    Tisk tisk. Just wait until you learn about the taxes you’ll have to pay and how they are wasted.

    I say deal dad. I picked my job. I didn’t pick my school as a kid. I’ll go with all the bull my job has over school any day.

    Enjoy life while you still can, kid. Things don’t get any better when you grow up.

    Some people grow up. Others just get taller. There are a lot of very tall children where I live.

    Love that expression in the final panel. Looks like mine as I go for more blood tests this morning. Sigh, more needles.

    Just as well Dad focussed on the good bits. His little mind would have exploded otherwise.

    Calvin, unlike most kids, heard Dad speak of responsibilities on which income is spent. Most kids see only the stuff (read cars or clothes) they can buy.

    You’re all so negative. Had my ups and downs in 76 years, still enjoyed a lot and will keep doing so. It is all as you take it. Your decision.

    My doctor, when I was a kid, said that to me when I was complaining about some school assignment. Now, I tell my kids that they only have to deal with a disliked teacher for a semester (or maybe a full academic year), but a horrible boss can go on and on and on for years until either s/he leaves for one reason or another or you do.

    I’ll take being an adult over being a kid any day. More responsibility but all of the choices are mine to make. You are in control (for the most part) of your life, as a child you have no control and no say.

    I’m with B-the-red, working beats school in all ways except the long summer vacations—miss those. But work to earn money beats work to earn grades any day of the week.

    If someone had convinced me the best years of my life was being a kid in school while I was one myself I would’ve killed myself, literally. Luckily no one did so I knew it would get better, and it did.

    Everyone has been optomistic so far – ie with a job that pays 5% less than your expenses – and then the business goes overseas – and every creditor thinks he should be paid first.

    Workers revenge: Years ago, a maintenance worker at a specialty meat packing plant in Hannibal, Mo. was in hospital a week or so. When he returned to work, he was told that he was no longer needed – hit the road and don’t come back.But, he did come back – his next job:USDA meat inspector!(Glad I’m retired)

    Memories of childhood vary from person to person. On the whole, if they are good memories of playing and being with friends, they may seem like the best years of your life, but all life has it’s own joy, if you live it well.

    it’s " ’til " not " till ". A till is something you put money into or do to the soil. ’Til is an abbreviation of until. I know that this strip is an ancient repeat, but it would be nice if we could use the language properly…
