Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 20, 2017

Calvin, now would be a good time Tom pass around the noodles as a visual aid.

Also remember that the brain is made of noodles, then do what we think you will do.

I suggested Albert Einstein’s brain. Just surf up the net, copy everything down, and presto!

The jig is up, son.

For a moment, it almost feel like Calvin is being voiced by David from Alvin and the Chipmunks. After all, the names are nearly identical.

“It is very important to understand the brain…even if it is very difficult to grasp the concept by you all booger brains…so listen to me very carefully….note down everything I have to say…blah blah blah..”

Central nervous…

The vocal equivalent of 18 point font, all caps and double spaced.

The brain is also responsible for the speeding up and slowing down of reports. It’s at work now.

Like writing very big when a report had to be a certain minimum number of pages

That was easy with my lab reports when I majored in Physics. I drew big diagrams.

Do the report in interpretive dance.

Now is the time to pass around the noodles. With luck it might cause a “Noodle Incident.”

Enough with the telling. On to the showing!

I remember doing something like this when I had to write a report about Grace Murray Hopper. Instead of just saying “Grace,” I wrote “Admiral Grace Murray Hopper.” Every time.
