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 dunno. I reckon if Rosalyn engaged in his world (and maybe they made a snow man massacre or something), they'd probably have a great time...
The problem is, due to the ADHD, one of them is masking their behaviour considerably in any 'positive interaction'. That's why there aren't any -they're both too 'sincere' (not the best use of the word, but I hope you get the idea )
if Rosalyn engaged in his world
Yes! Exactly like that! It worked out great in the end but was a rocky start with the bargaining and masking (about the nonsensical nature) but she got into it in the end!
Looks tiring, though - but one of the more rewarding strips I've seen. He's got a great way of portraying things!
Yeah, but a lot of times she was on the phone to her boyfriend, or doing homework.
I don't think there are hard rules about babysitting. When I pay someone to come out and spend time with our cats when we're in vacation, I expect them to be engaging with the cats and not just sitting in the house in their phone. Maybe with babysitting, parents only expect the sitter to provide adult supervision, not play with their kids.
IIRC, half the time Rosalyn tried to engage; the other half she was doing her own thing. Sounds pretty realistic for the average teenager.
Rosalyn offering to make popcorn with Calvin is a nice gesture. I imagine she's really pleasant when she's not taking care of the worst 6 year old in the world.
I always imagined she was quite a nice babysitter for children that liked watching movies and having some treats. So most normal children! Hell, bet she'd bring her own boardgames if she learned you liked those!
The Ros strips were always some of my favorite. You never stop identifying with Calvin, but you also kinda cheered for her, and when she won (like in Calvinball) you celebrated with her too.
