Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 15, 2024

Next, Calvin blames the teacher for even giving Calvin a homework assignment.

Gee Mom, don’t you realize that this is your fault?

Don’t Calvin’s parents and teachers know that homework assignments, deadlines, and the very concept of grading are stressful and hazardous to his self-esteem? Thank goodness we live in more enlightened times. (BWAHAHAHAHAHA!)

This is totally different from a recent arc on “For Better or For Worse”, where Elly did April’s pre-K project. I’m on Mom’s side here!

Order some from Acme.

Calvin’s penchant for blaming others means that, when he is older, he is qualified to be President. Or, more accurately, qualified to be elected President. Ain’t that sumthin’.

All parents pitch in for the best projects, don’t they?

He gots a point ya knows. Other parents woulda help theirs kids with that.

Try a plum, an olive, some shaved carrot peels, toothpicks, and a couple of googly eyes.

Ask Mom to make some homemade play dough. Water, flour, salt, vegetable oil, cream of tartar, and food coloring. Easy-peasy.
