Coming Soon š At the beginning of April, youāll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
I just went back and read the posts from after my bedtime last night (or during the World Series). A really good thread. We seem to have a few readers for whom English is not their native tongue. This is a great way to learn colloquial English (a VERY difficult language) and to expand your vocabulary. I first learned what āinvulnerableā means from reading Superman comics as a kid.
Itās also a great way for young people to learn to carry on an adult conversation. You donāt say things as an adult or to adults that you would say to other 12-year-olds, or that you hear on sitcoms.
Ray C ā Reading posts is also a good way to learn about self-righteousness and smarminess. Or how to be unctuous and how to talk down to others. Or how to sound sincere and full of nonsense at the same time.
I dunno ā¦ Calvinās dad looks pretty on top of things. Are M/M Taxpayer all that with it? We keep forking out the billions to anyone fatcat who says he needs āem.
I noticed the way Calvinās fatherās face frowning while Calvin talked about the credit card. Will he fall for it? Naaah! He would not trust Calvin with his nonsense magic. lols!
ādad will defintly know heās being fooled but calvin is still v.v smart for a 6 year old ray.c this isnāt skool who cares if words are spelt wrongā
Were you addressing me? I donāt think I mentioned anything about misspelled words. They do make an impression on people who read them, though, now that you mention it.

And anyway, donāt read so much into it. Calvin just wants to escape from a horrible situation (-parents!) just like the rest of us do! ;)

Dad can tell when heās being bamboozled. Heās an attorney (albeit a patent attorney).
Incidentally this is why I still hve faith that America will not allow itself to be bamboozled into a similar redistributing of the wealth.
If I didnāt know better Iād think this was drawn yesterday.
