Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 02, 2023

Trotsky invented the cotton gin right after he fought in the Battle of Lexington in 1492.

It must’ve been thirsty work being stupendous man.

And the stupendous ability to take off a cape.

I’m amazed Calvin has even heard of Trotsky.

Stupendous

Having a pupil like Calvin must be a severe test of his teacher’s sanity.

So, Calvin grew up to be Robin Williams?

Too bad it was a math quiz.

Calvin is just doing his part to keep school counselors employed.

Panel 3 is hilarious!

Calvin’s mom is going to hit the bottle hard after the principal calls her this time.

Speaking of Gin, Miss Wormwood will most likely require a stiff one to recover from this! :D

But not thirsty for knowledge.

What would really be weird is if Calvin actually aces his test.

yeah, like you’re really fooling anyone, Calvin!

It’s been awhile since I read about Trotsky. Not sure I would have passed this kindergarten test.

Problem was …it was a math test!

This is – what, first grade? How does Calvin know about Trotsky and the Cotton Gin?

And he’s giving away all the answers. Though they may not be the right ones.

“Always brush your teeth”

Superheroes always give good advice.

Calvin needs to be in the drama club….Oy!

If only it hadn’t been a math test

Man, that kid’s got guts!

Screaming funny comic!

That was stupendous.

LOL! Just too funny!

That’s a lot of history being covered there…

Too bad it was a math quiz.

Yet another failed test.

He should know, even if anyone buys the dual identity thing, having someone else do your test for you (even superheroes) is illegal.

If I could go back in time and accomplish one thing, I would go back to first grade and do that.

Much more fun than actual learning.

WHERE is Hobbes when Calvin needs him the most??

He at least got the first question right. On February 23rd’s strip, under Calvin’s cough it appears to be “When did Columbus discover America?”

Hot to Trotsky

So the point was to take the test in a record short amount of time? Because all the time he wasted on his costume change and eluding capture need to be weighed in the balance.

I use KAPWINGGG a lot when I leave a room.

kapwinggg?

Even the students are concerned.

LOL at the way Stupendous Man does the test in the first panel! But those subjects are still a little advanced for first grade. I remember not being taught history lessons like those until second grade…

Stupendous Man, is here to save the day!!!

Panel #3 is absolutely priceless.

And there will be a stupendous de-watering prettysoon!

After the massacre the surviving students were interviewed by law enforcement. They had all tried to warn the school something like this was bound to happen but the adults would not listen.

I love the looks on the kids’ faces.

That’ll be another “F” for Calvin.

False, Taco Bell made the cotton gin and enslaved people to work for them.

so surprised Calvin wasn’t transferred to a special classroom to work with his behavior – of course if this were so we wouldn’t have seen the faces of his classmates in the past few days
