Too negative folks. Calvin is a typical boy, he will be structive; he can be either constructive or destructive, just depends upon how he is instructed. Too many boys today are not allowed to be boys, boisterous, irascible, and slightly defiant. He generally does what he is told but may have his own way of doing it. If Mr. Watterson had followed Calvin to adulthood like Lynn Johnston in her strip I am sure that Calvin would be a fine self-sufficient adult. I’m not going to comment on any previous poster’s experiences growing up, those are theirs. I put that baggage down long ago and made sure none of my kids had to carry it.
