At least, both Calvin and Hobbes have experience with this sort of situation. Today’s strip is from 1989. Here is an early one from 1986:Click here: Calvin and Hobbes (April 13, 1986)
Although my dad did allow me to “drive” or rural roads out in the country when I was big enough to reach the pedals, two of my wife’s brothers actually “borrowed” their mom’s car for a short trek.She briefly left the boys in the car with the keys in the ignition and they managed to start it, engage the “D” pushbutton (it was a 1963 Chrysler Imperial), and take it for a “spin”. The younger brother operated the pedals while the older one stood on the seat to steer. They managed to “drive” the car between two buildings on a nearby property, where the space was so tight the doors could not be opened. Not a scratch on the car, and it had to be pulled out of the space to get the kids out. True story…

Looks like Calvin’s clubhouse plans are up-in-the-air, as is his future.
