To quote Bill Watterson from The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book:
“Early on, Calvin’s parents were criticized by readers for being unloving and needlessly sarcastic. (Calvin’s Dad has remarked that all he really wanted was a dog.) At the time, I think it was unusual for a comic strip to focus on the exasperating aspects of kids without a lot of hugs and sentimentality to leaven it. We usually only see Calvin’s parents when they’re reacting to Calvin, so as secondary characters, I’ve tried to keep them realistiic, with a reasonable sense of humor about having a kid like Calvin. I think they do a better job than I would.”
