    Your parents will have something else in mind, Calvin? Like, say, do your homework and clean your bedroom.

    How old is this comic? The TV is out of the 1950’s.

    I rarely watch TV, but I might watch more if I could find one of those jumping ones.

    I grew up in the TV generation (1950s) – we’d rather be OUT than watching TV. TV was a thing for “after dark” and on Saturday morning for cartoons.

    Is that Hobbs he’s leaning against in the third panel, or a pillow?

    Being free to do what I want is the same as being free to not do whatever I want. I’m okay with that.

    Freedom! Thanks to the progressive politicians who protect freedom of expression for ultra violent and sexual movies! We know that children will never see those, right?

    Piers Anthony in his Xanth series referred to the television as the “hypno-gourd.” Not too far from wrong. I would have been allowed to watch TV after school only if I had done my homework and chores. I learned to get those things done fairly quickly (except for math, that was always a pain) and then I could pretty much do as I pleased.

    Why does nobody understand that Watterson draws the TV bouncing as cartoon exaggeration for when it’s turned on?

    Nothing wrong with using your free time to relax and do nothing, as long as you’re not neglecting any responsibilities.

    I’m at the age where I cannot watch television for more than about 30 minutes at a time. I hear the “death-clock” ticking down and feel the urge to do more productive things. Fortunately, we live in an age of easy recording for “time-shift” watching.

    Of course, when I was Calvin’s age, I had done my homework before getting home and dashed straight in to watch “Popeye the Sailor”. :)

    “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” It’s no wonder that the declaration of independence is not a legal document.

    The droopy eyes in the last panel give different story, fella. Have fun with Hobbes outside, instead.
