   Those brains have been oozing,a little at a time.

   My brains oozed out a long time ago. That is why I am here. Hello all. Nice seeing so many lovely people.

   Something I learned the hard way - “Be careful what you wish fro, you might just get it.”

    At least Hobbes doesn’t want the oozing ears.

    Thanks to all that helped me with the explanation on the learning curve question from the teachers on yesterday’s strip!
    I’m not a tv advocate by any means. I can only watch about 2 hours a day and it starts to drive me nuts. When my granddaughter is here who’s just turning 3 in January we watch a couple hours of cartoons scattered throughout the day. She’d watch more if I let her and I still have to stay on my son and his ex to limit her tv time. They both use the Noggin Pre-School Cartoon Channel as a cheap babysitter while they’re doing things around the house or they’ll put on the computer and play cartoon videos from there endlessly. I always say if you’re not going to stay there and watch it with her and discuss the shows with her then they shouldn’t be on. I don’t know of any teacher or doctor who ever said your child needs to watch more tv or they’ll never get anywhere in the world today.

    They call this a Pyrrhic victory, Calvin.

    Oh. That’s right. You refuse to learn enough to hear about such things.

    Dad must be really tired.

    Sorry, Calvin, but by feigning defeat Dad actually won. It was an underhanded, but successful, tactic. Now you’ll have to war with Dad on multiple levels.

    Dad lost. More than two hours of TV and a kid will turn out like Calvin. Oh. Let me reword that.

    Is there such a thing as projectile brain oozing?

18. 

    Linda Arney said, 2 months ago

    Always wondered why some of my student’s brains disappeared … they oozed out! Makes perfect sense now!

    Given the slop that’s on tv these days you already lost your brains Calvin.

    Dino-1 said: “…I don’t know of any teacher or doctor who ever said your child needs to watch more tv or they’ll never get anywhere in the world today.”

    Let me tell you that my now 18-years old son has the syndrome of disspersse attention (I’m not sure that’s the right term in english, sorry), and when he was three years old, he couldn’t pay attention to one thing at a time: he paid attention to whatever happened around him!

    So we went to this psychologist, and he told us that he needed a very VERY attractive thing to focus: the TV.

    He told us that he needed to stay in a room with a TV set turned on in child’s shows (not as usual as today), so he coul focus his attention. He told us too, that I should let him use the NES console, we had at that time.

    Now, he has reached the level of attention required to develop a life… besides, his taste for videogames

    Fer Lefer,
    video games are good…

    Vigilante de noche said, 2 months ago

    The subtlety here is amazing! Hobbes being the alter ego… trying to get Calvin to realize he’s really won nothing?
    This is what truly made this strip great and why we all continue to follow it!

    Calvin and Hobbes.
    No words to express how simply
    brilliant th comics are. Just like
    th books by P.G. Wodehouse..
    inimitable, priceless.

    You can tell this is Saturday. Yesterday, Calvin couldn’t WAIT to get his homework “done” so that he and Hobbes could go outside and play. Today, he wants to sit inside and watch stupid, mindless cartoons on t.v., even if it’s a show he absolutely hates!

    In past strips, the TV set is always bouncing in mid-air.
    I wish it did in today’s strip. So funny!

    If he’s gonna watch TV that long, you’d think he’d get more comfortable…..my neck is killing me just LOOKING at him!

    From Calvins expression on the last frame I will say Dad is going to win this one . And well get an active Calvin again I betcha

    That’s why those plastic furniture covers became so popular in the 50’s. Television!

    mrslukeskywalker said, 2 months ago

    At least the shows back then were funny and worth watching. Today it’s nothing but indoctrination propaganda.

    The exact inverse of “What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly.”

    Brother_James said, 2 months ago

    Telling Calvin he CAN watch cartoons will not change his watching habbits.
    Now if you told Calvin he HAD to watch cartoons would have the kid sneeling outside to play or do what you really wanted him to do.

    There’s so much junk on TV these days that it’s better to play video games or watch YouTube

    Back when I was his age, we only had 3 channels with mostly nothing worth watching. Now when I have got no time to watch there are all sorts of things worth watching when I want to watch them thanks to DVRs.
