Transcript:
Miss Wormwood: You have a question, Calvin? Calvin: Yes! What assurance do I have that this education is adequately preparing me for the 21st century? Am I getting the skills I'll need to effectively compete in a tough, global economy? I want a high-paying job when I get out of here! I want opportunity! Miss Wormwood: In that case, young man, I suggest you start working harder. What you get out of school depends on what you put into it. Calvin: Oh. Then forget it.

I recently read the following note in a scanned version of this comic strip: “Miss Wormwood: As a few readers guessed, Miss Wormwood is named after the apprentice devil in C. S. Lewis’s ‘The Screwtape Letters’. I have a lot of sympathy for Miss Wormwood. We see hints that she’s waiting to retire, that she smokes too much, and that she takes a lot of medication. I think she seriously believes the value of education, so needless to say, she’s an unhappy person.” I believe it comes from Bill Watterson himself.
