In the near end of the binoculars arc, Calvin’s father said Calvin would probably wrecking the car in ten years. If the combined GROSS car in ditch arcs preceded the arc I’m referring to, then Calvin got an early start.
Al Gore totaled his family car when he was 16, put it in a ditch. I think he admitted that in “An Inconvenient Truth”. Just a typical American kid, but wouldn’t the world be different, if he had become president. Now we only have school kids like Greta in Sweden and it’s probably too late to prevent what is going to happen.
I had caused my first car wreck before I was in school. We were going down the road when I decided I would drive. I then grabbed the steering wheel and pulled over tinto the ditch. Happily the only casualty was the root beers we were carrying home for floats. Needless to say this was long before there were car seats and seat belts.
Oh just get away from there and go play somewhere else. When the subject comes up just act like you have no idea what it’s about. Act natural. No guilt. Not gonna happen, we know.
The car in the garage & being pushed reminded me too much of our white ’77 Volvo 242 we had for 14 years. It was rear ended by a drunk in a big Chevy. Trunk totally pushed in, but my wife was able to drive it home. Had the Body shop of a Volvo dealer in Mission KS do the repair. It cost $6000, & the insurance company said if it was any other car but a Volvo.. they would have totaled it.
Down here in the eastern part of the globe you need to be 18 to wreck the car. Calvin does activities way beyond d his age. Let’s see what parents have to say after witnessing this.

Judging by some early strips, this is far from Calvin’s first time wrecking the car. He’ll get off easy here in comparison.

At 6 years old, that flash will be a quick blip…followed soon by a bang and a loud “OW!”

Actually, be thankful for the ditch. Otherwise the car would still be going down the street, gaining speed…
