Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 27, 2020

Don’t they have the National Geographic (NatGeo) channel? Oh, I forgot — Dad says not having cable builds character.

Either way, Calvin will learn something. It’s all educational!

good try, Calvin

But on a Thursday, that was NBC’s big night!

…and Calvin only likes to read Comic books. Stop complaining!

Mom’s right. Tigers just can’t write decent book reports.

Hobbes has good taste in movies.

Calvin almost misses the duplicates……..almost..

So watch a nature documentary, Hobbes. You must get PBS there.

Hmm. Does anyone remember having homework in the first grade? For that matter does anyone remember the first grade?

I know others have pointed it out, but I still love how that little teeny TV (even for mid-80s standards) is so “active” that it literally leaps into the air while showing a TV broadcast… :-P

It will help make you smart like Hobbes, Calvin.

There should have been a strip, where Hobbs told Calvin about something that happened at the house while he was away at school. When he mentions it to the parents they could have looked puzzled/scared and turned to stare at Hobbs

Thank god for Classics Illustrated!!

Moms are always so smart!

Have to admit that’s one of the better excuses I’ve heard.

Too bad he hasn’t learned to multi task. Today’s school kids can watch tv, listen to music, check texts, update Facebook AND read the their school assignments all at the time.

Hobbes would love “Nature of Things” on CBC.

Especially the “Tiger Porn Channel.”

My father established strict controls on TV time – with a loophole that “educational programming” didn’t count.

Most of what was on NPR was deemed “educational”.

I watched a LOT of nature documentaries as a kid.

Not true, Hobbes. I’ve seen you enjoy “Looney Tunes.” Or did you take that as a nature documentary?

Hobbes Loves David Attenborough.

BBC America’s nature flicks..well watch a few.

That’s Hobbes – all ‘Fang and Claw.’
