You duck out on helping your wife to raise your own kid, and I’ll bet you can just stay there permanently!

Yup—as Jason said above, I love how Dad just sits there like this is an ordinary day in the house.

One of my favorite strips honestly. Calvin’s mom (which is her full name apparently, thanks Bill) displaying one of two expressions she ever possesses in the entire series, Calvin’s Dad (also official name) clearly regretting ever getting involved with romance, and Calvin acting like a 6-year-old only for his parent(s) to snap at him and then expect him to not act like a 6-year-old when they could have easily explained why his behavior is wrong.Oh, and can’t forget Leggo. Calvin’s catchphrase.
