Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 18, 2020

Be happy he didn’t have to use a flamethrower to stop the book’s rampage.

Ah, yes. I’ve had similar battles with my textbooks many times.

Is that the Monster Book of Monsters? (Harry Potter reference)

We get that you hate math homework, Calvin, but c’mon.

Munch, munch, munchabuncha Fritos…… That earworm ought to stick with you a while.

The book had to eat his paper. He doesn’t have a dog, and Hobbs has too much class to stoop to anything like that.

The look on Calvin’s face when the book ate the paper!

Soon everyone will be wise to your brand of BS!!!

People who break book spines should be sentenced (so to speak) to library hell.

Calvin, one of the rare and gifted anthropomorphists.

Friend: Name three books that made you cry.Me: The New Mathematics,Algebra I,Introduction to Physics.

Love the Dinosaurs, can’t get enough of well drawn Dinosaurs…..

A carnivorous book? Who would’ve known?

That would be a liberivorous book

I love the noises the pencil (“yipe”) and the paper (“eek”) make.

And the book belch

Is the book related to the bike?

And now his parents have to pay for the book.

It reminds me of differential equations and linear algebra around 1976-7, long before the internet could show what they are visually instead of abstractions.

Great, now I have to worry about cannibal books.

Years ago when I used to work in Montreal, my boss called in on a Monday morning to say he had been knocked out by an elephant at the Granby Zoo the day before and that he still wasn’t feeling well. We all had a good laugh thinking he probably just over did it on the weekend until the local radio station reported the incident.

Are you having problems with math?! And make it quick; I have to leave for work in 4!/sqrt(2π) minutes!

Gotta LOVE his daydream world! :D

It reminds me of differential equations and linear algebra when I could have used some imagination. Back in 1976-7, they were abstractions with no internet to visualize them.

Homework: part of a balance diet for hungry books.

I love the vividness of his imagination. Hoping it stays that lively into adulthood.

Calvin is out doing his self. What is 1 +1 Calvin?

The vividness of Calvin’s imagination is astounding.

Calvin needs to see a Therapist, FAST!

Hehehe

The modern equivalent: “The Internet ate my homework.”

My school books usually just put me to sleep.

That is a great last line.

Not an unknown phenomena, the Grimoires of the Unseen University can be very feisty and many require very special precautions to prevent ‘accidents’ (Discworld reference)

I was pretty good at homework. But, I certainly don’t miss it.
