This is even funnier if you imagine this in modern US.
How did Calvin get home without someone driving him there?
In the modern US, his mom would be arrested for letting him play outside on his own.
Not just in the US. here in France too it's hard to imagine anything like that happening nowadays. Which is kinda sad.
Back then, my mom would let me come and go to school all by myself, aged 7. I would ride my bike (and, yeah, I had a few accidents, none involving a car). Soon after that, I was also free to go wherever the funk I fancied, just had a curfew. Aged 10, I was already spending a lot of time roaming the streets of the city alone, carrying only my camera (I hobby I had recently started and instantly fell in love... I still do it today, I just switched the camera for a sketchbook). I was meeting complete strangers, following them to places where no little boy was supposed to be. I did my first concert as a photographer aged 13... I also completely screwed almost all the shots, lacking any experience working under such complex lighting conditions but that's another story that, 40+ years later, I still remember as vividly as I recall the shame/humiliation I felt when I had to explain the band why I had this few pictures to give them, despite them being more than cool with stupid-me :p
That was back in 70s, early 80s.
Oh shit. Did Calvin also have autism? Cause that's some fucking joke I'd make
Not sure if he went home to use the restroom, or just went home to leave school. Lol
Can I use this at work?
Well, probably. YMMV with the results.
Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!
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. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.
