    uma7c, I second your comment. That panel is brilliant.

    Calvin, all your problems have to do with the glue. So whatever you do don’t come unglued.

    First panel: Shouldn’t that be “cRackles” instead of “cackles”?? —Typo or another bonus joke, Mr. Watterson?

    They never look quite like the picture on the box. And if they don’t look right, can they work right?

    Probably should have been Pray You “COME” unglued. Then he could eject.

    Anyone know the correct date of publish for this comic?

    Previous installments [of this comic series] are dated –0421 but, this is clearly –0315.

    The comic is brilliant indeed!

    What happens when the pilot needs to eject and he’s glued to the seat?

    Childish frustration with plastic models isn’t unique to just kids. My confession….

    Three years ago, for my 67th birthday, my gifts included a model kit of a ‘55 Chevy Nova—a semi-joke from my kids because of my constant bragging about the great car I used to drive. The box picture brought back great memories and since I was now far more mature, skilled and patient than a mere child, I accepted a challenge I hadn’t tried since a kid.

    With the skill of a surgeon I diligently applied myself to my potential masterpiece, sparing nothing by way of tools, time, organizational skills, patience and wisdom. All went incredibly well until I approached the final assembly stage several weeks later……something just wouldn’t fit quite right and after a few hours of sanding, tweaking, regluing, repainting, smudging, swearing and shaking, both me and my car finally SNAPPED.

    LIke Calvin, my mantel masterpiece was history after a private game of Destruction Derby.

    Looks like I was right. It became a fine example of an aircraft disaster. My models usually looked okay, but little things would be off…like the wheels wouldn’t move.

    To kalakini: The publish date incongruity might be right. If these were published in sequence, it would be a rare example of the Sunday comic being part of the dailies plot line. That didn’t happen very often, because the Sunday deadlines were so much earlier than the deadline for dailies.

    Re smeared cockpit: if you’ve ever done a model, you know the anguish that happens when you touch any clear plastic part with the least bit of glue on your fingers. The glue actually etches into the clear plastic, smearing it into an awful mess and, need I say, no longer clear sigh.

    @grazer, that can happen in RL too: a brother-in-law is restoring a his-and-her pair of cars (well, he hopes so. It may be five or ten years before he gets to hers…), but when he put on the driver’s side door, it wouldn’t open far enough. Long story short, the driver’s side door hinge was actually a passenger side hinge, only not even the seller realized. Very minor differences. About the only way to distinguish them was to put two side by side, or use the method my b-i-l did…
