My health insurer keeps calling. They want to come and inspect my house. I tell them I left the military a long time ago and have no intention of reupping. I figure it is a way to find an excuse to increase my premiums and reduce my coverages.
If I had spoken to MY mother like that when I was a kid, it would have earned me a major butt-whuppin’ from my dad when he got home from work that night ….. unless he was there at the time I dared to say it, then it would have happened right then and there on the spot!
Hmm, I don’t see the board he needed to pile stuff higher than the outflow factor (function of area and center of gravity, e.g., tippy vehicle roofs overloaded).
Heh, I think the perfect sound effect for between the third and fourth panels would be the classic Looney Tunes “junk crash” sound effect here…https://www.sounddogs.com/media/fastpreview/Sounddogs-Preview-10295073.mp3
I generally like Calvin’s spirit, but his blatant disrespect for his parents is NOT happening. “Well, he has the right to express himself!”, someone might say. Well, I say “yourself” isn’t always worth expressing! Oftentimes, we’re just plain WRONG, and we need to dial ourselves down a bit. And NO child has any inherent “right” to talk to his or her parents like that.
Am I the only one bothered by the position of her head to her legs? I realize her torso is hidden, but the position looks completely unnatural, like she is broken in half.

Mom you shouldn’t have let it get so bad. You should make him clean his room weekly, that way it won’t become Jeremy Duncan’s room when he’s only 6.

haha- love the timing in the last panel, and mom’s annoyed expression. Being literally buried by mess, but so casual about it.

Gettin’ kinda full of yourself, huh Calvin? None of my boys would EVER have spoken to me in those words or with that tone.
