It would be funny to see a new strip with Suzie and Calvin as mom and dad with a child who has inherited Hobbes…

I had commented about what the mom said in another strip before this one.

Funnily enough, there’s a fan made strip called “Calvin and Company” about Calvin being grown up and has twins-a son and a daughter-with Susie.
In one strip, Calvin has to yell at his kids, while his mom does stuff, ignoring the chaos around her, until Calvin says that she’s enjoying this, and his mom says, “y’know, Calvin, karma is a funny thing.”

Calvin’s probably a lot worse than his mom ever was.
