Start him early, Mom. Give him some daily chores and make sure he does them. Before he realizes it, he’ll be able to take care of himself and whoever his wife ends up being, in sickness and in health. Maybe even doing it for the pleasure it gives her.
That was the response I always got when I asked if I could have an allowance. “We allow you to live here. We allow you to eat here. That’s your allowance.”
May God bless you for your service, and of course may God bless those who created our great country, and may He have tolerance with those who are trying to bring it down…

Take the deal. Calvin. It may be the only guarantee you get that they will put up with you for 18 years….

I love the look of Calvin in the second panel. Putting things in perspective… that’s hilarious.

Putting things in the right perspective does wonders for one’s motivation. So maybe Calvin needs to search a little farther in this case. . .
