Calvin has to get mad props for the single mindedness it would have too to do this. And for such a small payoff, scaring dad or mom. Easier for a cartoonist to draw than even consider doing as a kid…
I still argue that the original guy peaking over the wall (between 2 bathroom stall) is Shmoe. He was captioned “Shmoe (various spelling) is watching you”, and kept more than a few of us constipated during the early ’40’s.

The work Calvin had to do to make that hill is to admire. I can’t imagine what would he produce if he had the same level of motivation for helping his parents.
@afficionado My boxes say that doc was 7 hours ago and you were 6 hours ago. If your finger was poised over the K key for that long before you could push it you are probably ancient..“giggle”
Freshly Squeezed is a sort of re-do of Stein’s “Denver Square” which ran in the Rocky Mountain News for several years (where he was also their #1 editorial cartoonist). He’s kept the characters but changed their situations slightly. Ed Stein (and Drew Litton and Mike Keefe) was my introduction into good cartooning.

I know he’s just a fictional character but he always seems so lifelike that I can’t help but be a little jealous.
