Yesterday, Susan1000 reminded us that Red had said that he’d be “dragged kicking and screaming to the school bus” and said that she saw the school bus but no kicking or screaming. I replied that Red sometimes sounds as rebellious as Calvin but doesn’t actually act as rebellious. I have just seen that Susan1000 replied “I’m afraid you misunderstood. It was RED who said he’d be dragged kicking and screaming to the school bus.” I didn’t misunderstand. My point was that Calvin sounds rebellious and usually puts his words into actions whereas Red often sounds more of a rebel than he really is.
I’m glad that you enjoy this strip almost as much as Calvin and Hobbes, Susan. As I’ve said before, you will probably come to dislike Red’s bullying older brother Martin more than you dislike Red’s Dad.
