Maybe, the future Mrs. Calvin will succeed where the parents haven’t.-As many know, Bill Watterson’s father is a patent attorney.

Calvin’s dad is my favorite dad of all time. I must admit that I patterned some of my answers to my children after his. On the up side, my children have great senses of humor. It didn’t take long before they came back with some very Calvinesque replies.

Calvin’s robot reminds me of the soup I made when I was VERY young (pre-first grade). One afternoon I told my mother I wanted to make soup and she asked me what I needed. So I asked for the big bowl I’d seen her make stuffing in, filled with water, and a bunch of spices. I diligently stirred the spices into the water but like Calvin, I couldn’t figure out how to make it soup.
