It’s like a perfect parry in a video game, flawless deflection. 🤌

Layout of this strip is fantastic. Makes you really grateful Bill Watterson fought for the extra space on the comics page.

This is one of my favorite strips. I love his cleverness and Ms. Wormwood's response

I love how most of these fantasies are just excuses for Bill to show off his dinosaur-drawing skills.

Yes, I know pterosaurs and plesiosaurs aren't dinosaurs.

i love in the aniversery book he was like "i hate my old drawings of dinos! they're so awful and i didn't care. im much happier that i did the research to draw them properly" and god damn he did

I remember reading this as a young man and STILL, to this day as a 40 something, I will use it from time to time to cause people to laugh. I have doctored it up a little - but the genesis of it comes back to this very Calvin and Hobbes comic.

"I live in the great state of Denial - Confusion county."

I like how he goes back to imagination after he's done with Miss Wormwood.

Reminds me of a Peanuts strip where Sally's teacher asked her the same thing and she answered "Uh, confusion?"
