I love Calvin’s sheepish look in the last panel
I’m surprised they have a manual car.
It builds character
Manual cars were much more common when this was written. It was not nearly as unusual as it is now. It was cheaper to buy manual too.
Leaving the kids in the car when you went into the store was a thing then, too.
Hell, I remember sleeping the back of the station wagon for a couple hours while my Mom went to her pottery class. Today she’d be put up against a wall for that.
Yep, I hated going into shops, still do and I’m in my 50s.
In 1986?
I thought auto had always been more common in the US.
I love how every bit of mischief in the first three panels is immediately described as “Hobbes did this”
So technically Calvin wasn’t wrong at the end, in his mind anyway
