Summary: Calvin dramatizes his sense of being on trial in the classroom, in the form of a “Bohemian Rhapsody” sing-along…and his dad’s there to help!



Reccer's Notes: This scenario is not only cleverly executed but conceivable in-story: children in Calvin’s generational cohort would’ve been exposed to this song as a favorite of their parents’. And, should Calvin’s dad actually happen to agree with his son’s grievance of the moment about school, it wouldn’t be past him to pull something like this. For today’s Show and Tell: the tree the nut fell from.

Further Note: The working title and summary are both mine, none having been supplied by the creator. Even the attribution is tentative: this has been making the rounds of Facebook, Imgur, and Tumblr since autumn 2023. [tumblr.com profile] mitaffenartigergeschwendigkeit, who devotes their Tumblr chiefly to Calvin and Hobbes shitposts without comment, is as far back as I’ve been able to trace its origin and seems a plausible suspect; if anyone knows otherwise, please let me know and I’ll correct it.

I am LOVING this deconstruction of the text. :D
