      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 )

          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!

    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.
