    Pretty good parenting if a 6 year-old know how to use “assurance” in the proper context.

    No parent has ever existed that hasn’t, umm, left their mark on their children. You’d have to be a perfect human being not to.

    Calvin, you won’t know until you have grown up, and have children of your own.

    I’m quite sure about mom’s look, but has dad even stopped reading?

    For some reason I don’t like 1-panel comics. Does anyone agree?

    @SuperDavid……….not at all. 1-panel comics can, when thoughtfully done, convey a greater tale than most multi-multi panel Sunday comics. Gary Larson was and will always remain the quintessential master of the 1-panel. Today’s Calvin and Hobbes exudes quirkiness on so many levels.

    calvin….all adults are winging it as they go. there is no set plan. they go to experts. and, even the experts are winging it. also, all adults are lazy jerks.

    Do they read Philip Larkin in US grade schools?http://www.artofeurope.com/larkin/lar2.htm

    Calvin in particular should take note of the last line.

    The ‘read’ I get on it is that Calvin is ’knit’picking.

    Only time will tell, little one. But you bear a lot of responsibility for your choices.

    Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should reproduce. :-)

    Well, Calvin, it is like this.. Our parents screwed us up.. Their parents did the same to them.. and so on back to perhaps Adam and Eve..

    You see, Calvin, it is every parents god given right to screw our kids up to be productive people.. No don’t bother with trying to figure out the logic, Calvin.

    Just rest assured that no one gets out of life alive….

    Your welcome.. Can I explain any other fact of life to you.. No? I can tell by your stunned look that my message has been delivered.. Running into the night screaming isn’t going to help either..

    Never mind. Now I like 1-panel comic strips better than the regular 3 or 4 panel ones! Thanks y’all

    Assuredly, their parenting is screwing something up. But that does not mean you can’t choose your own faults—or to change some of what they leave you….
