How old is this kid supposed to be? He seems around 6 to 8. I think 7.00 / 8.00 is pretty normal for a kid that age. 6.30 seems a bit early tbh. So he’s got a point!
Rosalyn, their usual babysitter, puts them to bed early for misbehaving. Hobbes is implying that they managed to not piss her off as quickly this time
In this story arc, Calvin stole her class notes and was trying to hold them hostage. Instead of meeting his demands, she waited quietly as a strategy. She was extremely angry.
Hobbes simply pointed out that, due to their hostage situation, they were able to stay up 30 minutes past when Rosalyn makes them go to bed.
Edit: in the arc, they literally hid behind a locked door until 7pm. They didn’t “act better,” hobbes is just pointing out they technically succeeded in staying up later
Yes, in February 7th’s strip Hobbes says she usually comes in and sends them to bed right away at 6:30. So with their notes-hostage shenanigans they managed to extend it to 7:00 this time.
Calvin is six.
My 3yo has had a 7:30 bedtime for a year.
Today Calvin learns the toilet door can be opened from the outside.
Any door can be opened from the outside if you axe it nicely.

No, Calvin opened the door himself.
