I think I found Calvin’s dad in some other Watterson Art, and now we know how his dad was when he was younger. Hope everybody hasn’t seen this already:
Or was this the dressing rehearsal (pun intended) from when Calvin´s clothes attacked him, and dressed him against his will with polka dots and stripes, and backwards hat?
Calvin, it’s very dangerous to openly express your feelings. Better you keep them to yourself and strike from the shadows when no one expects it. They can’t strike back when you’ve already taken them out.

Thanks for the link! I enjoyed seeing his early work and his self-portraits were great. I’m going to read more offered on the site when I get a chance later.
Ya know, I understand that Watterson meant for the reality here to be ambiguous, but if I was treating Hobbes as an element of Calvin’s imagination I’d think it’s gotta suck when your imaginary friend can get in better zings than you can.

Yes, Calvin, Hobbes just dissed (and owned) you. Interesting that it took a minute for that fact to register with you!

Where is Calvin´s mom on this one?
Red hat, blue jacket and green mittens?

Calvin can’t win, especially with the Chinese New Year having started…it’s ‘The Year of the Tiger’ :-)

I’m glad someone else noticed that this strip is currently running on the Chinese calendar–the new year being the “Year of the Tiger”.
