Some of the elements are there. He has a way better vocabulary than the average 6 year old and his imagination is incredible. At minimum it’s probably safe to say he’s smarter than average.
I has a boss whose IQ was well into the stratosphere. He was difficult to work for. He had no patience with us idiots who could not see problems or solve them as fast as he could. He was an intellectual bully who liked to throw his intelligence around.
Unlike a lot of people who think they know it all, he was close to actually knowing it all and that was worse.
Maybe Calvin read about Comando’s going “Commando” in the Jungles,etc. with the rear of their britches split to allow quick and easy “answering of the Call of Nature” so that they are not caught with their britches down by the Enemy. So Calvin wanted to try it.“Hey Wait,don’t shoot till I get my britches up!” You-all Be Safe And Have A Great Day!

No Calvin. You’re about as smart as Billy Madison.

Hobbes, as always is most observant and adept at a good put-down that usually is over Calvin’s head.

How did he zip up if his zipper is in the back? And how did he not figure it out?

Whomever gave Calvin the idea that he was a genius? Cannot imagine either his parents or his teachers put that idea into his head.

As the saying goes, Calvin, it’s what you learn AFTER you know it all that really counts!

Calvin puts on his pants the same as everybody else: One leg at a time. Don’t try to confuse him with BS about some other technique.
