Two choices: Get it done and show what you CAN do. Gets you released from captivity, but raises expectations you’ll be expected to continue to meet. Second, get it done and move on to something more interesting, like a good book, that you can enjoy without raising the bar. Unfortunately, parents can usually see through this.
I loved spend the evenings in my room “doing homework” I had a TV, Stereo and other distractions. I remember doing my homework during commercials. I always wondered why it took until after the tonight show to finish.
Hobbes looks really short sitting in Calvin’s chair. Seems like Calvin’s head would be below the top of the desk. Perhaps this explains the poor grades when Calvin does his own work.

Remember, Hobbes isn’t really doing the homework, Calvin is. Calvin is imagining his buddy doing the homework but Calvin is actually doing it. He’s doing it as he imagines Hobbes would do it. That’s why this strip and the valentines card one is so funny.

Since Hobbes was doing Calvin’s homework in the first place, why is he still doing after Calvin bombed his report card?

Do your own homework, Calvin. That in itself should be an improvement.

And to think the future of our country depends on little squirts like him.

Oh, delaying dinner until 9 p.m. would have serious repercussions in this household, I suspect in most households.

Tiger 101: kill, eat, sleep, kill again. Calvin better not let Hobbes teach him too much or else.

Well Calvin, Hobbes could go faster and you could spend the rest of the time until dinner reading comic books and eating cookies in your room.
