‘No one else at the office talks about this kind of thing.’
Just like you don’t talk about Calvin at work, either! >B^D Think, Calvin’s Dad: how many other men at your office might well have kids like Calvin at home?!
Oh, one other: Danger waiting for you, if Calvin were to ever find out how you seem to regard him!! 8^0
Heck, I would have taken a photo of it and hung it on my office wall as a warning to anyone who wanted to mess with me. Or anyone thinking about having kids. At any rate, laughter would have ensued.
That’s a lot of work for a 6-year old to make all those snowmen, and also the signs. And where does he get all that snow of the right temperature to make a snowman?
I love how his parents always act victimized and never place blame on Calvin’s rebelliousness on their own often misguided parenting. They did raise one very bright, talented and spunky kid though!
One of my favorite snowmen strips! Of course, regarding “Later bedtimes, fewer baths,” by the time you get older it’s actually “Later bedtimes, more showers!”
At least he was not my parents, who were subjected to a Letter To The Editor in the local newspaper from me at age 14, complaining about the communist parents I had who were stifling freedom loving Americans like me and their KGB-like punishments for deviant thought and speech.
They were proud that the newspaper editor commented on both my penmanship and my command of the American English language, making said letter the first that the editor did not have to edit in over 20 years.
Later that week, my parents got a call from my English 10 teacher on the quality of my writing and how pleased she was I was so creative; but at the same time publicly embarrassed by coworkers and friends.
In the end, nothing changed of course, and I was lectured about the proper use of the public media.

It would be best if you didn’t talk about Calvin with your colleagues. It wouldn’t reflect positively on you as a father.

I love the various Calvin snowmen. This one is kind of tame, actually.

What are the snowmen complaining about? They don’t have to do homework or take baths and they can go to the snow bed anytime they want.

I wonder if Calvin’s Dad knocks back a double or triple at the end of the day or does he just take the whole fifth back to his recliner?

I love the snowmen series; they are among the classics of this strip, and I can’t stop thanking Bill for them!
