“Do all the good you can,By all the means you can,in all the ways you can,in all the places you can,at all the times you can,to all the people you can,as long as you ever can.”John Wesley
Mark your calendars for the upcoming “Theodore Roosevelt” mini-series on the History Channel, starting Memorial Day 2022. I think it’s only two parts, but how they’re going to cram TR’s life of adventure into a matter of hours is a mystery to me.
Calvin just wants to do what HE wants to do, If you look at his vocabulary and his gadgets he is actually a super genius… He learned that from Wily E Coyote!
As opposed to the governor of Illinois who’s philosophy is: “Do what you can with how ever much money and raised fees you can take from the clueless population”

I wonder how Calvin will take advantage of that advice…

if you’re so against education, Calvin, then where did you read T.R.’s quote?

He’s got a kooshmaker… and a wave (un)guide…

Taft certainly didn’t say it when he was in the tub.

Wait, Calvin actually read something?

We never know what he has in the tub with him.

I guess all Calvin can do is reinvent Archimedes Principe.

It is indeed good advice. Too bad many of us are always complaining about what we don’t have instead of what we do have.

How can you be sure Teddy Roosevelt wasn’t in the tub when he said that? He didn’t get the nick name “Tubby” Roosevelt for nothing. Did he?

It was actually a teenage boy who said it first.

Teddy’s successor, William Howard Taft, had to have a specially fitted bathtub installed in the White House to accommodate his 400 lb. bulk.

This could well have resulted in ‘pass the soap Edith and I’ll scrub your back’

Yup, that sinking feeling when you are in a tub. Prefer showers!

and speaking of TR, I hope that everyone (in the US) has a wonderful President’s Day and for everyone else, a good Monday!

An odd time and place to think of that. Wait, …what did you do with the rubber duck?

Calvin is a bit young to do what he can with what he has.. in a tub

If Taft had said that then he would have been in the tub when he said it.

In the last panel, Calvin looks like Kilroy.

Probably said while denying a request for reinforcements. I recognize “military talk” when I hear it.

So, Calvin, get scrubbing, THEN do a cannonball from the edge of the tub.

You can do a lot in the tub, such as, plot the invasion of Normandy

Calvin has done plenty of damage just inside of the bathtub.

It would never occur to him that ‘getting nice and clean’ was a perfectly reasonable way to act on that advice.
