Considering Mom’s reaction in that last panel, Calvin really nailed Dad right there. Also, how many times in the strips entire run have we actually seen her laugh?

That impression was on the nose.

This is the only time Calvin did something so funny he actually made his mom laugh hysterically. Why? Because imitating his own dad while wearing his glasses and combing his hair to match his dad’s is what his mom finds very hilarious. And it ’cause all of those things are true about his dad.

This one is funny but I wouldn’t call it the best one ever by far, there are some that consider more sophisticated plots that are probably better (my opinion)
