One of my favorites. And doesn't even need to use words for a punchline

calvin's dad was hopeful for a moment.

Seemed to take a really long time to make the connection, though

Must be one of very few (even the only?) C&H strips featuring only the Dad.

There's one of his Dad lying awake in bed after their house was burglarized. Might show part of Mom as well.

Also the one where he was shopping at the supermarket (complaining about the number of options) and the one where he was looking for Hobbes in the woods in the "Yukon Ho!" storyline.
