    When my Mom said that, she also said ‘Stay where I can see you.’ Kinda hard to stay within the eye view when there was one small window over the sink.

    Well, at least it doesn’t say, “Go play in traffic!” Yet.

    “But soon Calvin’s patience is rewarded.” Those are words we rarely read!

    Wait, wait, wait!

    5th panel: “soon Calvin’s patience is rewarded”.

    So he knows patience is a virtue, he just disregards it.

    Slowly but surely, Dad’s character building is setting in.

    Well, how you’d expect him to react to you throwing a paper airplane into his ear?

    It would be doubly so today with so many kids stuck to their gaming systems, phones, and tablets.

    We put straight pins in the nose of our paper airplanes so they stick when they hit something. When our Mom saw us tossing them around she pitched the mother of all hissy fits

    It looked like Calvin’s dad was working. I mean, who wears a long sleeved, button down shirt on a Sunday? Getting poked in the ear with paper airplane can be a bit startling, but he should have shown Calvin how too create paper airplanes other than the most rudimentary paper airplane Calvin made, and then gone outside with Calvin to enjoy a paper airplane flying frenzy! If Calvin’s dad was working, I think it’s dad who needs to spend more time outdoors :0)

    And yet,many of Calvin’s greatest adventures are outside. Just him, his best friend Hobbs, and his imagination.

    He could try to get Susie’s attention, but she’ll just invite him in for tea.

    That’s a drawing pen, well-favored by cartoonists. It’s the closest we see in the strip to a cameo by Watterson.

    I don’t get why people even have children when they never even want to spend time with them or interact with them.

    He shouldn’t need a recording; he should WANT to go play outside!

    I know what that’s sometimes like. Sometimes I feel like my parents just need a recording that says “Okay” in place of me.

    But the recorder will not classify activites which build character.
