Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 29, 2008

Ah, yes. That fine line between ‘now’ and ‘later.’

Oh so true!

Is this like having your sandwich made and eating too?

That’s like the South asking for a couple of million in aid after firing on Ft. Sumpter.

Something tells me that the card trick didn’t work…

cool

geez mum… can’t believe she even THOUGHT about not doing it (humph)

For someone who suffers from AD/HD, Calvin has an amazing ability to organize. “Sandwiches and supplies…” Look at how long that list is! Maybe he’ll make it to the Yukon and become a champion snow machine racer.

Who in the world said Calvin suffers from AD/HD? Personally I always thought he was a pretty well grounded kid with a active imagination.

Whew a sled…. I was worried they were going to try and take the time machine… the sled should work out much better… well as long as there is snow in the Yukon… Is there snow in the Yukon? I mean I have heard about the Yukon all my life but now that I think about it I am not sure exactly where it is….

Yukon is the westernmost and smallest of Canada’s three territories. Not the place I’d choose to go…even if they have cheep meds.

Ah, the sled, Calvin’s winter-time wagon.

Wenthral says: Who in the world said Calvin suffers from AD/HD? I believe someone proposed that theory recently, as a possible explanation of his troubles with school. Others say that he’s just too intelligent for his grade. AD/HD or not, that list is remarkably long for a kid that age.

When i was young we didn’t have ad/hd it was called being a kid and having a lot of energy and imagination now we want to medicate the kid right out of them. Calvin is just a typical little boy.

freedomroze, I suspect that one day you will be proven right.

Yukon is right up next to Alaska, but it’s not as nice because you can’t see Russia from it.

Will Calvin’s mommy fall for it? I bet Calvin’s parents will not fall for that silly idea Calvin has. Wait and see till the new strip will post next day.

Calvin’s soo right :)

AD/HD is way overdiagnosed. Credible studies show less than 2% of kids have real Ad/Hd of some form. Vs the diagnosis rate of %25. Schools just want an excuse to drug them up to make them easier to manage. I like Calvin’s teacher because she does it the old fashioned way. As other commenters have noted, Calvin is not AD/HD - his adventures show a remarkable attention span, in fact. The truth is - school is b-o-r-i-n-g.

she is so selfish!

lol om my goodness. see i told you mom wouldn’t go for it.

A soon to be kidless mom.

Say hi to Cornelius, Calvin.

dude you are seceding from ur family? anyhow LOL! making your mom make u sandwiches awesome

The Yukon is a great place!

I wonder how quickly Calvin would change his tune if Mom and Dad said

“Let’s take a trip to Nebraska and we’ll just drop you off at the Hospital in Lincoln”

:-)

It’s not ad/hd.It’s the Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs.

No, before firing on Ft. Sumter. ‘expecting foreign occupation stop please send arms stop’

to Stuart Gathman: If you do some research about ADHD and the meds you would know that if you give a child the meds and they get “wired” as if they were on speed (which is basicly what the meds are)then they aren’t ADHD. With my two children the meds had a proxial effect like it is supose to. They were able to sit and listen to a story, actually finish their homework without a meltdown and kids would play with them because they were in better control of their bodies. I thank God everyday for the ADHD meds-Medidate rocks!

In a series Malcolm in the Middle, his oldest brother Francis emancipated himself from the family and moved to Canada. Maybe it was Yukon :)
