Calvin is talking to his father. He says, "Remember when I was first born? I couldn't even turn myself over! My eyes wouldn't focus! I couldn't do anything! Think of all the work it took to develop the motor skills necessary to hold a crayon to place the tip of it on a page, and to move it in a predetermined coordinated, motions! This picture is the result of six years' unrelenting toil! A lifetime of effort went into this!" He holds up a drawing he has made of a dinosaur. His father looks closely at the drawing and says, "I'm still not paying you $500 for it." Calvin throws his arms up, "It will appreciate! It's an investment!"

Calvin is taking a history test. The question is, "What was the significance of the Erie Canal?" Calvin writes, "In the cosmic sense, probably nil." He then says, "We `big picture' people rarely become historians."

Calvin's father is struggling with his bike. He is covered in grime. Later, he gets into his cycling gear and Calvin looks at him and can't help bursting out laughing at how he looks. His father goes for a ride and is harangued by motor traffic. Later, his comes off his bike why on rough mountain terrain and ends up flat on his back. He comes home carrying his damages bike, looking completely dishevelled and Calvin laugh at him again. He goes to have a bath and says, "The secret to enjoying your job is to have a hobby that's even worse."

Calvin and Hobbes are out trekking in the woods. Calvin asserts, "I'm the decisive, take-charge type! I'm a natural leader! See, we'll go this way!" Hobbes ignore his and stars walking in the opposite direction, "Have fun." Later, we find a messy Calvin struggling through tough vegetation and water, saying, " The problem is that nobody wants to go where I want to lead them."

Calvin puts his hand up in class, "Can I get a drink of water?" The teacher says, "All right, but hurry up." Calvin leaves to classroom and in fact leaves the school and goes home. At home, his mother opens the door and is shocked to see him, "What are you doing home?!" "I prefer our water." he replies.

Calvin is in class. He says, "We don't value craftsmanship anymore! All we value is ruthless efficiency, and I say we deny our humanity that way! Without an appreciation for grace and beauty, there's no pleasure in creating things and no pleasure in having them! Lives are made drearier rather than richer! How can a person take pride in his work when skill and care are considered luxuries! We're not machines! We have a human need for craftsmanship!" His teacher brings him back to the point, "You had two days to write that paper." Calvin continues to protest, "Two day?! Two days is nothing!"

#TIL that the word "transmogrify" has been around since the 1600s. And here I always thought Bill Watterson invented it just for #CalvinAndHobbes.

Calvin is on his bed but is wary, he asks, "Any monsters under my bed tonight?" The answer comes from below, "Maybe, maybe not." "You mean, `definitely yes'?" he further queries. The answer is "We didn't say that." Calvin is somewhat taken aback, "`We'?" The voice says, "I mean `I'." Another voice says, "Uh... that is, if there were any of me." The original voice says, "Shut up, Winslow." Calvin cowers under his sheets, "Luckily for me, monsters don't think clearly when they're hungry."

Calvin rushes off the bus and runs towards his home. Hobbes sees him through a front window and is delighted. Calvin rushes up the front steps and Hobbes gets ready to pounce. Calvin pauses before opening the front door, suspecting an attack, while Hobbes wonders what the hold-up is. Calvin sits down on the doorstep and Hobbes realizes that Calvin is not coming through soon. Calvin stares off into the distance; Hobbes settle down to snooze. Calvin looks at his watch and by now Hobbes has dozed off to sleep. Calvin puts his ear to the front door and hears Hobbes snoring lightly. He smiles and goes to open the door but Hobbes is still alert and still manages to ambush Calvin. Sitting on top of Calvin, Hobbes says, "Cat nap, noun: A quick, light doze in the manner of cats." A dishevelled Calvin replies, "I know what it means!"

Calvin's mother is helping a very sad Susie to the door, "Susie, your mum just called and she's walking over to pick you up." Susie says, "Finally!" Calvin is on the stairs and his mother angrily tells him, "I'll talk to you in a few minutes upstairs." Calvin is really happy, and waves, ""Bye Susie! Don't lock yourself in any more closets!" He and Hobbes run to their room, Calvin says, "We got rid of a slimy girl! What a great day of Grossness! I'd say some promotions, awards, medals, and advanced degrees are in order!" Hobbes is enjoying it too, "Should we get them before we get in trouble, or after?"

