Calvin didn’t get clean all over. His face doesn’t look flushed.Note that on Tuesday the toilet seat and lid were black, but today they are white. Bill Watterson made them black on Tuesday so that the white toilet paper would show up. But today they are white, because Calvin would look strange in front of a black lid. In frame 3 today, some of the hairs on Calvin’s head would be invisible if the background were black.
I like this strip. Another strip that I really like is “Freshly Squeezed” … I suggest you add it to your “Comic Page” and read it for a few days … I think you will want to keep it there. It is very well drawn and written.
My wife tells an apocryphal story where she and her twin sister when they were very young were combing their grandfather’s hair with a wet comb. Until he asked where they were getting the water, which was from the toilet bowl, since that was the only source they could reach.

Dad should have flushed the toilet after he was done with it. (Before Calvin “used” it)

I did that one time as a tyke after my bath. We had a maid and she got really mad at me and gave me a second bath.

This has just replaced the dog drinking out of the toilet as the greatest lavatory laugh.

Adds new meaning to the expression, “Don’t flush the baby down the drain with the commode water.”

Am I the only one who noticed the shape of the toilet bowl? It looks (appropriately, I guess) like a pair of buttocks, and the base like legs…
