Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 04, 2023

Good to know Calvin has aims in life.

Now how to make it more challenging?

Mission accomplished.

Hobbies are ( usually ) a good thing to have !

Another strip I don’t remember at all.

Only one check mark per day? You’re kidding me.

The satisfaction of reaching your goal. You set an objective and you achieved it.

Sure he and Dennis aren’t related???

He should try chanting “I am so great!” at the same time.

If Calvin’s only aim in life is to purposely misbehave, even for him that’s mediocre

There’s a “sound” achievement for Calvin.

Now if he only put that kind of effort into his schoolwork…

I think my ex-husband operated along those same lines.

♫♪

I don’t want to go to school

I want to bang on the pot all day

I don’t want to go to school

I just want to bang on the pot all day

♪♫

What makes me think this cartoon will run all week long?

He aims to please…his ego….orneriness and defiance.

Next up, monetizing that check mark.

My mum hated this one because I used to quote this ALL the time :P

Cal is a form of living birth control

Yeah, my mother would likely have taken that spoon away from me and applied it to my back end and made me wash and dry the pot had I done that.

Clang clang, rattle Bing Bang. Gonna make my noise all day….

Reminds me of an old episode of the Simpsons.

He angered Mom…

Calvin Starr.

As my mother liked to tell me, “Insanity is hereditary- you get it from your kids.”

If he used a toaster he could have a fun song.

Hope Calvin doesn’t torment small animals, too ;-(

Make sure that the pan is badly tuned, Calvin.

Only 271 more days to go this year.

That’s what six year old boys do. Drive you up the wall.

He is practicing checking off the days on the calendar. This will come in handy when he is in prison

After a dozen swats Mom can add a check mark for Tuesday.

“Well, you were the one playing the cymbals!”

Calvin exhibits exceptional organizational skills.

Calvin wants other to be as crazy as him, poor lad.

Mom didn’t let us bang onpots and pans because of the noise but if she was busy cooking supper and wanted me and my sister to be occupied she would let us bang on the bottom of a tupperware bowl with a wooden sppon, doesn’t make as much noise.
