Thanks, but unfortunately GoComics got rid of the tags when they changed over to the new system recently. One problem with these comic strip sites is that they keep changing. So if you want to keep some information permanently, it’s best to save it on your own computer, and have a backup system.By the way, you write very well, and I was surprised to learn that you are 13 years old.
I just found out yesterday on a different comic that this one is merging with GC as of June 1st of next week. They have close to the same there will be a few new ones. With people working on technology see if this happens then.
Flagging used to just bring it to the site’s attention that someone objected. Then someone there decided if it was actually inappropriate, possibly depending on the number of flags. Don’t know about the new system.
Obviously Calvin has been staying up very late and catching some of the “Playboy Mansion.l” Timing would have been about right. Guess I’m just older than the rest of you…. :-(Or more to his tastes of scary creatures he may have caught the odd snippet of that horror show (again on very late) with the beautifully made up goth, who’s name eludes me now!
Who does Calvin think his dad is . . . Hugh Hefner?!?!? Because “Hef” is the only guy on Earth that I know of that could actually get away with doing that!!!!!!!!!!
To Ms. Newman… not sure about the flagging thing, but “Some Troll” would be a great name for a Rock band,…or a screen name. I might be a troll in a future life.

You asked an unanswerable question…

Femal roommates are sometimes dangerous, look at Arnold Schwarzenegger, especially when they are scantily clad!!

The Chinese ideogram for “trouble” is two “women” under one “roof.” Several instead of two only compounds the problem.

So this is why the V-Chip was invented!

Calvin, the instigator.

Calvin, the precocious. Where did he pick up the concept of “scantily clad” at six years old?

Too much Harem Anime for you young man.

Since this was 1985 Calvin was more likely viewing a certain magazine or cable – not the internet.
Shame on you dad for not putting the lock out code in place …

The answer Calvin is, bad luck or no luck! :)

Reality TV like Big Brother wasn’t invented at the time right? Maybe Calvin was watching HBO…
@Susan: Your posts are still here; it says “about 1 hour ago” from here.

Calvin you need to stop asking the wrong questions.
cdward over 13 years ago
I figured he was watching “Three is Enough” with Suzanne Sommers. That’s about the right time period.
Charles Brobst Premium Member over 13 years ago

GROG Premium Member over 13 years ago
No doubt that simpe question was spawned from watching too much (of the wrong) television, Calvin.
Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠!

One can only dream . . . but don’t let anyone else bring it up. Nip it in the bud, bud.

Been there, done that Calvin. Eventually you find that it’s tough to keep up with the chores even one woman assigns you.

Does flagging a post make it disappear? I thought it just meant “I disapprove.”

It will obviously be up to the site’s discretion whether a flagged post gets removed.

There’s only one answer to that question: marriage!

@MatureCanadian: I believe that would be Elvira (Cassandra Peterson). Great show! Loved the bustier!

Look at panel 3, don’t the arm cushions on dad’s chair look like something one might see on a scantily clad roomate?

I shared a two-bedroom apartment with a couple of college girls. It wasn’t exactly “come knock on my door” but it was a blast.
