Back in the late 1970s I had a friend who lived in an isolated, hand-built cabin in the coastal mountains of Oregon near Corvallis where we both worked. He usually spent the weekends sans clothing. One Saturday, while strolling, au naturel as usual, along a jeep trail he encountered a car driven by an older couple lost in the labyrinth of logging trails of the area. He graciously directed them out of the maze and back to the highway and resumed his stroll. I often wonder what their reaction to this very suntanned gentleman was.
“But not today.” Calvin should have said, “Butt not today” as it is one of the few occasions where we see his bare butt. We usually only see this when he is taking a bath. Hobbes, of course, is one of those cartoon animals who usually go around naked but sometimes wear bathing trunks.
“A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day.” With apologies to Aragorn at the Black Gate.
It was recently by birthday…………….but I wouldn’t have even (in a passing thought) gone out in my birthday suit—would have blinded anybody I had met ! ! ! !
Humans are the only species to cover themselves which destroys the planet. Without clothes there would be a lot of areas of the planet that we would never have ventured to which would also have slowed down the population. Clothing was against Gods thought of paradise and that was on page 1…
I’m heading out for a round of golf today. It is going to be hot and humid. naked in a golf cart going as fast as I can to my next shot to get that wonderful flow of air! what could go wrong?
I remember when my son was three years old, he had a friend same age, got a brainy idea of pants zipped down and pulled down, I was in the kitchen and shocked, I saw another woman driving same way, I started to laugh, yet went to the door and ordered both boys pull their pants back up and zip it, both scrambled to do that. They thought they was being funny. That was 35 years ago.

All kids are natural born nudist.
The habit of wearing clothes has to be beaten into them – metaphorically if not literally.

Have patience, Calvin. All you have to do is grow up and get a place of your own, at least a couple of miles from the nearest neighbor.

There’s no reason at all for a child to not walk out of the house nude, unless you have phobias about laughing and pointing. :)
