Calvin & Hobbes by Bill Watterson
Comic School

It never really bothered me that Calvin's "return to school" times over the course of the comic kept him in the same grade. Part of the allure of comics is returning to their contained world.
I didn't want to watch Calvin grow up through the grades!
Unfortunately, though, this means poor Miss Wormwood was never free of him.




I'm fairly sure it was Junior year, but one year I had a really great English teacher, and we had a wonderful rapport. This reminds me of the last day of school, minutes before the bell rang, I just suddenly piped up and said "I still ain't got no grammar!". Her response was "Well, I tried, you're not my problem any more!". This was a little over 4 years before this strip, so I'm saying Calvin is based on me in this strip.
You are Calvin! Then who is this ne'er-do-well following me around, @SpacemanSpiff?!?!
