Transcript:
Calvin: Mom, can I have some money so Hobbes and I can go to a movie? Mom: What movie? Calvin: "The cuisinart murder of central high." Mom: I really think there are more comstructive ways you could spend your afternoon, Calvin. Hobbes: What did she say? Calvin: Oh, she went off on one of her irrelevant tangents again.

I think I did too-except for me it was called “Heathers”, with Winona Ryder and Christian Slater.

Yes, that Mom–always using incomprehensible logic, irrelevant associations (what could be more constructive than a movie aimed squarely at teenage boys with sex and violence?), and never letting Calvin have any fun.
I’ve also noticed that this is one strip that never shows Mom or Dad watching TV (not that I recall), but often has them reading, as today.

I thought it was made up for the sake of the strip’s joke.

I’ve often said that if I’d had a son instead of a daughter, I’d want him to be Calvin.
