Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 13, 1990
Transcript:
Doctor: Yep, that's chicken pox all right. Calvin: Chicken pox?! Mom, what is this guy? A veterinarian?! Doctor: The virus should run its course in about a week. Calvin: He's mad! Mad, I say! I'll bet the real doctor is tied up and gagged in the other exam room! Doctor: He's extremely contagious, so keep him away from other kids. Calvin: Sue him, mom! Drive his malpractice insurance up! Mom: Calvin has to be inside for a week?? Doctor: That's a nasty twitch you've developed. Calvin: Hey doc, for 10 bucks I'll make sure you see those kids in the waiting room again real soon!

I thought it was good to infect other kids so they get it young instead of in adulthood which can be hazardous to certain areas…

You’d think since he just has to be away from other kids she’d just send him out into those woods he’s always in. That way he wouldn’t be there bugging her but not infecting everyone else.
