Calvin: Here's the latest poll of household 6-year-olds, Dad. An overwhelming majority express amazement at how little you've accomplished as Dad so far. The mipression is that you're avoiding all the hard decisions that need to be made. In fact, none of those polled could name a single insance of true paternal leadership. Dad: How about if I lead you upstairs to your bed? Calvin: Ha ha. If we can be serious for a moment, I have some innovative ideas about my allowance.

I like to think the strip, while taking the course of many years, may actually have been one year of Calvin’s life. Every time we go to these “polls,” we’re glimpsing at any particular day of a two-three week period when Calvin was obsessed with the democratic process.
