Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 26, 2016

Dad doesn’t have to worry about the polls; it’s a lifetime position.

Hmmmm… I foresee a lack of dessert for at least a week, accompanied by raking leaves or shoveling snow, depending on the conditions.

Yesterday’s hysterical historical strip was the first ‘classic’.

Don’t blame Dad, Calvin—all parents are amateurs with their first child. Of course, after you, he had a vasectomy…but…

I still feel like I don’t know what i’m doing half the time and I have three. At least I’ve got diaper changes and hugs down pat.

He’s lucky that’s all he got for his punishment!

Give Calvin watercress for dessert.

I’d forgotten the ’Dad Performance Reviews"…just loved ’em.

I’m beginning to understand why Calvin is an only child.

Oh, yes. Take away his dessert. That will teach him. NOT!

I always loved the dad polls. Somehow, his numbers just never went up. I love that he tied it to yesterday’s house-flooding event.

Love reliving this strip- it cracked me up then and it cracks me up now.

This is kind of timely, given Chris Christie and the events in New Jersey. And this was first published in 1986.

I love kids………..further the way the better (Just kidding).It’s just that I remember how many times I nearly burnt the house down, lets just say I learned from my mistakes.

Dad needs to use a pole paddle to Calvin’s beehind…

Polls? We don’t need no stinking polls?

Calvin’s popularity (on some days) is nowhere near as high as “the tubes”……..

I know it’s only a minor detail but Calvin has a “Teenager Expression” in the last panel.

I would’ve given him a 8.7 for his polls.

Love it.

I suspect Dad would love a “new line of work.”

love the polls, so official
