Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 23, 2023

One thing superheroes have to learn is deceit.

Second time’s the charm.

A job for Calvin if there ever was one.

yayyyyyyyyyy ! this is a good one !

Hmm, I was expecting something more from Calvin. He’s usually more creative than that.

Can’t wait for his plan to backfire!!

I went to one school where — for first grade — there was a water fountain in the classroom.

Stupendous Man in stupendous collision rute…

1492.

It must be something in the water.

Yesterday, someone suggested Calvin ask permission to go for a drink of water and someone else replied, “No spoilers.” I was also accused of spoilers yesterday. I have tried to avoid saying much about this marvellous story arc – which many of us remember – save that it was one of Bill Watterson’s own favourites, that it involves Stupendous Man against the Crab Teacher and it lasts two weeks. There are many memorable quotes from it that I am refraining from using.

Oh no

Actually, I had been hoping for Oracle Head…https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/2023/02/21

Stupendous man got all the brains. Poor Calvin.

I was watching uncensored clips from Whose Line is it Anyway? last week. In the “scenes from a hat” game, the scene was “unlikely superheroes”. Colin Mochrie’s superhero was Sh*tman. LOL

And so his adventure begins….

What could go wrong☹️

I doubt they have history test in first grade. At the end of first grade a student is expected to have a reading vocabulary of about 60 words.

Oh, no… It’s way worse than a bomb OR a severed head! Just stop, Calvin. If it didn’t work before, what makes you think it’ll work now?

Oh no!

Love the look on Cal’s face in panel #2. He sells his thirst well

Stupendous man will likely earn a trip to the principal’s office and possibly a paddling.

Principal is gonna love this one and so are Mom and Dad

What, no phone booth?

Calvin spends more time and effort cheating that he would have used if he had only studied for the test ;-)

Why learn about history when you can MAKE history?

“And so it begins…”

Dehydrated Man!

Can Stupendous man beat Miss Wormwood? Tune in tomorrow, same stupendous time, same stupendous channel!

Stupendous Man?

Yep, this is my favorite Stupendous Man story arc!

If only he had used his powers for good…

This is going to be good, one of my favorite arcs.

Calvin is about to demonstrate how to get an “F” on a test.

At least Calvin did not try to become Wonder Woman!

…Booger Man!
