Off-topic aside- anybody wonder just how the heck they managed to engineer smoke alarms (or their batteries) so they always start their “I need a new battery”chirping routine between midnight and 5 AM?
I think I built character when my dad tried to get me to ride my bike down a steep hill between our apartment building and the one next to it. There was a brier patch and ditch at the bottom of the hill. Hundreds of briers knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of Thlor that day, I can tell you.
Calvin and Hobbes will always be my favourite comic. My youngest son,Andrew is almost 30 now,but when he was young, he WAS Calvin!! I own the boxset of the entire hard bound series. :)

While you’re at it, Calvin, ask for a mini-gun.

Calvin’s dad and his ‘building character’ comments. You know they really should have given that guy a name.

I think my first experiences with a 2-wheeler were similar to this.
