Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 28, 2023

Any six year old who can use the words “augmented” and “audit,” is clearly learning something in school.

I guess all he can do is wing it!

So what we’re learning here is that Calvin is a waste of time and money?

Just at least applaud him for creating a thinking cap.

The big brain forgot about that part.

So…will Mom write the paper for him? Or will Calvin have to suffer the consequences of his inaction?

Get ready for a deficit budget then, Calvin.

“No one expects the Spanish Auditors”. I apologize to the “Monty Python” team……..

A little parental supervision or guidance would help. :P.

Yeah, holy IRS mode, Mom.

Cal stated what is a familiar complaint for a long list of people.

He’s six. The teacher can’t require that detailed of a report.

The auditor is always just around the corner, Calvin.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition or an IRS audit.

Show Mom the illustrations, Calvin.

The kid WANTS to write the paper, Mom – take it and run!

No one ever does…

Calvin is strictly an “idea man”. Unfortunately, he’s not able to translate it into writing.

I hope those thoughts are in order, Calvin…those audits can be quite a pain!

Nobody expects a good audit.

No one ever does. :)

Funny, I get audited mid-sentence all the time!

Too bad his augmented thinking cap resulted in diminished results

Poor sad little Calvin, evil shrew mom…

Nobody ever does Calvin, but with 87,000 armed IRS agents anything is possible.

Perhaps you should just turn in the illustrations and claim you were communicating in pictograms. (Hey, it worked for the ancient Egyptians!)

Your move, Mom.