Calvin's mother in on the phone but hears a large bang. She shouts, "Calvin, are you slamming doors?" Calvin shouts back, "It wasn't me, mum! I didn't hear anything." Meanwhile, Calvin and Hobbes are holding the closet door shut while Susie's shouting, "Let me out of here, Calvin, you rotten bag of barf!" Calvin looks over to Hobbes and laughs, "Whee! Our club's finest hour!" Calvin's mother has come over and asks him, "Where's Susie?" Calvin is leaning on the door and says, "Beats me. Maybe she went outside." Susie shouts from inside the closet, "I'm in here! Let me out!" As Calvin has to move aside and let Susie out, he feigns surprise saying, "Why, Susie! What are you doing in the closet, of all places?" His mother knows exactly what has gone on. She crosses her arms and sternly says, "Calvin..." Susie complains, "He tricked me in there and held the door!"

Susie is doing some homework while she's at Calvin's house. Suddenly, she hears his voice, "Hey! I can't get out! I'm stuck! Help!" Susie turns her head, concerned, "Calvin?" She runs to the closet door, where she can hear Calvin's voice shouting, "Susie, I'm trapped in the hall closet! Open the door! Let me out! Help! Help!" Susie opens the door and steps inside where she finds no sign of Calvin but does a find a tape recorder with a tape playing Calvin's message, "Hurry! Quick! I'm in the closet! Open the door and get me out of..." She realizes what's going on but it's too late. Calvin and Hobbes are outside and slam the door shut on her.

Calvin says to Hobbes, "OK, we both understand the secret plan?" Hobbes says, "Got it. But what about a secret code?" Calvin is puzzled, "A secret code? This secret plan doesn't need a secret code." Hobbes say, "Ahem." and brings out the G.R.O.S.S. Club rule book. Calvin reads it, "`Section IV, Article 12: Every secret plan needs a secret code. A. The more complicated the better. B. Everybody already knows Pig Latin. C. Phrases like `code blue' are cool.'" Calvin looks up and says, "Our club charter never lies." Hobbes smiles smugly, "That's why this is such a great club."

Calvin and Hobbes are inside and up-turned cardboard box labelled G.R.O.S.S. Calvin is saying, "This emergency meeting of the Get Rid Of Slimy GirlS Club will come to order. Dictator-for-life Calvin presiding!" Hobbes says, "Oyez! Oyez!" Calvin starts the meeting, "As we're all aware, the enemy has infiltrated our territory and is spreading disinformation to the effect that homework ought to be done right after school!" Both look in a very serious mood. Calvin continues, "As my mum may covert girl sympathies, we must eradicate the hostile forces! Any questions?" Hobbes has one, "Yes, could we poke some air holes in here?" Calvin says, "Too risky. The box of secrecy must remain secure!"

Calvin goes up to his room where Hobbes asks him, "Where's Susie?" Calvin indicates downstairs with his thumb and says, "She's in the living room doing her homework!" Hobbes is puzzled, "Now? She's not putting it off until bedtime?" Calvin replies, "She says she needs to get it done so she can practise the piano when she goes home!" By now, Hobbes is shocked, "Wow, it's like science fiction or something." Calvin says, "`The gender from outer space'!"

Calvin is rummaging around in a drawer when he finds something, "Hey, there's a remote control gizmo in this drawer. I wonder what it does." He clicks the button and suddenly a trapdoor opens beneath him and he falls through it. He finds himself in a lift which opens into a large cave where he sees his mother and father dressed in multicoloured superhero costumes beside a hover car. They're both startled and say, "Calvin?" Calvin can't believe his eyes, "Mum?? Dad???" Back in reality, Calvin walks over to his parents who are sitting quietly on a sofa, reading. He sighs. His mother says, "Calvin, that's very annoying."
