## Resource

The most important relationship in Calvin and Hobbes is obviously the relationship between... well... Calvin and Hobbes. But the relationship between Calvin and his dad is arguably the second-most important. In this episode we look at all our favorite Dad-isms: building character, riding his bike, feeding Calvin absolute nonsense about how the world works, and so much more! Here is a list of the comics mentioned this episode, along with their publication dates and the books where they can be found. We would love to hear from you!
