She’s not easy, Calvin…

It was worth a shot.
Yukoner said, 3 months ago

Good try Calvin. I remember being on both ends of that action in high school. Good in math and English, lousy in French and chemistry.
vibjyor said, 3 months ago

At least question number one is done. Great !
pouncingtiger said, 3 months ago

You can’t fool Susie, fool.
sjoujke said, 3 months ago

The math homework was certainly tricker than Calvin.
comYics said, 3 months ago

How insulting, calvin.
Carmy said, 3 months ago

Really Calvin, Susie knows you all too well!

Calvin, you have to be sneaky.
Dino-1 said, 3 months ago

I did great in Science in school but struggled through all Math but Physics class which made perfect sense.
♠Lonewolf♠ said, 3 months ago

C’mon Calvin, you can do better than that. This just isn’t adding up!
Johanan Rakkav said, 3 months ago

Math? Physics? Chemistry? Other sciences? English? French? Loved them all and many more. (So I was the asked, not the asker.)

The only courses that threw me off in any major way were certain kinds of phys. ed., shop and (until I hit my stride) drafting. But it took me until well into adulthood to discover a class that I absolutely LOATHED: accounting! :))

I find this all the funnier - and wonderfully explainable - thanks to having learned some Jungian typology. I have a feeling Calvin is going to loathe anything like accounting too.

Very Clever!! :)
Calvin will do wonderfully well in the corporate world! Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V are after all the most used shortcut keys!!

Johanan

Accounting, undergrad..My professor said I would go to prison

Accounting, grad..My professor said I would run a successful company.

Same “accepted” accounting methods

Calvin should be my CEO

You just know its’s gonn be a good one when it starts… “Hey Suzie…”

Miss Wormwood!
Susan001 said, 3 months ago

I can still remember counting on my fingers while trying to learn arithmetic in first grade.
Could be why math was one of my weakest subjects in school.

BTW, Calvin and Susie really ought to team up. With her smarts and his imagination, they could be a howling success at most any venture they tried.
Johanan Rakkav said, 3 months ago

Susan001: Yeah, I know. ENFP Calvin and INTJ Susie. Mutual Pedagogues. Voted the Couple Most Likely to Take Over the World in their senior yearbook in high school.

Both of them are brilliant, just in different ways. Calvin just needs to gain some focus: typical ENFP stumbling block.

(This man came up with the terms describing relationships between Jungian personality types, such as Pedagogues:)

Lewreader: Calvin might well make a great CEO (take that as you will), but I still think he’d make a lousy accountant (ditto)! If he were the opposite, a budding ISTJ, it would be different. As it is, he’s too imaginative and sensitive ever to love accounting. Managing his own company - that’s something else. ENFPs often do and do it well.

Whether Calvin would do any of the above ethically…that question transcends personality typing! :)
Herocoder said, 3 months ago

Well .. we atleast have one correct now .. rest to go ..
Macushlalondra said, 3 months ago

I’m surprised she didn’t see through that before giving him the first answer. She must be losing her touch.
Emily Choong said, 3 months ago

haha! she’s too kind :P

Spaceman Spiff has no time for math homework.
Grog said, 3 months ago

I think I hated most all my classes through High School. When I got to University there were 2 classes I truly loathed: That was Statistics and Marketing. I loved my Accounting & Finance classes.

Vonnegut said, 3 months ago

December 8, 1980… 29 years in a world without John.

Imagine there’s no Heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Coffee-Turtle said, 3 months ago

Calvin is a lefty… : )
DDFENCE EMET First said, 3 months ago

Susie should be arrested on federal charges for death threats.

A.

@Vonnegut: that could only happen if everyone is a hypocrite or no one is ….. so it won’t happen.

This is right on my soap-box… All I ever heard while growing up was:

“Get A Good Education So You Can Get A Good Job”

I retired from a good job with all the bells and whistles but what I wish someone would have told me when I was spending all my time smoking on the “Smoking Dock” at Davison High School in Davison, MI. ~~We were aloud to smoke in school as long as we were inside the yellow lines next to the schools loading dock~~

Get A Good Education So You Can Help Your Kids With Their Homework…

This would have served me better… I will never forget that empty feeling when I wasn’t able to help my children because they knew more then I did and they needed the help!

And now here I am 50 years old and having to use O2 at night because of COPD and already having had two heart attacks.

Smoking is everything, every bad thing that is… they say it is!

Why does Calvin need school? He already has an education. He only needs to pass the bar exam.
gocomicsmember said, 3 months ago

Susie lacks finesse. Instead of telling Calvin to drop dead, she should have simply turned it around: “What did you get, Calvin?”
Jogger2 said, 3 months ago

Please show your work!
spbatwork said, 3 months ago

Hey gocomicsmember, what did you get for number 2?
grazer said, 3 months ago

I peeked at a smart girl’s answers on a True and False test once and I would have aced it except I got one line off when copying them down. To make flunking the test worse, the teacher noticed the distinct misallignment….
Wildmustang1262 said, 3 months ago

Math is NOT my subject, period!
ruidai said, 3 months ago

Ah, Sussie… you should have just given him the wrong answer.
katdreams said, 3 months ago

What makes this all the sillier is that you just know these two are gonna be going to the prom together, and Susie will be so glad Calvin didn’t drop dead.
bunnyface (bmonk) said, 3 months ago

@Johanan, I suspect you were an NFP too–besides accounting (which I carefully avoided), I also disliked typing, and spelling. All those fussy details, and no real, substantial rules or symbols to play with…
zerotsm said, 3 months ago

In high school algebra, geometry, trig, chemistry, physics, were great. But my favorites were the shop classes, always got straight As in those. English and Spanish I was OK at. Phys ed was a total disaster except gymnastics and swimming and those skills were only passable. We had to take two units of phys ed in Jr College, so I took golf for one and on a dare took “body development” (pumping iron on a universal machine and running around the track). I gained 10 pounds of muscle in 10 weeks and my mother complained that the grocery bill doubled!

bald 716 said, 3 months ago

the girl who sat next to me in 10th grade math used to give me the answers but i think it was because her brother told her i liked her (which i actually did)
james the great and ... said, 3 months ago

He seemed so sincere! That’s why Susie fell for it, but when will she ever learn…once a Calvin, always a Calvin.
james the great and ... said, 3 months ago

By the way, I’ve had students copy even the NAME of the other student!
Awesome-o said, 3 months ago

Calvin, is it that hard?

But some times I did fib
spencer23 said, 3 months ago

Calvin is a future corporate executive. Knows how to use the talented.
Puddleglum2 said, 3 months ago

“Drop dead, Calvin” is not as bad as “I hope he/she burns in hell!” That’s the worst thing you can say to/about anyone.
