   That was your one chance and missed the perfect time to regain their sanity before Calvin.

   I remember always wanting to stay with relatives when I was younger. It was always different and exciting.

   I had the same feeling when I was a kid. Alwayz wanted to stay with relatives, outta home made me feel gr8. so free!

   Max, be careful what you wish for. You might get it.

    I miss the days when the family could be at the gate to say goodbye…

    To visit uncle Max is a fine aspect and everything before is forgotten!

    I think it was merely a nervous breakdown. He never recovered from it, so he never appeared again in these comics.

    Doesn’t every parent sometimes feel like this?

    But what about Hobbes? He’d have to mail himself to Uncle Max’s house.

    Are you sure they were sane prior to having Calvin pouncingtiger?

    johnnydoc5 and Ivy0730Lcsq: I actually can remember an expansion on that–wishing to spend more time (or stay) with certain relatives while wishing to avoid (unsuccessfully, I actually was forced to visit these at their homes) others.

    Calvin wpuld never be able to get passed security with Uncle Max

    So long Max, we hardly knew ya.

    rawriamadinosaur said, 8 months ago

    Haha I think this is precisely why we don’t see Uncle Max again, too scared that Calvin might try to take advantage of that opportunity again.

    Goodbye Uncle Max have a great life, and tho’ we don’t get to see you again we know you kept in touch with you favorite nephew.

    i’m surprised that calvin didn’t bring hobbs to the airport to see uncle max off too

    hasta pronto tío max

    Calvinator said, 8 months ago

    I’d like to see Calvins imagination take hold of a security pat-down at todays airport. Alien creatures would surround him with all sorts of devices designed to read his mind and extract state secrets.

    Wildmustang1262 said, 8 months ago

    Ha ha ha ha ha ha I love the last panel. I can’t stop laughing about that. Well, so long Uncle Max! Have a safe and sound trip! Come back and visit us some time. I am sure Calvin’s parents think Calvin is such a pester.

    Calvin wears a winter jacket with hood.

    Comment overload!!

    fidget360 said, 8 months ago

    Honey R: no, he was wearing one when they went to pick him up too. Other than that, though, I think this is the only series besides snow serieses.

    “Comment overload!!”

    In that case, don’t even dare to look at Pibgorn, Dick Tracey, State of the Union, or other popular strips! :-)

    redsheri said, 8 months ago

    Anybody notice that these characters have weird looking hands? Look at panel 3! :-)

    ”I never get to do anything fun.”

    LOL—That pitiful, self-absorbed attitude is exactly what makes Calvin’s world so constantly chaotic….and so much fun for the rest of us!

    Now Calvin’s mom won’t be so tolerant.

    Poor Calvin. Never gets to do anything fun.

    Uncle Max is NEVER coming back

    Thewatercolorist said, 8 months ago

    It’s interesting to note that Hobbes never made an appearance while Uncle Max was visiting. Wonder what he thinks of Max?

    Actually - he did when Max first arrived. Max said he had “a killers eye” and I believe Hobbes was quite impressed.

    I, too, was shocked that Calvin could just waltz off like that without thinking of Hobbes! The probably would have had to turn the plane around on the taxiway.

    comment overload? that only happens during religious debates. anyway, its a really funny strip. calvin’s parents almost thought they could be alone for a second lol

    Tigger said, 8 months ago

    Where’s Hobbes? Calvain is never seperated from Hobbes.

    SlyGuy54 said, 8 months ago

    I am SO surprised Mom and Dad would EVER want some time without Calvin…

    I will miss Max. He added something new. Turns out Calvin and Max developed quite the friendship.

    Goodbye, Uncle Max.

    so long uncle max. we are going to miss you. calvin is so cute in his hoddie. sha.

    Ivy0730 said, 8 months ago

    Mom and Dad often disscussed about the ‘huge’ cost to raise Calvin lol and at one time they needed a babysitter while they went out, they laughed at quite out loud, cuz they will away from Calvin for a while, even just couple hours, that’s tough!
