   wndrwrthg said, 6 months ago

   Yes Yukoner, but it’s against the law.

    i’m not too sure about the politics angle he was clear as to what he said, a politician would use a lot political speak

    Second panel Calvin makes a comment applicable to most fathers–and gets apt response from dad. Third panel, Calvin tries tweaking–and now flops!

    Dad-nobody’s perfect
    or
    Dad-So you think you can do better?

    For these attacks, Calvin always catches Dad when he’s reading.

    Why’s that, I wonder?

    Such insight to polling/politics that kid has - but 8+3 blows his little fuse!

    Calvin needs to work on his dad’s running mate also. Even if dad does become tired and gives in, mother won’t. Shes home with him more!

    Calvin’s about to get voted into a corner

    Wow. 1988. I can’t believe this strip ran that long ago…

    Repentant but learning? Repenting having a kid like Calvin and learning not to have another!

21. 

    musicnut1986 said, 6 months ago

    Calvin can show such deep thought for a kid, such as his grasp of motivational techniques and his knowledge of dinasaurs. Yet, as FishStix points out, Calvin can’t solve 8+3. Then again, this strip would not be as funny if he was just an ordinary kid.

    Dad must follow politics, and knows spin when he hears it!

    Calvin and Danae, the world is in trouble.

    nighthawks said, 6 months ago

    I guess Calvin would be in his mid twenties by now…..and the family circus kids would be in their thirties…..and Hi and Lois’ little baby would be in her forties….and dennis the menace would almost sixty…….hey, he’s as old as mister wilson!
    just a thot

    This to Calvin’s dad. There is a simple little operation that takes about twenty minutes and there will not be another Calvin.

    bleepingdeadalien said, 6 months ago

    The thing with Calvin is that he keeps his dad on his toes…

    Do you think Calvin may experience the BIG OOPS?

    I was hoping to see “Best Dad 1988”

    Wildmustang1262 said, 6 months ago

    What the idea did Calvin’s daddy get?

31. 

    GretchensMom said, 6 months ago

    N7326F: I’m assuming that, since Calvin’s 6 years old and an only child, THAT got done once the little smart-alleck learned how to talk and began running dad-opinion polls!!!!!

32. 

    musicnut1986 said, 6 months ago

    Calvin learned early in life how to motivate and manipulate people. Today, in real life, Calvin is actually Billy Mays, pitch man for Oxi-Clean.

33. 

    FishStix said, 6 months ago

    musicnut - at least one can enjoy loving to hate Calvin, but there’s ZERO to enjoy about screamin’ Billy Mays!! I’m sure Calvin is in San Quentin by now…

    I think Dad in cell three, looks like he could use a double shot. He knows whatever Calvin is cooking up is not going to be tasteful to him.

35. 

    corpuskevin said, 6 months ago

    In a more modern version. Have Dad say he is sorry then go to rehab for two weeks. And since this is not Japan, his position is secure.

    Wow 1988 Calvin must be fast approching his 30th birthday in a year or so

    SQUIDBREAKER said, 5 months ago

    Dialogue is totally backward. Reverse the dialogue and maybe Calvin will become elected, albiet by a methodology he knew not - repentance. Is it, could it be…….(gulp) Ezekiel 37?
