Its really fuckin funny to me that dad is a 100% serious normal man except for just constantly bullshitting every single answer to anything hes ever asked

Just like completely fabricating an alternate nonsense reality for his like 8 year old child

    He's a patent clerk, which is alluded to in a couple of comics. Watterson thought it would be funnier when the joke is specific, and gave him the same job as his own father. Write what you know.

    I love the way Calvin pokes a big hole in Dad's story there at the end and suddenly it's "Welp, time for bed"...

    Did Calvin grow up to be a flat earther?

    We stuck the comics with Calvin's dad's bullshit on the kitchen cupboards because my dad did (does?) the exact same thing!
