I wonder if a bit of extra dessert would help my memory?

I like how mom seems vaguely amused and is staying out of it.

UncleMac

Get in there and help him, Mister!!

sdereski

The attitude isn't improving anytime soon.

UncleMac

Okay, Mister!!

UncleMac

Great. Real great. Not phenomenal.

This morning, I had a delivery scheduled between 11am and 1pm. My yoga class ended at 11:30. Sure enough, they tried to deliver at 11am... knocked & rang doorbell but my son didn't answer the door.

I guess it goes to show that times change but kids don't.

You know you're moving fast when you leave your stripes behind...

Because everyone knows only abject terror can reverse hours of boredom.

It might not be the only way but it's a good one!!

UncleMac

Uh-oh... I recognize this story arc... Get your kleenexes ready...

SueSueDio

I wish mothers really could fix everything... especially these things!

empresssue

Catherine_and_Hobbes

Calvin's mom really is a sweetie, isn't she?

I read this story arc at least once a year and I still bawl like a baby.

Yup... it gets me every time...

UncleMac

Stiff upper lip, folks... We'll get through this...

UncleMac

I don't know if these kind of childhood experiences are common in urban environment as they were for us rural kids. Between forests and farms, there weren't many mysteries to us kids by the time we were playing doctor in the hayloft...

UncleMac

This story arc is so sad yet it shows how Watterson developed his characters to be more than just ink & paper...

Montepulciano

I am preparing the box of Kleenex.

*sidles over ready to grab one*

UncleMac

Hmmm... I wonder why it's Calvin's dad who breaks the news instead of his mom?

Montepulciano

Because Mom is huddling over the box of tissues, that is why.

UncleMac

A camera with film? Those were the days....

UncleMac

I think this is the finale of that story arc. I wonder what inspired Watterson to write/draw this one?

UncleMac

I totally forgot about this one! So which is it: mean or arbitrary?

SueSueDio

It's because Life and Death are in love...

UncleMac

Now this panel I do recall...
