Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 22, 2019

Susie, you already know the answers to the questions you asked.

It’d be great hanging around Calvin for the pure entertainment value.

I’m 57, and collecting insects has had no importance in my life…

I would have thought that Calvin, of all people, would have had a great bug collection.

If someone had told him, "Don’t you dare go anywhere near a bug, he would have had a world class collection in no time.

Don’t bother, Susie. Obviously Calvin is just more of your time wasted.

Despite what a lot of people think, Calvin hates bugs. They keep attacking him on other planets.

some entomologist Calvin will be (he only cares about being a tigerologist)

Well Calvin, tigers eat bugs, so you could go to Hobbes and look.

Pointless Nature project 2 (1 was back in 2015)

Now if it was Dinosaurs, Calvin would have everyone that died.

Calvin’s philosophy is never put off to the next day when you can wait 30 days (or so)

It’s unusual that this seems like a new storyline, even though there is a connection to the previous one. Usually, most storylines are neatly wrapped up and then forgotten when the next one starts, and Calvin playing with the box the beanie came in seemed like a wrap-up of that one.

I do like Cal’s comment.

LOL! Calvin’s panicking trying to catch bugs—-and he doesn’t even have anything with him to store them in!

Calvin’s comeback is amazing. Such sass.

Let’s see now Suzy-Q, to answer your questions:1) No. 2) My imagination and Tiger friend take me to places that eclipse this petty school project.3) Usually, in class4) Absolutely not, and5) No.

Susie must like dealing with lost causes.

I love the punchline. Even when they are right, nobody likes a critic.

Well, Calvin does care, eventually.

I’d rather have Calvin’s quick wit than good grades…

Well Susie, in all cases the answer is no.

I, myself have been guilty of doing my homework on the bus the morning it was due!;o}

Calvin has a fabulous vocabulary and a titanic imagination, which would make him a great author if only he could sit down and do it. Of course, he’s fictional (which we all tend to forget), so we won’t be reading any books by him. I think I’d enjoy being his dad, and laugh at the antics and wonder at the imagination. What memories I’d have! My kids are grown up now, but we still laugh at all the things they did that were so exasperating but now are great memories.

Susie, let him fail.

IT’S NOT ABOUT THE BUGS!

It’s about sorting, organizing, displaying, research. Many jobs use these skills every day when the boss hands you a project and expects a report at the end of the week.

my son was Almost that bad

Calvin, Calvin, Calvin: “You can catch more flies with honey!”

Perfect wife for Calvin….they are acting like a married couple already…..

We have some rollie pollies in the backyard.

All projects, whether inane or not, often has a lesson plan involved that encompasses other things. For example, there may be a lesson involving dinosaurs that could encompass something biological, nature, writing, reading comprehension, drawing and so forth. That being said, I wonder what kind of a man Calvin grew up to be and what his profession was.

Not important until you try to figure out if it is a termite or a fire ant that is on your house.

The knack of doing things at last minute is something which is done by brilliant intellectuals. Calvin belongs to that category.

Nice one, calvin

The best part of that last panel is that you know Calvin isn’t trying to insult her, he’s actually serious.
