Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 10, 2015

Calvin is preparing himself for adult life!

Well, when Calvin’s right, he’s right.

The problem is, Calvin doesn’t do any work.

Working under pressure? Sure you will don’t work in a public company

Just so. Work expands to fill the time allotted to it. What’s more, one should never do today what can be put off until tomorrow because events often occur which will cause one to regret their hasty action.

I believe it was none other than Mark Twain who said “Never put off till tomorrow what you can do day after tomorrow just as well.”

Life is full of such tradeoffs. It’s a question of priorities.

If he steals Susie’s collection and claims it as his own, we’ll know that Calvin is destined for politics.

Well of course, that’s the only way to work. As far as I know.

did calvin just make a case for torture..?

That’s a cloud alright – the cloud of pending doom.

Calvin has a point, maybe it won’t show if he parts his hair.

Was going to join the procrastinators club but never got around to it…And yes, I do know what a round tuit looks like.

I’ve really found it hard to like Calvin in this arc, where he’s aggressively lazy. Where are the crazy box inventions? Sigh…

That’s no cloud. It’s a death star!

@Numbers Six and TwoCalvin is most often a “clog” in the system!

“There’s no tomorrow!” – Tony MartinCalvin’s work time will be more miserable, but “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable!”

The boys faces are in shadow because they are passing under a tree – nitwits.

If he works better under pressure, he’s destined to be a syndicated cartoonist.

I enjoy keeping busy at my Work Placement. During my time there, I have a professional telephone manner and I think I’m getting better.

Calvin would be good on the Switchboard as well… Ordering pizzas.

By those trees you pass, you could collect the leaves.

Brilliant rationalization!

My title there is “Volunteer Admin Assistant” I’m quite pleased with that.

Even though I enjoy it there, I’d rather have a paid job. It’s so depressing because I’m 20 and most people my age are in full time employment.

secretly wishes that this is just a clever use of foreshadow … building up to Bill Watterson’s sudden revelation that he is coming back!!!! (sends vibes to Calvin C’mon Calvin, if anyone can talk him into it …) after all, the mermaids miss their ‘water son’.

One of my very favorite Calvins!

I’m pretty sure I had some beer once made from barrel scrapings…
