more than any other calvin and hobbes strip this one stays lodged in my consciousness
oof yeah, i get why, but i also feel its a shame no one has mentioned the follow-up strips, cause like.
^ this moment right here. calvin and his dad being like, emotionally mature and talking it through, like. i feel like this interaction formed the blueprint for a lot of how we deal with interpersonal conflict and anxiety n shit. and then finding a compromise, a way to work with a curious but clumsy kid and a dad with expensive toys its like. idk, its good
