Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 28, 2019

…and they grow corn, which they call maize.

Does Calvin think pterosaurs were bugs too?

Then again in the transmogrifier gun story, he seemed to know pterodactyls weren’t bugs.

has Calvin even SEEN a bat? he has some already in the belfry of his mind

Another Calvin classic in the works.

“If dolphins are so smart, why do they live in igloos?”—Cartman

No surprise here. His downfall always starts when he hands in the homework!!

Doesn’t Calvin watch scary movies? You’d think he would actually know bats.

They are really big bugs Calvin and when they get caught in your hair, it ain’t pretty.

His report will either be about guano or it will be guano.

Calvin is more than enough to drive Miss Wormwood batty!

Good job Hobbes can write or nothing would get done

If he is going to write a report on bats, he should include Robin and Batgirl as well.

“There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don’t know we don’t know.” Donald Rumsfeld

Ugly and hairy, two more facts worth writing down. This report is almost done. Good job Calvin.

Sounds like what you would get from Faux News.

Schoolwork in general drives Calvin batty.

Come on Calvin, they are awesome creepy flying blood sucking creatures of the night, you should love them…lol

They’re icky flying mice. Something Calvin would love!

Don’t they have sort of black cloaks too?

That “fact” of yours is going to be your downfall…

From the start, like others, I’ve thought this was a strange thread. If you made a list of animals Calvin would totally love, dinosaurs and tigers would be tied for first, but I’d have thought bats would make the top ten…

There are a lot of bats in our neighborhood and they can be quite active just after sunset. My kids are batty about them. They would go out every night to watch them if we could.

Reminds me of my son’s ill-fated science project, with my “help”, to state that the earth’s atmosphere is mostly oxygen…sigh…

They drive cool cars. And sometimes have a dorky sidekick.

Well, if that don’t bat all!

BATS

By Calvin

Bats are big bugs that look like flying rats. They like hanging around in belfries. (Bellfries are bells you don’t have to pay for.) Watching bats fly in girls’ hair is fun. The best known bats are Batman, Dracula, and baseball. Baseball bats don’t look like flying rats.

The end.

This sums up how I believe all political pundits operate.

Easy homework D+ ….Calvin

It’s not what you hit a baseball with?

He is going to be a CEO when he grows up.

the first thing, the VERY FIRST thing any child is ever told about bats is “they are the only flying mammals.”

Just testing my new Avatar

And this is when Calvin’s laziness out weighs his intelligence. Subverts it to this fantasy fest that will get him a much deserved “F-”.

F coming for not researching.

Well, I’ll give Him Partial Credit because they do BUG some People. :-)

This is where the parent is supposed to give direction.

Hehehe

Calvin – surely there is some form of reference book around your house if nothing else than a dictionary for you to refer to about Bats.

Some bats aren’t even that ugly though.

Bats? I can write notes of that in minutes
