    Sheesh, Calvin finally finds someone to validate his ego and it all goes bad. Pride, thy name is Calvin Mud. (He doesn’t even rate the second “d”. Tough break kid.

    thought it was funny. it’s great Calvin gets to be knighted…we’ll have to see about the mud part. Loved how the father talked about ‘finite’ patience…great strip:)

    That’ll give you something through which to drag your name, Calvin!… Isn’t that right, gayfatnakedvet (from 3 days ago)? :o) No offense is intended, dogsniff; i’m just kidding with the grammar alteration. It’s just a tip, but you may keep the change!

    Calvin must have been a knight of The (g)round table, but it rained again. Now it’s mud! That’s my idea of a dirty joke (and a poor pun, to boot).

    He’ll probably grow up, be put in stasis till the 22nd century, where he gets on the wrong side of a star ship captain.

    Calvin certainly is a special case that needs the proper methods of handling

    I remember a “Capt Mudd” who caused Capt Kirk some problems, probably cause Mudd had more girls than Kirk

    Actually, During the days of Abraham Lincoln. Dr. Mudd was the physician that treated Mr Booth after the assassination of Lincoln.. Thus the expression.. Your name is Mudd… Usually said… “Your name is MUDD.. Thats M! U! D! D! ”

    To replace Walter Cronkite who was forced to retire, CBS tapped Dan Rather than Roger. His name was Mudd.

    Wrong Kerovan. that was Cyrano Jones who was engaged in the buying & selling of rare merchandise, including, unfortunately, tribbles.

    Harcourt Fenton Mudd was involved in wiving settlers and providing Venus drugs to them. He then found Mudd when he was abducted by the androids to his new home. Thanks to Capt. Kirk, it is also home to 500 Stella Mudds.

    You fell way too easy for that one, Calvin! Good one, Dad.

    Gnasher Slasher, I’ve seen others with that problem on laptop touch pads. No biggie. Just be kind and erase the duplicates. Most commenters do:^)

    GoComo2011 That was an accident I’m sure. Guess it’s never happened to you. And some people come here to comment, but unlike some others on here, don’t have all day to sit here, and I’m sure are totally unaware how many times that posted.

    Grog, you have watched WAY TOO MANY Star Trek shows and reruns!!!!!! Just kidding, I will always love Star Trek and all its derivatives.

    Brings back memories of taking a study break while in college to go down to the TV room in the dorm basement to watch the weekly episode. Standing room only.

    My favorite Captain name (not a mudd) was Cap Huff (Kenneth Roberts …’Arundel’, ‘Northwest Passage’, etc)

    Cap Huff’s full name was Saved From Captivity Huff.

    The history of Mudd in that case is muddy. But in Calvins case its clear,his name is Mud by royal decree no less.
