Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 30, 2021

This plan works great for boys in cartoon strips but not those in real life.

Then the teacher will test to see if Calvin really is paying attention, because they know it’s out of character for him and inevitably get busted. What a great day it will be!

I’d like to know how Calvin was able to half a ball without adult supervision. (If his father had an extra pair of glasses with frames the size of the ball, Calvin would pop the lenses out and the ball halves in or glue the ball halves onto the lenses.)

If Calvin’s dad did that at the beach, he’d get slapped.

I laughed so stinkin’ hard at this. I just love his little arm on his hip. And Hobbes! So blasé …

Say, do you think Calvin may be thinking about staring in a Popeye cartoon?

Reminds me of the “aliens” in The Mole People movie from the 50’s. Look at their faces, and it looks like they used 1/2 of an egg shell (extra large), except they cut a hole in the middle so they could see!!

Easy way to get caught napping!

Ping, the alien from planet Pong.

I wonder which State they live in where school teachers work on the day before New Year’s Day? Don’t they have to prepare the onion seeds on their Rose Bowl parade float?

Reminds me of the “Three Stooges” when Curly drew eyes on his eye lids. Funny!

Thats a pretty good idea, I wonder if I could get away with it on a video conference call? So far I have had to make do with sunglasses or a happy avatar.

Just add bloodshot lines to make it look like you were up all night studying

Did that once with egg carton bottom pieces for that Marty Feldman effect. It was hilarious.

Actually, you look more like you’re overcaffeinated…

Real life says, he’ll cut himself. Ping pong balls are tough. I speak from experience.

How many times have i heard ‘’What were you doing? … What were you thinking?’’

Where I worked there were plastic safety glasses available everywhere and everybody had a second pair which they had drawn weird stuff on with magic markers. Occasionally a group would put theirs on and to into someone’s office or lab for a laugh….great fun.

Jeez, Calvin looks like an extra in the movie I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE!!

Kermit the Frog eyes.

When he wears those and looks at Suzy, he will be sent to the principal’s office for sexual harassment.

Curtis you will not fool your teacher.

Believe it or not this is a meditation technique which creates a blank “ganzfeld” in your field of vision. After a while you start to imagine seeing things. DON’T try this standing up. :)

Obsessed with school? Calvin does not look Asian. Then again, are there any children of color at Calvin’s school?

Then the next day, the fire alarm sounds. Calvin is sitting there staring into space while the rest of the class evacuates.

Buy some stick-on googly eyes and put them on pictures of your pets and family. Riot! :-D

Surely gag glasses would work better?

The origin story of researcher Reese Fowler, who was exposed to the radioactive isotope-laden rainfall of Annex One.

Maybe poke a pin through the center to allow him to at least point the right way.

Pinholes.

OMG OMG — LOLOL — This struck me as so funny

The problem with comic strips is that this kind of stunt doesn’t make Calvin look much different.

Did he guest star on an episode of the Outer Limits?https://theouterlimits.fandom.com/wiki/The_Mutant?file=MUTANT.PNG

Looks less like an attentive student and more like Marty Feldman or Rodney Dangerfield to me!

The teacher will wonder when a Muppet joined her class.

Now Calvin looks like Bart Simpson, which is not a good look to emulate. But it does pose a question….. which kid would have the upper hand to get away with what they do?
