Sadly, Calvin the bullying doesn’t end when you grow up and enter the workforce. It just takes a different form…However, I think you will have the brains to beat it! ;)
No, he’s right. You can’t go beating people up for no reason- you’ll get arrested. I never understood that about school.
As an adult the relationships are advanced enough that bullying is generally frowned upon by everyone, including the bully, introspectively. So it’s a lot less common.
Poor Calvin, his brain is in the dark (locker) right now. Moe’s days are numbered when he will get what he deserves and I hope Calvin is around to see it.
“The sad part is the principal will probably punish Calvin for damaging the locker (knowing his reputation).”
Not necessarily. Calvin has a reputation for slacking and daydreaming, and that sort of thing. He does not so much have a rep for destruction. Well, except at home. And the “Noodle Incident.” But those are isolated cases, really!
for some reason I can see a connection for Moe’s future job :
Assassign , but my only reason is that he likes to hurt people (mainly Calvin). Same for thug

Dawning realization in the third panel. So simple, it’s almost a smiley. A few strokes of the pen conveys so much in the right hands.

I hope that’s Calvin’s locker. He might get beat again if he’s busted into someone else’s.

If Calvin’s not getting his punishment at home, at least he’s getting it at school.

Yeah, except his parents wouldn’t want to have to deal with him 24/7, so the only other option would be private school.

I suggest he get Roslyn to deal with Moe. Only then Calvin would owe her bigtime.

I’m surprised none of our “realist” commentators have objected that a 6yo’s head could not penetrate a steel locker door.
But it is “only a comic strip.” Keep that in mind.

If when we’re grown up we can’t go around beating up people for no reason, why do we have hot and cold wars?

I wonder what Moe grows up to be ? Calvin is going to be smart like the rest of us

Calvin, the sad truth is that when you grow up you can’t beat people up even for perfectly good reasons.

I’m afraid you’re mistaken, Calvin.
Moe will just grow up to be a cop.
