   Dad’s eyes and fingers must be bad as mine. Anything past a foot away from my face is a blur of color without my glasses and my handwriting still looks a 3rd graders and im in college.

   I’m many moons past college, and my handwriting still looks like Miss Kittle’s penmanship book, also in the 3rd grade. I put the “curse” in “cursive.” But who uses handwriting anymore???

   Calvin, you know your dad, don’t you?

   I know Calvin’s a brat, to say the least, but they need to show a little love….

   why don’t doctors use shorthand?

   It suddenly occured to me - if dad can’t see without his glasses, how will he be able to drive home? Assuming the battery’s not dead then I guess it’s moot.

   ric: maybe they do. (and how would anyone know?)

    rricchhterr said, 3 months ago

    good point yyy, l guess as muddled as it [their handwriting] is,you really can’t tell…

    sjoujke, no worries, Mom can drive too. Remember the strip where she had road rage and Calvin encouraged her to swear?

    Calvin had broken the glasses!

    LX013, maybe Dad is wearing contact lenses now, don’t you think ??

    This picture seems to be a little fuzzy.

    Maybe Dad can use his binoculars to drive.

    Bdaysuit said, 3 months ago

    Maybe, just maybe, Dad has another pair of glasses in the car……….. Nah…that would be too easy.

    Calvin, it’s time to flatter Dad a lil bit, cuz it’s YOU broke dad’s glasses!

    Ric & yyy (based on an erstwhile pastor), the doctor’s handwriting IS shorthand–to pharmacist for “I got my $50, you take yours now”.

    BTW LX013–it wasn’t Calvin who placed all the dunked bag’s contents on top of the glasses (after retrieving them from water).

    Also another question: is the “isle” that dad is claiming to be painting Calvin’s mum on the chaise (that would certainly explain Calvin’s “oh” in penultimate panel)?

    Calvin the art critic.

    Dad must’ve forgotten they’re on a vacation as a family so he really ought not to send Calvin away.

    At home Calvin’s often amusing himself without the benefit of the parents’ presence - with nothing more than Hobbes to keep him company. So why is he going out of his way to annoy his parents when they want to be alone? It’s time for him to go off and play Spaceman Spiff and let the parent’s do their thing without ticking them off.

    dad’s eyesight is most likely good enough to paddle your behind calvin

    This is a lot like going anyplace with my parents. Do you think I was a bit like Calvin when I was a child???

    Interesting how some folks talk about a comic strip such as this one which hasn’t been new in over ten years like it is a current comic strip.

    Today’s month and date is 8-7, not 6-24 as in the lower right hand corner of the last panel of the above strip.

    We always took a hour or so everyday at camp for quiet time. Dad always brought a stack of paperback books to read, Mom would play the music on the radio while she read the newspaper and did the jumble and crossword puzzles. I would read a book or magazine or play with my playdough and sillyputty. Mom was an elementary school teacher and would substitute teach at my school. She also substituted for the art teacher, gym teacher, and librarian when needed. Mom had the best imagination. She made the best bulletin boards for school and would assist me in drawing for class reports. She could draw anything from scenery to people to animals. She had a steady hand and could draw the straightess lines and perfect circles. She would draw the coolest pictures while she was talking on the telephone. I used to swipe them after she got done talking and put them in my desk drawer otherwise she’d just wade them up and throw them away afterwards. She used to get inspiration that way for future projects. She’d make notes on a piece of paper after and either enter it in her lesson plans or put it in her, “suitcase of endless wonders”, downstairs. She had all her stencils, pictures she either drew or cut out of magazines, paints, colored pencils, chalk, construction paper, etc. in there.

    Actually Calvin didn’t break the glasses. His dad is the one who threw the stuff on top of them! Oh, well. Always blame things on the kid!

    many of those famous paintings worth over a million bucks look like someone painted them without their glasses too! Go on, Dad! Your paintings may be worth big bucks one day! :-D

    Hope, Daddy will forget the broken glasses and love Calvin again!

    Hey all! Where can I find the latest Calvin and Hobbes books? I haven’t bought one in a few years, but previously collected them up until about 2005 or so. Thank you!

    bmonk said, 3 months ago

    @lovecalvin, hate to rain on your parade, but these are all reruns. No new Calvin & Hobbes for about 10 or 20 years now. :-( [sigh]
