I am currently not at my house at the moment, therefore I cannot recall the date of the strip I want to post a link to. Check back later today, when I will be home.
It would take an act of Congress to get the ski lift built!
Although it is already taxing for Calvin to pull his toboggan up the hill, he has no idea how bad it’ll (another contraction) be if it becomes a “gov’t (still another) project”…
The year is 1988. You have an NES, you got Ghosts n’ Goblins for your birthday, and you have the most sarcastic dad in the universe. What a time to be alive.

It’s 1987 and your Dad hasn’t bought a VCR, what are the chances for a ski lift?

Calvin should be able to tell when he’s father is being sarcastic by now.

I liked sledding as a kid and I would have appreciated a ski lift too!

At six years old that mountain is probably about three feet high

There’s a hill in their backyard? I always thought he was going somewhere else for the sledding.

You need more exercise if a hill ‘in your back yard’ is too much to climb.

In Dad’s mind, walking uphill in the snow builds character.

He thought about it, and he laughed and laughed…. ;)

Calvin could just install a jet engine on the toboggan so he wouldn’t need a ski lift to go back uphill.

If I were Calvin’s dad: “No, but I have this toe lift I should use more often.”

Couldn’t he get M.C. Escher to install a toboggan run that ends at the beginning?
