I remember as a kid hearing the snarky little girls across the way singsonging, “Teeter totter, bread and water, wash your face in toilet water!” Knowing those little brats they meant water from the facility, not eau de toilette.
Mom and Dad should spend less time reading and pay more attention to what “Little Damien” is always doing! But then again, I guess there would be no Calvin comic strip if that happened.
There was a wonderful comic in the late 1980s on Mother Goose and Grimm. It showed Grimmy drinking out of the toilet and then commenting “It doesn’t get any better than this.”
Don’t knock it, Mom – he’s probably leaving less water on the floor than he would if he were in the tub, pretending to be a shark… not to mention the fact that you stay dry.

I hope he flushed it before he got in.

That is a serious good idea – they should apply this to bathtubs!

This is probably my all-time favorite cartoon by any cartoonist. Makes me laugh every time I see it.

Did Watterson attend the same art school as Bil Keene (Family Circus) as both had problems in drawing their characters to scale?

My idea was a little car wash for kids..put them in at one end and they come out clean and buffed at the other. My wife didn’t think much of the idea.

Calvin’s face was flushed, but his shoulders saved him.

This one reminds me of the strips about Hobbes in the washer or the dryer. That may have given Calvin the idea.
