I think that the dad usesd to be a lot like Calvin when he was a child. I’m the youngest in my family and I can remember my dad telling me not to expect special treatment as the “baby” because he and my mom were both the youngest in their families, so I couldn’t get away with anything. SIGH. What a rotten thing to do to a kid.
I like how the lines in the pattern on Dad’s shirt always stay vertical regardless of what position he’s in. Hobbes looks kinda dissapointed with the situation too.
Gee, Calvin hates baths, except when you can’t get him out. (OTOH, that’s usually when he’s acting like a killer whale and splashing the water over the entire room, so maybe it’s not a positive thing when he doesn’t want to get out…)
ive done this to the little girl i babysit. it a very mean joke. but kids do prefer showers. he should try that. love how hobbes is just leaning on the tub. lol so cute.
Daddy has a good trick on Calvin about bath time Calvin dislike. Too bad! Keep Calvin clean and fresh smell! I can imagine when Calvin grows up he ought to be his responsibilites to take care of himself but I think not. sheeshhh!

Hi everyone, i have been reading your comments for a few months now, but am new to the board. I’ve read most of C&H but your comments put the strip in a whole new light. Just wanted to thank all of you for making it worth waking up for morning classes…
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.

Revenge of the tormented Dad.

Sometimes it’s pretty obvious where Calvin gets his quirky side. Most of my sons’ friends have said that meeting me explained a lot about him.

Solution for dad and mum: teach Calvin about showers, and let him play “ship captain” in there!

It’s about time Dad got even with Calvin

Dad’s approach works for the dog, too.

My dad fooled me like this all the time. Like Calvin, I was not thrilled when i found out what time it was.

On the bright side, Calvin gets to pick dad’s rest home.

My husband does this to our girls, but it’s not bath time. It’s clean the house, yard work, exercise, etc.

A dad’s fun filled way to cope with a son who is always springing new, not always pleasant, surprises of his own.

Unfortunately this will probably only work once. Next time he’ll have to think of something else.

LOVE IT.
Good work, Calvin’s dad.
calvindino said, 7 months ago
I agree with Terry. Of course, dad will have to think of many other methods before he tries this again.
madampresiden12 : I too am the youngest in my family, but I did get my share of special treatment.

Calvin likes a bath as much as my Staffordshire Terrier.

Dad, have you ever tried giving Calvin a hose-bath instead?
(note: borrowing ideas from Dennis The Menace, effectively methods which Dennis is actually known to like)

Messing with a kid’s mind builds great character. Sometimes for the kid too.

The biggest revenge Calvin’s parents could come up with would be to have a second child.
