It looks like Comics missed the actual horoscope strip though where Hobbes tells him he’s going to get smooches.

Mom will do anything to send Calvin to school. She probably dreads the weekend.

Mom will thank Calvin in her later years. It’s like having her own personal trainer. Verrrrry shrewd cardio incentive: Parenting!

Use child psychology on Calvin. And forbid him to read those horoscopes. They are all phooey!

You’ll never know until you try it, Calvin! You just might find that you like kisses from girls more than you ever thought was possible!

And after the place has been rented, who gets to stay there, you and your wife, or Calvin?
khpage over 12 years ago
Now that I think about it, this is also Calvin’s clever way of keeping his mom in shape – Dad should appreciate that…

time for some smoochin’ Calvin.Later in life like your dad, you end up smoochin’ the bosses rearend.

I recall John Cleese using that argument about his therapy to deal with anger/parental issues.

Personally, I think the kid’s onto something.

Calvin either grows up to marry Susie or finds a dude named Stevie? Probably the former and not the latter.
Rakkav over 12 years ago
Of course it wouldn’t. That would defy all the laws of Cartoon Physics.

Just tell him the truth… that some lady at the newspaper makes up the horoscopes as a joke. Sheesh!!

I would love for some girl to kiss me.
