    I’m still in favour of applying the board of education to his seat of learning. Done properly it will make him an upstanding student.

    Calvin,

    Careful what you wish for…You may get it!

    Calvin-s mom gesture, in the last panel, was copied from my very own mom, my wife copied it it from her, and used it a lot with our own children

    Mom’s teeth in panel three remind me of the newly discovered Abydosaurus Mcintoshi dinosaurs (I wonder if they’re related to Zogwargs).

    And Calvin’s mom gave him “THE LOOK”. When I do that, my son says, “OH NO! DON’T GIVE ME THAT LOOK!” When his big sister does it to her kids, he once asked how come she could do that & she never used to before, I told him only moms can give “THE LOOK”.

    Good post Yukoner! “board of education,” “seat of learning,” “upstanding student.” A perfect solution.

    Calvin, you took this episode one step too far. Mom was handling your misbehaving very calmly, explaining what you did had consequences for others, and then you blew it. Better learn from this.

    Do any of you dorks get that this is a comic of a kid with an overactive imagination? Yes I do get aggravated by my nephews imaginations at times but I wouldnt change it for the world nor punish them just for makin me late for school. Its more time with the kid while they grow up and more stories to embarrass them with at the high school graduation and more.

    I don’t see what Laughter2K10 said that has Trainwreck in such an uproar. Dork isn’t a swear word, and his/her opinion is the majority here. We happen to enjoy Calvin.

    I had someone tell me she was offended by the word tramp, but said she didn’t even know what it meant, which also helps explain all the spelling around here.

    I can see that Laughter shouldn’t be calling other commenters demeaning names, even if the name isn’t a “swear word”.

    But I’d rather see flagging than flogging, and my issue is the idea of a “Board of Education” being applied to Calvin’s rump. Corporal punishment would destroy the strip. First, not many who actually like Calvin would enjoy seeing it applied, or seeing Calvin magically turn into a goody-two-shoes thereafter. Second, I actually think it would be likelier not to work, but rather turn Calvin into a vicious sort who would just try to damage everybody for the sake of vandalizing their lives. We’ve all seen enough of that type in real life. I prefer the super-committed visionary we’ve got!

    Er. Calvin does turn good for an interesting turn (or rather, a transmogrified “clone” of him does), and oddly enough, I find him even more interesting that way.

    It’s easy (relatively speaking, now that Calvin and Hobbes has pioneered the way) to portray a child that’s a total screwball. It’s hard to portray a child who knows when to be totally serious and when to be a total screwball. Hollywood doesn’t know how to do it, no cartoonist I know of knows how to do it, even Bill W. only succeeded because he allowed himself the license of having Calvin clone his “good side”. (The creators of some older characters come close, to be fair.)

    If she’s a stay-at-home mom without even a part-time job to go to during the hours Calvin is in school and Calvin takes the bus anyhow … why would they need two cars? One salary has to go a long way in that household (especially when Calvin and his best buddy, Hobbes, destroy everything in the living room while playing!) so it would just seem to me that two cars would be an unnecessary luxury for them.

    By the way, we’re all adults here (or at least we’re supposed to be anyhow).

    This comic may be about the antics of a precocious 6-year-old boy with a stuffed tiger and an overly-active imagination but I don’t think that means WE have to behave like we’re 6-year-old kids too.

    Why can’t we politely agree to disagree sometimes and just leave it at that? Why does anybody have to call someone else names of ANY kind just because you don’t particularly (agree) with something they’ve said? As long as the forum’s rules aren’t violated in any way, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and no one should either be attacked for expressing that opinion or be forced into silence for fear of being attacked for their opinion so please have the decency to be respectful. If you wouldn’t want someone to talk this way towards you for expressing your opinion, then please don’t talk that way towards someone else when they express theirs.

    My “Mommie Dearest” mother had that look on her face all too frequently. The fact that both my sister and I are still alive is an extraordinary testimony to the grace of God. I still can’t watch the movie even to this day at the age of 66 - too painful.
