This one hits so differently as an adult (basically all the ones with the parents really)
I was Calvin as a kid. I’m Calvin’s Dad as an adult.
I don’t know how I feel about that.
Goes to show what a thoughtful great artist Bill Watterson is.
Even when I was a child, I always thought that the place they live looks fantastic. Nice woods next to the house, chill neighborhood, the kid can roam free to play around. As a child I never understood why Calvin was so annoyed by everything while living such a dream
I grew up in the wooded countryside. My backyard looked just like Calvin’s backyard, so I related to Calvin’s childhood a ton.
I just wished I also lived in a neighborhood where I could walk down a sidewalk and have friends to visit, as Calvin visits/runs into Susie all the time. I had to beg my parents to drive me into town if I wanted to hang with friends.
