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.

Calvins’ polls are always skewed in his favor.
He will make a fine politician someday.

Let’s not forget the babysittercontroversy incident or bathtubgate!

Scary. How many years ago did Watterson ink this? And a certain past president is also using the line, “history will vindicate me.” You’re onto something with the polls, Calvin.
Josh said, 6 months ago
I saved it to my computer and zoomed in on the year. Though it was too blurry to read clearly, i would say that this was inked in 1988

I wonder if waterboarding is allowed to get Calvin to clean his room???

I’d like to see Dad do a poll on Calvin. Will history vindicate Calvin? This strip is from 1988? To think Calvin is all grown up now!

With the tall tales Dad uses to fill Calvins head, we should all know that Calvin takes after Dad, but to the next power.

Dad is wondering what his new child will look like.

I think Calvin grew up to be an Illinois governor.

Careful, Calvin - Grounding Gate is about 2B added to the list.

@macushlalondra - Calvin grown up??!! What a scary thought!
Wildmustang1262 said, 6 months ago
I just wonder what Calvin looks like when he grows up? He can be a handsomely good-looking adult with spike hair, face like his mother or father with eyeglasses either.

Yay! The polls are back! My fave, along with the snowmen.
Northwoodser said, 6 months ago
The only ones polled are Calvin and Hobbes, so they’re biased.
bat007 said, 6 months ago
I love dad’s reply in the final panel.
Comic-Nut said, 6 months ago
Ah, the polls… Latest poll on Calvin’s future is bleak, especially if polls on Dad continue in this manner. LOL!
grazer said, 6 months ago
Dad’s been hoping to get impeached since 1985. Hasn’t worked yet.
StubbleJumper said, 6 months ago
Hmmm… the elected administration of dad? I must have missed that one.
bald 716 said, 6 months ago
@macushlalondra
calvin may get bigger, but he will never grow up
greaserman44 said, 6 months ago
i really like this new look to gocomics. ive been out of town all weekend and this is my first time seeing it. i really really like it
mrprongs said, 6 months ago
New Dad will look a lot like Old Dad, only angrier and less acommedating to you.
blazedancer said, 6 months ago
maybe Dad should get a P.R. Rep, I wonder if Mom is up to the challenge?
side thought, why is there no Mom Poll?

I think 1988 would be about right. I vividly remember last Monday’s “Bug Butter” was about then, when I was in D.C. And I tend to agree with Dad’s judgment about “true leadership.”
On the other hand, I’m just overjoyed that I didn’t miss “Bug Butter” by being away for a week, and having gocomics change everything on me….

“Bedtimegate” and “Homeworkgate”? Bill Watterson was a genius!

Let Mom decide the candidates for future office….maybe she has a few options in mind.

Calvin will be good in politics
SQUIDBREAKER said, 5 months ago
He will look like HaSatan if you are not careful. Or at best , you will be cut out of the family tree and your inheritance.
