Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.
Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly cited as "the last great newspaper comic",[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes

My dad was like this a lot when I was a kid. Generally, I appreciate it. But one time he kept pressing on fishing and I was not interested in killing animals or waking up at 5AM. I decided to give it a shot due to mild intrigue, and pushed myself to waste hours and hours driving in the dark, camping, getting all the fishing supplies ready, etc.
We finally get there, covered in bug bites, and we meet his friend that we came all that way to see. His family had been there an hour and each bought a bucket of fish, they were still biting like crazy. They were heading out, so my dad said “We’ll join you!” and we left to go chat with them for six hours instead of fishing.
He didn’t understand why I said no every time after that.
Do I even understand this correctly? You both spent hours getting to the fishing spot with fishing gear and then your dad just went "yeah, nah"?
Pretty much. I learned after the fact that he just wanted to hang out with his friend, and he didn’t care about fishing that day at all.
