Ginger Meggs by Jason Chatfield for July 08, 2022

I believe Calvin and his father had a similar conversation.

In Ginger’s defense, he HAS been stuck in school for about a hundred years now.

I attended the same school for a few years my dad taught at. If I got sent to the Principal’s office, it had better have been for something positive because dad’s response time was measured in seconds if it wasn’t.

“Justice may not be blind, but it could do with glasses.”

From the movie – My Cousin Vinny (1992)

Vinny Gambini: So, as your eyes become more and more out of whack, as you’ve gotten older, how many levels of thickness have you gone through?

Constance Riley: I don’t know, over 60 years, maybe 10 times.

Vinny Gambini: Maybe you’re ready for a thicker set.

Today’s strip brings to mind the movie, Freaky Friday.

“Mr. Meggs what are you doing here? "

“I’m teaching Ginger how much easier he has it here in school. What’s this?”

“A test. If Bob leaves Alice Springs and is traveling west at 200km/hr and Fred is traveling south from Sydney, at 400km/h how many times will they circle the globe in their respective directions, before they collide with each other? Bonus question Which country will they collide in?”

“Mr. Canehard. I think I now know why Ginger likes skipping school to go fishing so often.”
