There’s a Sunday strip due to be reprinted soon – I think it will be tomorrow’s reprint – where Calvin and Dad have quite a good time together. Like the camping story arcs, it was based on Bill Watterson’s memories of his Dad so it’s good to know that he has some happy memories of him although he relied mainly on bad memories for comedy effect as has been the case during the past two weeks.
From the Science Daily…“Media and popular scientific literature often claim that many alleged fathers are being cuckolded into raising children that biologically are not their own,” said Maarten Larmuseau of KU Leuven in Belgium. “Surprisingly, the estimated rates within human populations are quite low—around 1 or 2 percent.”
Because my boys can be such little demons and I was always an angel (if you believe that…) I’ve often told my wife that the boys came from telepathic in vitro fertilization. She claims there is no such thing.
I thought for a long time that I was a cuckoo because both my parents were RH+ whilst I am Rh-. Then I found out about genotypes and phenotypes, where it is possible for both parents to have the recessive Rh- factor and pass it to a child while being Rh+.

If Dad had tried this camping stunt with Reba, she would have smacked him upside the head.

Calvin’s carrying his own sleeping bag. Either that’s not Calvin or he’s really anxious to leave.

Dad’s lucky he didn’t just get a tent pole upside his head!

I’ve made the hopeful mailman joke many times. But it appears I’m responsible for my two.

Hey Buddy (as I’m tooting my horn and leaning out my car window), you’re in MY campsite!

I still find it hard to believe they’re related by blood.

I have heard it said, “Motherhood is a matter of certainty; fatherhood is a matter of faith.”

I suspect that Mom sees some things about Dad (which don’t necessarily show up in the strip ) that pretty much match what she sees in Calvin.

Heh, Calvin sounds a lot like a teenager in the third panel! And so ends the final camping trip story arc in “Calvin and Hobbes”’s run…

Dad needs to send mom to a spa, and Calvin to space camp. And go ‘wilderness’ by himself.
