Does anybody else find themselves becoming Calvin's dad as they acquire kids?

And does anyone else think Calvin's mum is HOT!?

Especially when she's screaming at Calvin? :lol:

The longer I have kids the more I identify with his parents, especially when the other day mine says, "I want to start doing some of the things Calvin does." :what: :ddpan:

My absolute favourite one is one I read in the Dutch translation only, I couldn't find the original one. It goes roughly like this.

"Mom, i got a great idea. I am going to save all my snot so it can be transplanted in the noses of people that cant make their own"

"Calvin, that is disgusting, that is a terrible idea"

"ow..... Mom, I got a jar for you to clean"

This showed up on Digg today: some little-known pre-C&H comics from Watterson.

♥ Calvin and Hobbes. I own I think about 8 or 9 of the books :) The first strip there I don't think is an original, looks like a fan remake.

Which one are you referring to? Not the above one surely. Only Waterson can draw that subtly and amazingly. I had all the books at one point too - a couple have gone astray in recent house moves though.
