Calvin's dad was quite a character, wasn't he?

My role model as a parent. I had the why are old pictures in black and white conversation with my kids almost word for word. It wasn’t until they were in fourth grade that they learned that the world didn’t used to be black and white.

I think they still believe what I told them about how they determine weight limits for bridges though.

We just finished rebuilding the bridge in the center of Mr. Watterson’s hometown, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to reference that one!

You should show then the linear velocity vs angular velocity thing, to keep them awake until 3am

I hope this is a joke. Calvin's dad lying to him wasn't supposed to be idealized.

As a child I identified with Calvin. Now as a 50+ year old I find I identify much more with the dad.
