ’80s, kids could get sent to the principal for something as benign as a drawing.
Reminds me of the time in art class I had some extra clay. I made a guillotine with a body and a separate head. I read about them recently and thought it was interesting, Later, as an adult, my Mom tells me she was called to school to discuss my art work. She said it took her a while to convince them it was nothing to worry about and did not need counseling. All they had to do was ask me, and I would have explained it.

Calvin feels completely mislead by the orange crayon.

I just realized the joke in the last panel.
The principal knows Calvin’s art style because Calvin’s been sent to the principal’s office before for drawing grotesque artwork.

does anyone know of any historical, well-gifted six-year-olds that can draw extremely well?

Comics like this one make me more sure that Calvin is a certified schizophrenic. :) (y)

Maybe Hobbes drew it Calvin, but it was your idea.

Fine, you didn’t draw it, someone else did. So how long have you been cheating on your homework?

I think Calvin should be allowed to take his case to an arbitration committee or panel.

Wow. Only in today’s environment could that land Calvin in the principal’s office. Offensensitivity, anyone?
