I know there’s only about 150 or so people that use the internet but PLEASE don’t tell my you’re the same “legaleagle” douc*e from ksl.com? That would be a horrible coincidence.
That aside, mrslukeskywalker has the whole situation exactly right. Calvin is definitely (as the term said) the “hero” of the story. Calvin’s alter-ego Spaceman Spiff is a more literal embodiment.
An additional point being though…Calvin’s parents are dealing imperfectly…with a (to quote again) “perfect” child. It can be argued that ALL children are perfect and this state of being is only modified by their environment projecting imperfections on them (us).
Long story short…Calvin is “any” child and to give his parents credit…they seem to perform above average in, if not nurturing, then at least loving him.
