I love the way Calvin’s dad makes up things to tell him.

I remember once when my son was small and we were travling in the countryside I told him that those giant rolls of hay were cow eggs.

My dad told me they were Shredded Wheat and were being sent to the cereal factory.

Your comment about Calvin's dad's science explanations reminded me of the very first (I think) time Bart and Homer Simpson appeared was in a cartoon short on the Tracey Ullman Show. Bart was just put to bed and asked Homer as he was leaving the room what the difference was between Mind and Matter. Homer chuckled and said something like "Oh Son. That's easy. Never mind. It doesn't matter." Bart's eyes, lit up in the darkened room, did a conniption, and then the lights went out on a very confused kid. I thought that was one of the cleverest jokes I ever heard on a TV show.

I love the one where his dad convinces him that everything before 1939 was black and white.

I quit reading the comics when C&H ceased publishing. I have the books of his cartoons.
