Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 23, 2024

Long enough that he can do that instead of his homework.

Yeah, Calvin, how long? Although I am impressed with his charts

Can’t so simple addition, however mathematical election analysis is easy for him

A modern-day Calvin would have a Steve Kornacki Big Board.

Always hoping he can dazzle the old man with his poly-syllables, but usually gets no where!!!

A corporate leader in the making.

While you were doing those charts you could have been watching tv. or were you watching tv while doing those charts which is why their upside down.

But, Dad==drawing charts builds character! ;-)

We may end up seeing a number of charts like this between now and November 5.

79% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

Charts is charts…

How does a six-year-old even know how to read charts, much less make them?

Maybe Grandpa should have Dad drop out of the race.

All these years later, adult Calvin is now head of marketing at CrowdStrike

Calvin grows up to become a researcher for Fox News and Newsmax

Old fashioned strip.

Today, Cal would workup a spreadsheet w/ charts.

There’s still a “bedtime”, Calvin.

Charting builds character.

Putting on over on Dad takes precedence over boring homework or chores.

As a data analyst, this cartoon appeals to me.

Not all data are of equal importance.

I recall the charts Robert Strange McNamara used to show during the Vietnam War: “When the bomb tonnage line intersects with the body count line …”

Calvin, THIS chart shows use of the paddle…now standing at ONE-HUNDRED PERCENT!!

95 percent of what politicians and pollsters say is fabricated BS, and the other 5 percent they just make up.

I remember years ago when this was live it was a favorite. Doesn’t do much for me anymore. Same with Foxtrot. I guess I’ve changed because the comic strips didn’t. I still have fond memories of Pogo and hope they don’t rerun that.

There is an easy way to teach the lesson of proper bed times. Let him stay up until midnight, then get him up a 6am. You’ll only have to do it once.

6 year old Calvin spells “poll” correctly. 78 year old Halfwit Hitler does not

Nice job by Calvin. Why doesn’t he spend that much time and effort on his school homework ?

It would be hilarious if Calvin grew up to BE a statistician!

Imagine what he could do with a spreadsheet and power point!

Well, it’s the polling that takes the time. The charts make themselves.

Where did Calvin find an easel? Did his parents hope he would become a painter at one point?

Those charts were completely wrong in 2016

reminds me of a lot of “polling” I see every day

Calvin is a boy wonder.

The charts, if Dad was foolish enough to buy into them, would be a work with long term recurring benefits

How did Calvin get access to Fux Noose and QAN?

Today, he would have an AI chatbot make the chart with several far more convincing arguments involving biorhythms, tax deferrals and long-deprecated psychological studies. :)

Remember Ross Perot’s pie charts?

Imagine the lad in the era of PowerPoint.

He’s got a future in the corporate field.

Yes, Calvin, he does know a logical course of action. Send you bed even earlier so you don’t have time to do these surveys and charts.

He also interacts with Miss Wormwood, and occasionally the Principal.

Just like voters in the USA, you have to consider the alternatives. In Calvin’s household, the choice for the office of Dad is between the lesser of one evils.
