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

I'm surprised they have a manual car.
It builds character
Manual cars were much more common when this was written. It was not nearly as unusual as it is now. It was cheaper to buy manual too.
Leaving the kids in the car when you went into the store was a thing then, too.
Hell, I remember sleeping the back of the station wagon for a couple hours while my Mom went to her pottery class. Today she'd be put up against a wall for that.
Yep, I hated going into shops, still do and I'm in my 50s.
In 1986?
I thought auto had always been more common in the US.
