Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 28, 2023

Stupendous Man needs to work on his spelling.

U for underwear again.

Her “Schemes” still have a better chance than Stupendous man ever will.

Thwarted by the forces of evil. Again.

I like how the “S” just stands for the word he’s spelling out. (Well, attempting to, anyway.)

Miss Wormword, if you can psychoanalyze Calvin, you’ll be teaching at the University level.

His parents need a new approach with him; new therapist, drugs, a new program for others like him!!

i dunno, seems miss wormwood missed a spelling lesson opportunity here. Seriously, haven’t we all had teachers who definitely fell short of the mark? and kids can tell, they can see when teachers are not understanding them or the joy of learning!

Out of control kids that you can do nothing about is the leading cause of early retirement in teaching !

Faster than a speeding snail?

Stupendous Man has to spell out his name as he goes into action? He’s as bad as Team Rocket.

I was dragged to the Principal like that, in first grade. My gym teacher was stronger than I was.

5 more years til retirement….5 more years.

N for Nutjob.

You need a short theme song, Stupendous Man!

Miss Wormwood was courageous for looking in Calvin’s locker. Who knows what could be in there?

In Calvin’s eyes, isn’t Miss Wormwood pulling him by his arm rather than just escorting him to the Principal’s office tantamount to child abuse ??

Disciplinarians? Shows how old this strip is!

The Count always wondered what the “Stupendous” in Stupendous Man stood for. How bout those apples?

OY! Calvin! Wait til your father gets home!

Teachers – Jack of all trades !

The “Ka-chunk” of a locker door latch, that brings back memories.

By the time Cal spells out his super name school will be over – for the summer

Poor Ms. Wormwood. It would have been interesting to see what she would have done when all of that woke crap came along.

How about U for UNHINGED and S for STUPIDITY?

Red underwear: the secret to his superpower!

This is my favorite strip of the arc.

True Calvin, you cannot be taught that which you are unwilling to learn.

LOL!!

Miss Wormwood will have some interesting stories to relate to her fellow retirees.

Teacher’s are our babysitters, yes I am being sarcastic, but it’s true. My daughter in law is a teacher.

“T FOR TIGER…FEROCITY OF” Hahahaha, that one made me laugh extra hard because it reads like a dictionary entry.

Kids will just shorten it to STUPID

Maybe he can work on his spelling in detention. He’ll probably get a lot of it.

Nobody’s going to take you seriously as a superhero if you can’t spell your own name.

“Your nefarious scheme will never succeed.” Nice alliteration. Miss Wormwood should have replied, “Never say ‘never succeed’, nitwit superhero.”

Surprising how Mrs Wormwood is missing the rich adjectives spelt perfectly by this six year old. She will retire without ever knowing this ingenious boy.

Nefarious schemes never work out.

Less time on (trying to) spell out your Stupendous name, and more time trying to escape Crab Teacher, Stupendous Man!

He’s the ace, he’s amazing

He’s the strongest he’s the quickest he’s the best

Stupendous Man! Stupendous Man! Stupendous Maaaaan!

I have a theory that one of the reasons that so many of us of a certain age follow “Calvin” involves the little demon that was in all of us at that age. We were just too shy or too well disciplined or just didn’t have the nerve to let the rascal out. Now we can have the fun of seeing what would have happened had we done so – and mostly feel glad that we didn’t, but sometimes….

I think If he spelled “M-A-R-V-E-L”, the “L” would be “Let’s go to the principal’s office”.

Is there a Calvin anywhere in this world? In other words, is there such a kid?

The "N"is for noodle,incidentally.

Teachers have a lot of hard work and put up with a lot of shite.

All the same the bar is low, with all too much do it by the numbers and rote memorization. Teachers with passion, who really get students involved and thinking are infrequent standouts that make a real impact.

They don’t pay her enough for that crud.

Superhero wear isn’t under-wear. A short unitard as part of it. See Astroboy.

U…for underwear red! Hilarious!

In Calvin and Company there is a mention of Miss Wormwood, see 3rd comic down https://kahoonica.knesia.com/2018/01/calvin-and-company-comic-strip.html

You thInk Calvin learned something from all his comic books.
