Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 15, 1992
Transcript:
Calvin: Here's the latest poll on your standing as "dad." Dad: Wonderful. Calvin: The good news is that you have a high name-recognition factor. All the household six-year-olds polled were able to identify you as "dad." This recognition, however, is linked to the fact that your policies are universally deplored. There's talk about voting you out of office and making mom "dad". Dad: I see. And what do you know about this? Mom: My first act will be to make you do the cooking. Calvin: Whoa! That changes everything!

I’d give that a run for one term. Maybe Mom’ll take them on better vacations, maybe Dad’ll make more tasty dishes. Both will, inarguably, still be the same parents who will leave Calvin with Rosalyn for a night out, and chide him whenever he does something wrong.
