   And that is a good reason for him to stay a bit longer.

   Uncles need to be careful not to wear out their welcome. As a much loved Uncle, I know.

   There is real truth in what Calvin says. I was always more patient and less demanding of my kids when my brother or some other friend was visiting. Isn’t it sad that we need company to bring out the sort of behaviour that should simply be part of our make-up?

   Calvin does have such a childlike innocence

   sorry, for Calvin in not realy happy for the staying of his uncle, he sees his own advantage.

   On previous day, charlie37133 says - “always thought uncle max was in reality Bill Watterson who came to visit his cartoon characters. uncle max knows too much.”
   
   Out of curiousity, I Googled images of “Bill Watterson” and found that Uncle Max looks like he could be Watterson’s twin - (or at least his brother). Except Watterson wears glasses.

   why doesn’t calvin like his uncle???

10. 

    prasrinivara said, 8 months ago

    For calvin_joshi, he’s six years old–so he sees uncle as someone to be used, rather than loved.

    he doesn’t really dislike his uncle - he just didn’t want to give up his room even for a week
    he treats everyone like that

    Calvin’s survival skills are just more obvious than most.

    @Florchi, yes I went over there too. Interesting! I know Calvin’s dad & Max were taken from Bill’s self portrait!

    “Tomorrow. Is that soon enough?”
    Uncle Max speaks the language of Calvin.
    Don’t Uncle Max and Calvin have a strange sort of chemistry? I think Calvin really likes the Uncle, but does not want to admit it, just like it is for Suzie.

    alexhuama is saying that whatever happens to Calvin happens to all of us, and that is cool. Mind you, this isn’t a word by word translation ;^)

    Great picture Radelape! I’ve never seen that before. Do you know anything about the story behind this? Did this first appear in a Watterson book, or somewhere else???

    Radical-Knight said, 8 months ago

    You can always go home with Uncle Max.

    Grazer, how soon would you leave if you were around Calvin? I know I wouldn’t last three hours. Without killing him.

32. 

    Ginrummy33 said, 8 months ago

    Nachos? I thought it was little Pizza slices.

33. 

    SlyGuy54 said, 8 months ago

    Hahaha.. I wish you could stay forever. Calvin would say something like that and not even think about twice.

    Hmm, I wonder if Greg House was like Calvin when he was a little boy?
