There was a set of commercials on TV where the parents cooked a healthy meal and the kid refuses to eat it so they give them mac and cheese instead. Another has the parent bribing the kid to eat by giving them french fries. For some reason younger people are suffering from digestive problems nowadays.
How short is he, even sitting on a dictionary his nose is barely above the table and he was able to remove a tire? In the second panel his legs are so short they don’t even hang over the book he is siting on.
It looks like Mom is having a glass of wine with the salmon. I wonder how many glasses or bottles she socks away during a typical day of dealing with Calvin?
Sounds like the right answer to me. Granted, I don’t really understand new math. It’s less about adding and subtracting numbers and more about figuring out how the numbers feel about being added and subtracted and whether consent was given before multiplying…
I agree Calvin, Salmon sucks. And it stinks up the house for a week no matter how you cook it and I don’t care about how those Omega 3 fatty acids are good for you.

That was also General Sherman’s answer when they asked him to subtract something.

Atlanta, Georgia is never the right answer.

Mom said “yes” to two things Calvin will never do.

“Atlanta, Georgia” means that Hobbes wants something to drink too.

Why does Hobbes get suckered into doing his homework!!!!
Liverlips McCracken Premium Member over 3 years ago
That was a reasonable guess. When there’s no penalty for a wrong answer, it pays to guess.

Mom should know better by now. I’m really surprised she bought that.

Calvin looks like the “Kilroy was here” in P1.
The Reader Premium Member over 3 years ago
You’re overthinking it. Georgia is implied!
BigDaveGlass over 3 years ago
First panel, “Kilroy was here”

Why in the world would she let Calvin do that knowing the type of child he is? I swear, I think sometimes his parents ask for trouble!

you may be getting an F, even though at this rate you and your parents are pretty used to seeing that grade of yours.

What parent is going to trust their kid to eat a meal out of their sight, when he’s already issued the opinion of “Blaughhh!”?!?

How can someone not like salmon?

This has to be an extremely tough question. Usually, tigers are very good at subtraction.
Redd Panda over 3 years ago
I’ll eat almost anything, but Salmon? Barrff! Leave them for the bears.
kab2rb over 3 years ago
Would not make the story, mom needs to add cheese to that fish or what Calvin likes assed.

If Hobbes is this dumb, then Calvin must be-

First: Mom, don’t tell him it’s salmon, say it’s dragon meat. Second: Hobbes,the answer to everything(especially math) is 42.
Nate Wright (Mischief God) over 3 years ago
Definitely A++

…like Calvin asking to eat something strange while doing his homework wouldn’t raise half a dozen red flags…

I lived a bit in Atlanta. Good target for subtraction.

Nice to know there’s one subject on which Hobbes is not as smart as Calvin.

Love salmon. A lot of fish I find to be bland in taste but salmon has real flavor.

Hobbes’s arthmetic fiasco gains salmon chunks. What more can the feline ask.
