Thanks again gang on the comments about my Dad! This just brings back so many memories of camp with my folks . I just got too shook up and had to take a couple days off from reading the strip.
The most I guess I got into my imagination at that age was, with a make believe dog I took everywhere. I didn’t remember it going to the extreme but Mom did and repeated several stories to my friends and boyfriends growing up! All I remember is really wanting a dog. My grandparents finally got me a small dog when I was 10. Hopefully the make believe dog moved out years before the real dog moved in!

He’d rather be in outer space…perhaps Mom will want to join him.

Looks like there’s a swimming adventure ahead!

Way to go, Calvin!

I hope Calvin can swim!

I think it would probably be more enjoyable if dad would shut up about it.
Rakkav over 14 years ago
Ah, fantasy: the cure for and the cause of nearly all of Calvin’s problems. How well I know the feeling.
Wow, Gweedo, if Dad committed that, then Mom would be a lot more cheerful (provided he could pay for it).

Where else would Calvin’s mind go? After all, he’s fly fishing.

Where’s Hobbes? How come he missed the trip?
carpetinwater9 over 14 years ago
Calvin will probably throw in the fishing pole by accident.

I cannot be with Calvin, I would like the trip!

I would love to be where they are right now! I agree 100% with Dad on this one!

Sorry Calvin you’re stuck. If losing his camera and his glasses weren’t enough to make him turn around and go home nothing will.

What’s happened to Dad’s glasses and can he see anything without them?
josh_bisbee over 14 years ago
His glasses got accidentally crushed 2 days ago
yyyguy over 14 years ago
this definitely looks like a bad day for serenity on the water! can’t wait to see what happens next!

At first, I thought Calvin’s daddy didn’t wear his eyeglasses and then he might wear the contact lens instead.

Uh oh—the wilderness is about to get wild!

Calvin’s on an alien adventure, Dad’s in a rustic idyll. I guess the mother’s the only one in the actual woods.
Rakkav over 14 years ago
No, Mom’s back home with her coffee, newspaper and a more “civilized” breakfast. :)
Gweedo, you and I are on the same page re: that filigree.

personally I’d rather be IN the water (swimming) than sitting on top of it

if calvin jumped overboard, it would be all the better for dad
