I remember years ago when this was live it was a favorite. Doesn’t do much for me anymore. Same with Foxtrot. I guess I’ve changed because the comic strips didn’t. I still have fond memories of Pogo and hope they don’t rerun that.
Today, he would have an AI chatbot make the chart with several far more convincing arguments involving biorhythms, tax deferrals and long-deprecated psychological studies. :)
Just like voters in the USA, you have to consider the alternatives. In Calvin’s household, the choice for the office of Dad is between the lesser of one evils.

As a data analyst, this cartoon appeals to me.
Not all data are of equal importance.
I recall the charts Robert Strange McNamara used to show during the Vietnam War: “When the bomb tonnage line intersects with the body count line …”

There is an easy way to teach the lesson of proper bed times. Let him stay up until midnight, then get him up a 6am. You’ll only have to do it once.
