Just look at the vocabulary and sentence structure! Calvin hates school so much that he is at least high school level and is bored to tears with collecting bugs.
We don’t give the kids an allowance. You want money? Then you do some work around the house and voila you get paid. You don’t get money just for being in the house.
And along with that money, we’ll teach you how to save, spend, and donate. Excellent life lessons.
Let’s see. I’ll give you $5 each week. For this I will expect you to complete a list of 10 chores each week. I will fine you $1 for each task that is not adequately completed each week.
This week I see you owe me $4. Thank you for taking out the trash.
Does Calvin know of any other candidates for the dad position? Seems like the only other adult males in his life are Hobbes, the principal, and occasionally Uncle Max.

The only poll that matters is on Election Day — but there is no election.

A majority implies more than one, Calvin. But then you are only 6.

How bad of an allowance do you want, Calvin? From $5 to to $3?

Pretty bold of you to take this poll on the heels of the car incident, Calvin.

Keep yer ideas to yerself, kid. Dad isn’t into loan restructuring.

Dad’s serious, and the only innovation he’s going to go for with Calvin’s allowance involves cutting it!

Some times, the only decision a irked leader will make quickly and decisively is to say ‘no’.

Polls are polls. And allowance is allowance. And never the twain shall meet.

Dad thinks he can lead Calvin up to bed! That is so funny. He might be able to carry, corral, or herd, but I doubt he could lead Calvin to bed.

Go ahead pop, carry him upstairs by his overdeveloped testicles.

With the car in the ditch incident safely behind him, Calvin can now move into the world of politics.

After what you pulled with the car, Calvin, you’re very brave to bring this up now.

Serious discussions and decisions are never made by dads of 6 year old, Calvin.

I’m not sure I’d ask for a raise in my allowance so soon after pushing the car into a ditch…
