Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 12, 2022

Does Calvin’s mother want to subsist on diet of waffles and soup?

unbelievable, ain’t it, Calvin?

I’m pretty sure it doesn’t count if there’s only one six year-old in the household, and he’s the one polling in the first place.

And just what is Calvin trying to get this time???

Mom was way ahead in the polls until a few seconds ago.

heh heh – mom’s glee is just lovely!

This comic shows a radical machismo of the dad?

Calvin, beware of “co-lateral” damage!

After dad’s first day in his new position there will be a recall vote.

Typical politics! Promise you anything, but have a secret agenda.

Pops looks none too happy about any of it!

I remember this strip from when it was first published in 1992. :-}

I smell a coup brewing…

Calvin pays a rather left-handed compliment to Mom’s cooking.

Calvin’s polls are usually amusing, but this one is really funny. At least Mom plans to keep Dad on instead of a new running mate. As Bill Watterson says, you’ve got to have a sense of humor with a kid like Calvin, and the parents really show it here.

Or franks and beans?

How is it that she ended up doing all the cooking anyhow? I never understood how roles in a household are so often automatically split based on gender, though it most happened in my marriage as well. My wife just assumed the jobs were hers and we never even talked about it. I pick up some of the load and everyone thinks I’m a great husband. She still does way more than half the work. I still don’t get it.

lol .. welp, yeah.. been there…

“Never piss off the cook.” Common Sense class 101.

Who certifies these elections?

hmm… a case of “be careful what you wish for” methinks

How come the TIgers of the household were not polled and just the 6-year-olds. I smell a rotten statistic poll! – oh, wait, I’m pretty sure this is how ALL polling is done anymore – js

Mom has rigged this poll alright. I see two candidates in the fray but one six year old as voter. Get ready to live on packaged meals as dad takes over mom.

Slightly amusing. It made me smile.

Mildly funny …. until the last bubble. Hilarious!

He’ll get to eat sloppy joes and top ramen. No more tofu and eggplant. He should be happy.

No different than any other poll. They tell you what people who take polls think, sort of. Polls mean different things depending on how they are worded.

“Mom” has a lot more power than “Dad”. Becoming “Dad” would be a demotion.

RECOUNT! – RECOUNT!

She’s the gazpacho police.

Elections have consequences. In this case bad food.
