Boy, does this strip ever bring back memories. I’d totally forgotten about creating waves in the tub because I think I was about 6 myself (like Calvin). I remember thinking it was great sport, but the lurking threat of the wrath of Dad kept me from going overboard. So to speak.
That’s an idea for a water park: provide small tubs so you can do all the things you’re not supposed to do at home. And please don’t recirculate that water.
No more pictures…..aww gee! But we’ll still be getting someone to share their recipes with us when we never asked for them. Now that really is a bit too much. Makes we want to go out and hug a tree…..or hang myself from a tree…..whatever!
Of course, “Spam” was originally a trademark for an indigestible pseudo-food product…..which, come to think of it, certain posters on certain comics (especially on the editorial side of things) would exactly match!

What’s really interesting is that as a rule, Calvin HATES baths!

Once again Calvin is ahead of his time. He just wanted Mom to have a “wet room.”

Dang it. Since GoComics removes HTML now, I can’t post a picture of a seal in a tub and make a joke about it.
(It may be a sea lion, though.)

Mom doesn’t buy it. She knows what happen. Anyway, bummer you can’t post images anymore. There is always somebody ruining things.

What a weird coincidence that today’s strip appears the day after GoComics took much of the fun out of posting.

Calvin is merely engaging in routine scientific inquiry into harmonic oscillations.
