Does it ‘bug’ you that Calvin is a human insect two days in a row? Is it better to say “two days in a row”, or “two consecutive days” …or does it matter?
While Calvin’s parents aren’t exactly Ward and June Cleaver by any stretch of the imagination, I certainly hope that this would not be their first reaction to his death!

Dad turns a new page and his son is the human insect no more. Welcome Calvin Pancake von Avenger, 2D knight from Paper World.

@Number Six,Apparently Calvin is “turning over a new leaf”. He ‘reformed’ as a human insect, didn’t he?
Puddleglum2 almost 13 years ago
It’s a good thing that Calvin doesn’t drink alcoholic beverages. He might be going on a bender in the binder.

Calvin is lingering so long on a page that he could be arrested and ‘booked’ for loitering.

When it comes to Calvin, and any time he is quiet it is time to be alarmed.

Calvin is feeling the weight of a good education.

I wanted to make a pun using the word “flip” as in “flip the page” and his parents “flipping out”, but it was too lame.

Since I’m learning English, I don’t know which I find more interesting, and comic, the strips or the comments?

Anyone learning English is going to have a hard time today with some commenters. I know English, and Guffaw has me confused.

Silence isn’t necessarily golden in Calvin’s house. Besides, he’s getting some early practice to become a bureaucrat…

Hmm—with that dense text, that doesn’t look like a 6-year-old’s schoolbook. No wonder it’s taking him 20 minutes to turn a page.

Did Gocomics buy just 1 year’s worth of C&H strips? I definitely read this one recently and just about the only place I would have read it is here.
