    Maybe not, Dad, but my boss will lie on HIS deathbed wishing I had spent more time at the office.

    I am blessed to have an office job to go to, especially on the days that my husband’s Needy, Hairy cats are dancing in my face!

    Sometimes the office can be an escape from home. Then again, things can happen at home while you are away at the office:Click here: Calvin and Hobbes (February 7, 1991)Click here: Calvin and Hobbes (January 27, 1986)

    My dad’s best parenting time was when he was at work.

    Anything to get away from Calvin, I guess. Haha

    Apparently, even the presence of a positive Calvin turns Dad off.

    Hi LX013. The man in the boat has just died (perhaps at the office, judging from the way he is dressed), and “Death” is the ferryman taking him across the river from Earth to the Underworld of Greek and Roman mythology.The expression, “It’s a living,” is an old expression in English. When someone asks you how you like your job, and you reply, “It’s a living,” it means that you aren’t very excited about your job, but at least it keeps the bills paid – at least you are “making a living” and “putting food on the table.”The humor is because Death says, “It’s a living,” but Death is not living, and they are in a place where nothing is living.

    Poor Calvin! This one is, like some others said, sad, and quite touching. Calvin can be a good boy sometimes, you know.

    @watmiwori: Yes, The Non Sequitur strip that I posted today is a case where Wiley Miller reminds me of Johnny Hart of B.C. Johnny Hart was the master of wit when it came to using the English language in clever ways.
