    Which truth I hope Calvin learns. The obvious implication is that he thinks her what he just portrayed himself as being.

    Calvin is going to fall prey to The Mother’s Curse: “When you grow up, I hope you have a child just like you!”

    Hey parentals here’s a flip for you; After we’re 18 we don’t have to talk to you or visit. Might want to reconsider that work load and additude.

    Calvin’s head looks the same, with or without the crown.

    Don’t you believe it for a second Calvin!!! Parenthood looked really easy from the other side to me as well. Now I have three little darlin’s of my own and I understand why my parents were so crabby :)

    I agree with Calvin; his “mad designs” should be executed!

    I’m sure it is, Calvin.

    It must be nice having all of those bills to pay and dealing with stroppy kids.

    It can’t come too soon. For most parents, it our dream to get you out, just get you out of the house before we die.

     

    LOL!!!!!!!!!! Good one!!!!!

    Btw, I thought this strip was hilarious because I see him as inspired to pretend to be a petty tyrant with lunatic whims by his mom telling him to gather the trash just before (caring only for the “brute labor” Calvin can be made to do, like gather the trash). So immature, and so funny! :-D

    Wouldn’t it be nice if all you had too do to be in charge was to put on a paper crown? “sigh”
