So does the school take no responsibility for allowing him to leave and make it home? They don’t even seem to have called his parents before he made it home.
I enjoy Calvin and Hobbes, but thought Watterson’s constant dwelling on Calvin getting Hobbes to do his homework a bit too much. I know it’s just a cartoon, but Schultz’s also beat the luxurious Snoopy doghouse theme to death as well.
Once you realize that the quality of Hobbes’ homework is directly affected by Calvin’s intelligence, Wattersons intent becomes a bit clearer. Garbage in, garbage out.

I wonder if Hobbes will do Calvin’s papers when (or if) Calvin goes off to university?

How very mature of Calvin, learning how to delegate.

So this is what happens after the end. The anticlimax.

Spiff is lucky. Zark enforcers aren’t usually this reasonable.

He just doesn’t seem to learn Cause and Effect.

Dad is going to check Calvin’s homework?! That seems like an epic bad idea to me.

I’m pretty sure the talks with teacher and principal never even went in the one ear.

Not only smart but humble. Both admirable qualities in a tiger.

Calvin is clearly executive material, a CEO in the making.

Great Calving got the entire family in it now. I doubt Dad is going to be happy have to do homework again.

Calvin will of course do it, only through his alternate personality. Man, this kid is dissociated.

The source of Calvin’s bad grades. (More of Watterson playing with reality, such as it is.)

At this rate, Calvin will never make it out of first grade unless someone has pity on him.

Too bad he wasn’t able to Ask Siri, Alexa or Google it back then!
