    That’s what you get for letting him read MAD Magazine.

    reminds me of Louie Anderson in his semi-autobiograpahical animated TV series (aired a year before C&H discontinued, TV show ending four years after C&H’s discontinue)

    2 things I want to say:

    Firstly Dad, don’t give him a counter – that’s your fault to letting him know when to act like thatSecondly, Calvin: Keep it and Dad will take care of you personally, and he won’t care about going to jail either.

    I had a technique for taking pictures of my grandchildren. I’d focus on one part of the room, wait for a child to run through it and press the shutter. It works best on bright, sunny days when I can shoot at 1/1000 sec shutter speed.

    LOL- Calvin’s “DURRRR” face here is one of the funniest one-panel shots ever- the timing is just PERFECT. He’s just being such a wisenheimer about it, too.

    Okay, I may be stupid, but why not take a candid of C and share it instead of trying to re-mold a “unique” character as some perfect image of childhood??

    I don’t see a separate viewfinder on this film camera, so it’s probably single-lens reflex. That means Dad can’t see what’s going on when he presses the shutter, so Calvin should have gotten away with these faces.

    I used to take pictures of kids on ponies. The one thing I learned is to say or do something silly to get the kid’s attention and then when they realize the joke get the picture before they remember their sitting on an animal thrice their size.

    I’d say Dad’s education is seriously lacking.

    The advantage of digital cameras. Erase the old photos and start again. Not to mention the capacity.

    LOL! I’m betting in the third panel, Calvin is probably saying “DIIIIIIHHHHH!” as he “smiles” for the photo.

    Ahh – memories of pre-digital days! I once used an entire roll of 35 mm film to get one decent picture of my then two-year old daughter. I can soooo relate!

    I have all of CAlvin’s ’toons ’ – and this series is one of my favorites… and is quite true. There is always a kid or two in a group that does this.
