Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 03, 1986

Why not? Makes more sense than wasting academic time being bored and miserable while getting all hot and sticky.

I agree with Calvin. I hated gym class and liked academics more.

@ChocPi, isn’t the point to get the kiddies woken up and work off some excess energy so they can pay attention?

Calvin should be happy. Twinkies, being all-artificial, have a 12-year expiration date–so Calvin will live to see grade 6.

Calvin should get out of Dodge.

in what sate do elementary school kids have periods

Well, I guess that’s one way of putting it.

When I was a kid we’d run 5 or 10 laps around a small soccer arena and then play soccer or basketball for the rest of the period. Sometimes they’d make us do other stuff, but it wasn’t bad. I liked gym class.

Announcement: There’s no telling how this is going to turn out, so don’t be disappointed if thisisn’t the last strip you see.

‘Asphalt’ Looked like it was spelled asphalf.

Yeah that sounds wrong on some levels.

You know, when they say “That’s wrong on so many levels”, what are the levels?

First graders have recess not gym.
