Those are some of the best days: when nobody else wants to share it.
I also love the detail about the glasses—but he puts them back on far too soon.

I never really considered it before, but Calvin’s dad is one of the toughest men in all of comicdom. Think about it: he’s a cyclist who endures grueling hardship; he likes roughing it, during their annual camping trips; he likes brutally cold days; and, most telling of all, he endures Calvin: day in, day out.What a tough guy! What a MAN!
