Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 09, 2012

Time to check for Aspergers

Wow, a new 007!

I’m sure Calvin

Calvin is not mentally ill nor in need of drugs. He simply has a set of priorities that others have difficulty appreciating. He may go on to become the Sam Raimi of his generation.

What was Mrs Wormwood saying ??

Calvin, so oblivious to the world around him.

Looks like he grew up to be an Obama voter.

@Red_Fez: Obama voters never grow up. They want a nanny state to infantalize them in perpetuity.

I see the sad ones have brought politics to an otherwise pleasant board.

I’m always like that in class. And no, I don’t have Asperger’s.

Calvin’s Nirvana

A lot of guys who live in another dimension like Calvin grow up and invent something that makes them very rich. I met some at my 50 year high school reunion. Sadly, I wans’t one of them.

What’s going on in the here and now, Calvin?

I wonder why say alone …? ha ha

What is Mrs. Wormwood saying? The same thing Charlie Brown’s teacher use to say: “Wah-wah-wah-wa-waahhh.”

LOL LOL… Excellent!

This is a repeat arc from Nov 12, 1992 which you can find on this site if you want to know who is writing the letters. As you can tell I read the last page of a book before reading the first… zero patients.

ummmm, wait a minute, I’m no doctor. What I have is a lack of is patience.

Looks like Calvin’s in love…..in love with the “mystery”.

It’s really sad how some people can’t get over the election results. There’s nothing you can do about it so move on. No one with any sense is going to vote for someone to control their bodies and take away their chance for higher education so that they can’t have a decent career and stay off of government assistance.

If you received a secret message, wouldn’t it keep your attention. And if you happen to be six I understand how it could take all of your attention.

Asperger’s nothing… Calvin’s a little narcissist! But I love him anyway… always have!

If Calvin’s on drugs, i wanna know the name of it and where i can get some!

In another strip with the principal, the principal said, “I hate this job.” As a teacher, this really cracks me up! Kids are so sweet and full of surprises for you!

My parents had my hearing checked because I simply chose not to respond to them when I was doing something that I deemed more important….like drawing. Glad they didn’t have the litany of drugs and conditions to diagnose back in the day, at least in my case….

His Universe, his rules

Calvin is fortunate that Miss Wormwood didn’t throw the book at him!

I wonder if Calvin’s teacher sounds like Charlie Brown’s.

There in a snapshot is the story of my entire primary education.

Calvin is lost in his own mind. I spent a lot of time in mine at his age. Now it just happens in the shower.

It’s funny how he keeps the same expression.

INFPs like Calvin get lost in the possibilities (as today) and may not even notice what is going on beyond. them. Unfortunately, this does not make for a good spy, even though in their imagination, they are just brilliant!

You mean you’ve never heard of Sam Raimi? Think Evil Dead, Darkman, Army Of Darkness, Spiderman 1, 2 & 3, Hercules and Xena.

Somehow I cannot help but think of Ralphie in “A Christmas Story.” He was so excited about decoding the Little Orphan Annie message only to be disappointed with the message: “Drink your Ovaltine.” LOL

If all that happened in the space of a few sentences of thought, how insanely slow must he be thinking?

I was like that when I was six.

I was sent to the principal’s office in grade school many times to be paddled. I was a little like Calvin (without the tiger). When you live in your own little world people tend to misunderstand you.

The ‘middle and lower class’ demand the supply.The ‘rich’ supply the demand.

That gives them about a year before they start ranting about the next election.

calvin must be happy

…Or he might NOT get home

Priceless :)

Well yer gonna get home fast!
