It is a really poorly drawn bike or Watterson is clueless as how to size a bike as you should be able to straddle the top bar without the top bar touching your boy equipment and this bike the the top bar looks like it is up to Calvin’s eyes.
Good thing it doesn’t have the inverted French handlebars; he could get gored. I am glad that those style of handlebars have been deprecated. They only provided the slightest bit of improvement to athletes who trained at riding in an exceedingly uncomfortable position but somehow were “de rigeur” for decades. It was a fad based on false information. Remember fiberglass netting tailgates?
One of the prime rules of parenting. You might not believe in monsters, demonic dolls, or Satanic bikes, but your kid does so take his fear seriously and remove the scary object.

See if there’s anything in the garbage that you can feed to the bicycle first.

Just learn to ride the bike, it’ll take you further than your savings ever could! You can thank me later!

Calvin might have a future writing horror stories. Move over Stephen King.

Why don’t they rein it in with training wheels, or be helpful for a change.

Does Calvin even understand the value of money? I don’t know why but it brings this commercial to mind…

If you can pedal, er…peddle some wares to fund the trip, reasonably far, Calvin! :D

We had a rather beat-up 20" bike that five of us learned to ride on. Dad couldn’t see any point in getting us new bicycles until we knew how to ride.

The best way to tame a wild bike is to put a basket on it. No bike can be wild, or cool, with a basket on the handle bars.

Forget about killer bicycles; if I had ever asked my Mom if she was “mad,” I’d never have made it to the garage unscathed!
