Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 03, 2022

It would have been even more fun if Calvin had brought Hobbes along to read it.

That’s ingratitude for you, especially after Hobbes the Handsome Tiger saved the day.

Everybody’s a critic.

More evidence that Hobbes is real: if Calvin himself wrote the story, why does he seem genuinely surprised when he read the title?

Unless he’s a REALLY good actor.

Just as I was expecting when I posted yesterday …

Hobbes made your homework and he wrote what he likes.

That’s what you get for not doing it yourself Calvin.

Truth hurts….

If Hobbes is imaginary doesn’t that mean Calvin is reading an empty paper?

Guess that time traveling is a poor way to use time.

Can’t stand the truth, Calvin??

Probably should have proof-read it before class…

I wonder if Hobbes grew up to be a Presidential speech writer?

Calvin has the best angry expressions!

So far, so good.

I work in quality systems, where documentation is everything.

Strong case here for proofreading….

Reminds me of a few assignments I wrote while on the bus to school. It was obvious to my teachers, and later to my parents after the teachers called, I had done them on the bus. To say my parents were displeased upon occasion with my efforts at the alchemy of academe (math mostly) led to consequences.

These stuffed tigers should come with a warning label: Never trust a tiger to help with homework.

Titled, not entitled. Sheesh!

I love how neither adult called him out for not seeming to know the content of his own story…

If this ends up in smooches with Susie Derkins, Calvin’s head will explode…

In reality, which we’re here to avoid, Calvin wrote the story making Hobbes the hero of the evening’s adventures, which is a wonderfully creative work. Next up Shakespeare and Hobbes.

It’s going to have a surprise ending.

Bill W is Calvin.

OK, laugh out loud today. The last panel of Calvin is priceless.

But on a positive note – he got an A for his creative writing assignment.

LOL!!!!!!!

Ooo I can’t wait to hear this! Ha! I hope we get to!

OK, if Hobbes is a stuffed animal, alive only in Calvin’s imagination, who wrote this story – Calvin would not have said this about himself

Hobbes did in fact write the story, the claw marks on the paper are a dead give away

Calvin’s so irresponsible he didn’t even read it ahead of time.

No one believed Elwood Dowd, when he said Harvey was real either.

Epic face from Calvin in the last panel! Hobbes has done it again!

Hi guys I’m new here and I’ve heard of this strip, what is it about? Can you give me some pointers?

This is sad. Calvin clearly has a dissociative disorder of some type (unless the DSM has changed terminology since I last looked).

I am sure the Teacher will love it….. Hobbes always saves the day.

Schizophrenics often surprise themselves.

The one thing you really can’t do here is try to make sense of Calvin’s universe, by trying to apply the rules of our universe. You might as well try to understand how Wile E. Coyote is repeatedly blown up, run over and smashed by boulders, yet emerges completely recovered in the next scene.

One of the downsides to having multiple personality disorder.

At least the furball made up the homework which you could not do by time travel for hours. Fit case for a tuna sandwich.

Calvin’s line in the first panel should have concerned Miss Wormwood.
