    As Lisa Simpson paraphrased Samuel Johnson:“Prayer. The last refuge of a scoundrel.”

    Impending doom frequently has that effect. And knowing Calvin,Tirebiter is probably right.

    If there’s a snow day, he’ll forget all about the homework and go out and play in it. Ask me how I know this.

    When I was a kid there was no better feeling than lying in bed, hearing snow sift against the windows, and knowing school would be cancelled. I loved to learn, loved to read, just hated the school I was in. Most of my teachers made Miss Wormwood look sweet and friendly.

    Calvin maybe should have finished his homework quietly instead of waking Dad. He has a short attention span sometimes.

    Harry Morgan did say it on an episode of MASH, when he played a wacko general (before he came on the show as Colonel Potter). While reviewing the troops, he barked it at Father Mulcahy, whose mild reply was simply, “I’ve heard that, General.” The expression appears to have originated around WWII, though Wikipedia lists its origins as uncertain.

    There are no atheists in the classroom. I enjoy how people who don’t believe in God feel the need to put down those who do, as if they’re reassuring themselves that they might be making the right choice.

    Calvin don’t have bed-head. Now that I think about it, at his age I didn’t comb my hair either. Calvin’s spike-look is permanent, unless it’s wet. And it never gets long; lucky kid!

    That is a quote from Erich Marie Remarque. It means that ff you are in the trenches under fire, you are praying. Being religious doesn’t mean that you are in a hurry to go to heaven.

    1 – Are you representing the estate of Samuel Johnson?2 – When are the only times Bart and Calvin pray? “Bart Gets an F” aired on October 11, 1990, 3½ years before this strip was published,Bart kept his promise to God – after being reminded by that little agnostic, Lisa – and actually spent the snow day studying for a history test.

    I agree. There are things I need to get done but leave it to the next day. The next day turns into a month,
