Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 13, 2014

Does fatherhood have term limits?

Perhaps Calvin will do it, when he is grown up?

Calvin’s dad never seems to care what the polls say. Therefore, Calvin’s information is useless.

Let’s hear it for grandparents!

Hobbes can run.

Ouch, and true. Revenge is sweetest when served cold- like gramps telling your kid what YOU did when YOU were their age.

In 15 years time, Calvin will wonder at how much smarter his father has become over those years…

Calvin for president!

The wonderful thing about grandchildren is that you can give them back…

Your mother has the deciding vote.

Pop needs to start taking applications

I’d like to see you in the same position, Calvin. Your approval rating will probably be rock bottom.

If only politicians would do what is right instead of what is popular…

Big promises made; few promises fulfilled.

Dad has a point. It’s not a popularity contest.

…not only does fatherhood not have term limits, in Gremany, it doesn’t have a statute of limitations either:

Wow, Calvin was grooming himself for congress!

Lame duck term… for parents, a term is about 40 years.

Yes, That would take the heavy weight off Dad’s shoulders.

I have the feeling Calvin’s polling sample is somewhat small for real statistical significance…

Calvin’s Dad (fortunately for him), takes comfort in the fact that not many people would want his job as a Dad anyway. Moreover, being a Dad is not an elected position; and so he has no obligation whatsoever to respond to polls from “all” the six-year-olds living in the same house (i.e., there is only one!). o:-D
