Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 02, 2011

Calvin, always at war with authority…

Oh, je! Evil teacher! I am out hikeing today, hopeing I’ll not meet such one!

love this strip.

Poor Mrs. Wormwood. She just wanted to teach kids the 3 R’s. Little did she know she’d end up labeled a “disgusting scum being” …

LOL Very good, Dogsniff

Poor Calvin, he never gets to do what he wants. Next thing you know; he’ll be hauled off in shackles and thrown into the dungeon . . . and forced to do . . . math; and spelling, and other creepy stuff like that.

It’s obvious why he’s an only child.

Monkey Act…ha ha

sounds painful

Only Calvin can turn the playground into Battlestar Galactica.

Strike! Strike! Strike!Longer recess!Longer nap time!Colder milk!The Children, united, will never be defeated!“Yes Mrs Wornwood, Coming.

You can never win against the scum beings, Calvin.

Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♣Lonweolf♠.

Back in the classroom:Spiff looks around the abode of the disgusting scum being and sees a sea of brainwashed fallen little heroes mouthing the same gibberish the awful alien is spouting. Our hero realizes his fate here so he bolts toward the door.

I love the Spaceman Spiff stories. Reminds me of every science fiction novel and short story I read in the 1960s.

Unfortunately, my first son was an angel. The second son was a lot like Calvin. If they hadn’t looked so much alike, people would’t have believed they were brothers.

I had the same teacher, really.

My brother had a similar experience, however, it was the principal who dragged him in from recess. My brother bit him on the hand, which didn’t help.

When recess ended, Calvin had two options: either go back into the classroom, or run and try to make it down the slide one more time. Not wishing to do the former, Calvin chose the ladder. And, with his teacher, the second choice seemed to Calvin to be a far more interesting pursuit.

How is Hobbes pronounced? Like Ho as in HO, Ho, Ho? Or as in Hobson’s Choice?

Umm Susan … Calvin’s six years old. At that age, pretty much all girls are icky. (Back in the 60’s girls had the cooties). Exceptions were somestimes made, if the girl was tough and didn’t mind getting dirty.

Awwwwwwww! LOL.. Poor Calvin.

xxxx

I don’t think Calvin likes the Establishment®

“When I fight authority, authority always wins.”

“The Authority Song” by John C. Mellencamp. He could have written this song for Calvin.

Oh, CHUTE! (get it? chutes and ladders?)

“Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone!”

- Pink Floyd

LOL

So close, Calving, but yet so far…

Has anyone ever thought about what Calvin & Meg would be like together?

That claw,poor spiffman there is no escape from that.

Spaceman Spiff is attempting to reach the Mothership while being pursued by the MotherLOAD, AKA,

Mrs. Wormword

Mrs. Wormwood looks like she’s been around for a while. She’s probably dealt with the likes of Calvin before.

The disgusting scum being only has four fingers, er, claws…wow…

Where’s your Mertilyzer when you need it?

Not to mention yet another trip to the principal’s office!

Ms. Wormwood is actually only in her twenties. Associating with Calvin has aged her prematurely!

haha!!!! get inside recess is OVER!!!!

I hate when it’s over.

Speaking of recess, the Senate now ‘went on recess’, and for a long time they have been acting like a ‘Calvin’. Little kids not knowing when enough is enough, and playing games with our future. Maybe next time they will get their act together before the last minute. This time, the damage is already done. Say hello to higher interest rates coming your way shortly.

that boy never changes!…

I love Calvin!! :) He reminds me of me as a child, lol. If a teacher actually laid a hand on a student now to make them behave, even if it were gently, they’d be fired or severely chastised. So stupid…
