    They might be hoping for better luck the second time around.

    It wouldn’t be easy being Calvin’s younger sibling.

    Funny. I was thinking the same thing as Hobbes in the last panel.

    Well, some years down the line, Calvin faked a younger brother named Meville in a letter to Santa Claus. In another strip, Calvin said to his mother wished to have a younger sibling (with whom his mother thought he’d have a playmate) to pulverize in order to teach who’s boss.

    Does one spend several days in bed at the beginning of a pregnancy?

    And if the new kid was like Calvin, they’d have four little people to keep track of.

    Pray that they all didn’t fool around with a duplicator.

    Don’t be offended, Calvin. Mom and Dad have to think about their security and retirement future. Plus you always were just the prototype.

    I have to wonder what that might have done for this cartoon, Calvin having a sibling. Could have been great.

    The strip could have a darker cast to it today, when so many are going to doctors and Emergency Rooms for one thing. In less fraught times, it was often because we were getting our butts kicked by the flu. Being a guy, I just stayed home and whined.

    My niece told her husband after she had child # 3 that the only way she would ever be pregnant again would be if he drugged her first.

    They have four kids now.

    Hobbes: " Calvin, don’t worry- if they have another kid they MIGHT not return you and just keep the new baby."

    I have to admire the mastery of the setup that Waterson demonstrates. Hobbes turns a simple trip to the doctor into something with a suspicious aspect to wind up Calvin and then lets his trenchant observation serve as the punch line. Artistry with words.

    Oh, now that would have extended this strip for another decade. Hobbs now wants to hand with Calvins little sister… Calvin wants to teach sis how to blow up things… like his former friend Hobbs…
