Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 19, 2021

That was also General Sherman’s answer when they asked him to subtract something.

The tiger…..ate my homework.

Tigers will do anything for a tuna fish sandwich!

Atlanta, Georgia is never the right answer.

Mom said “yes” to two things Calvin will never do.

“Atlanta, Georgia” means that Hobbes wants something to drink too.

“subtraction” and “Atlanta, Georgia”….hmmmm, am i missing something here.

Why does Hobbes get suckered into doing his homework!!!!

That was a reasonable guess. When there’s no penalty for a wrong answer, it pays to guess.

Mom should know better by now. I’m really surprised she bought that.

Calvin looks like the “Kilroy was here” in P1.

You’re overthinking it. Georgia is implied!

First panel, “Kilroy was here”

Why in the world would she let Calvin do that knowing the type of child he is? I swear, I think sometimes his parents ask for trouble!

There was a set of commercials on TV where the parents cooked a healthy meal and the kid refuses to eat it so they give them mac and cheese instead. Another has the parent bribing the kid to eat by giving them french fries. For some reason younger people are suffering from digestive problems nowadays.

you may be getting an F, even though at this rate you and your parents are pretty used to seeing that grade of yours.

What parent is going to trust their kid to eat a meal out of their sight, when he’s already issued the opinion of “Blaughhh!”?!?

Sherman was an arsonist!

How can someone not like salmon?

This has to be an extremely tough question. Usually, tigers are very good at subtraction.

I’ll eat almost anything, but Salmon? Barrff! Leave them for the bears.

Would not make the story, mom needs to add cheese to that fish or what Calvin likes assed.

If Hobbes is this dumb, then Calvin must be-

How short is he, even sitting on a dictionary his nose is barely above the table and he was able to remove a tire? In the second panel his legs are so short they don’t even hang over the book he is siting on.

The real answer is, 42.

It looks like Mom is having a glass of wine with the salmon. I wonder how many glasses or bottles she socks away during a typical day of dealing with Calvin?

Well, if you can’t be right, be funny!

LOL!!!

First: Mom, don’t tell him it’s salmon, say it’s dragon meat. Second: Hobbes,the answer to everything(especially math) is 42.

Definitely A++

…like Calvin asking to eat something strange while doing his homework wouldn’t raise half a dozen red flags…

I lived a bit in Atlanta. Good target for subtraction.

Nice to know there’s one subject on which Hobbes is not as smart as Calvin.

Sounds like the right answer to me. Granted, I don’t really understand new math. It’s less about adding and subtracting numbers and more about figuring out how the numbers feel about being added and subtracted and whether consent was given before multiplying…

Love salmon. A lot of fish I find to be bland in taste but salmon has real flavor.

Hobbes’s arthmetic fiasco gains salmon chunks. What more can the feline ask.

Again we thought Hobbes was smarter.

I agree Calvin, Salmon sucks. And it stinks up the house for a week no matter how you cook it and I don’t care about how those Omega 3 fatty acids are good for you.
