Watterson's art is fantastic. I love how the second panel goes haywire just like Dad's emotions, with his arms going over the text and into the neighbouring panels.
third panel dad is the panel. it's more subtle, but i think it's more impressive at conveying the tone
Huh
look at his hands
Obviously AI slop, count the fingers.
Tap for spoiler
/s, because somebody will think I'm fucking serious otherwise
Do they be in
well now i don't understand
Damn this one made me feel things as a kid and now that I’m a dad it makes me feel them even more
One of the hardest of his strips I can think of. Very impressive too.
Watterson was a genius and conveying emotion
This is genius on so many levels
This might be my favorite ever C&H strip
When as a kid, you fuck up but know you fucked up and feel bad about it instead of being oblivious or non caring about it yet your parents don't know because evrry other time you were still oblivious/uncarring and still yell at you trying to get you to understand erroniously.

About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time.

Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.
