Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 24, 1990
Transcript:
Calvin: Hi dad. I suppose you're wondering how you're doing in the polls. Dad: Not really. Calvin: I think you'll find this chart quite revealing. This line represents the "average dad approval rating" of 70%. This overlay shows your approval rating at just under 10%! Household six-year-olds were polled on their favorite bedtimes. Watch on these successive overlays how your rating would improve with each hour later! See, by midnight, you're right up to normal! These findings suggest a logical course of action. Dad: How long do you spend making these charts?

Calvin is fitted for a future career in sales pitch. The amount of detail in his presentations belie his age – truly a prodigy in lobbying a pointless scheme.
