When I was a HS freshman, my favorite teacher (history) was also the frosh coach. I only played football, but since I liked him I volunteered to be the manager for the basketball team – then he told me I had wear a tie on game day just like the players. Well, maybe not just like….
My gameday outfit (now remember this was 1970): red-and-white-Coke-can-swirl pants, electric blue socks, a chartruese shirt, and a short, wide, plaid tie my dad wore in HS in the ‘40s. Stylin’ for sure!
Long ago I knew a man who was both red-green and blue-orange color blind. His wife usually laid out clothes for him and we could sure tell when she didn’t!

I bet those other clothes were jealous that Calvin only wore his trademark red striped shirt and black pants, and wanted a change of pace for once.

Later in the ’90’s, those would grow into the height of fashion.

If Mr. Watterson did this strip today, he could put him in a bro romper.

Plaid and striped clash. They just don’t go together. It either has to be one or the other.
