I have a sneaking suspicion that “poor Dad” was just like Calvin at that age… and, in the same way, Calvin will get what’s coming to him when he has his own kids.
h2oman- take Calvin to the bathtub and play submarine with him? My grandfather had a similar phrase- “If you were born twins, I’d’a drowned you both!” The laugh was on him when my cousin actually had twins.
It’s an old cliche’ that a parents revenge is when their children have children of their own.
“I hope you have a kid like you so you can see what it’s like.”
I did, my son could just as well be a clone. Not sure how either one of us survived growing up.
“Poor Dad, what has he done to deserve such a son?”
Well, “Party Naked”?
We know Calvin got his imagination from both Mom and Dad. Like recently, when Hobbes was lost out in the woods and Mom was calling for him to come, or that Sunday when Dad explained about color pictures.
I feel sorry for calvin’s dad.He would be a good guy,just that him & his wife are second carecters-only reacting to calvin.Also,calvins dad seems like his coolness has wore down over the years

Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes has been a worldwide favorite since its introduction in 1985. The strip follows the richly imaginative adventures of Calvin and his trusty tiger, Hobbes. Whether a poignant look at serious family issues or a round of time-travel (with the aid of a well-labeled cardboard box), Calvin and Hobbes will astound and delight you.

Poor Dad, what has he done to deserve such a son?
fear-ciuil said, 11 months ago
Agreed, margueritem … and isn’t this exactly what happens to people foolish enough to actually run for office?

Probably something that’s not in the yearbook.

It’s so hard to imagine Dad in his youth…. as anyone but a grouchy workaholic…. I guess it’d be the same for Calvin.

Isn’t the fact that “Party Naked” is on an article of clothing a bit paradoxical?

oxymoron!

Or maybe the tee was not on dad’s body
prasrinivara said, 11 months ago
txmystic – not if the tee was extra-puny and dad was medium or heavier.

what did dad do to get on Calvin’s bad side? Or have they just never gotten along?
JoeMerl said, 11 months ago
Bmonk—exactly what I was thinking!
Tabbylynn—their relationship is the same as any politician and constituent: unrealistic expectations against a mixture of realism and human frailty.

For Dad, it’s not meant for him to heed, it’s a request of the fairer sex. NO ONE wants to see guys partying naked!

There are some things you should keep out of reach of children. Alcohol, medicine, cleaners…and yearbooks.

What go’s around ,come’s around,I have a calvin for a son !!!!!!!!
sneemaster said, 11 months ago
It’s probably that ‘Party Naked’ shirt (and the Keg) with the ‘Bimbo’ why they have Calvin in the first place…!

Dad needs to find a better hiding spot for that stuff.

i think later calvin looks at dad’s yearbook again and sees him dancing with his mom and calls his mom a bimbo.

Man, dad’s reflexes are still good. The way he snatched the yearbook it would seem that the subsequent pages have some more skeletons hidden.

Anybody that ever wore a TShirt that had “naked” on it was a nerdly bleeep and most likely never got laid.
