Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary is happening between this girl and the doctor, but she can see fairies and angels and has a spider sense about bad things happening and he's setting it off something fierce.

The angels also told her to stay away from water, so she is definitely going to drown in that pool back there. Get Naked Comix.

Her cyst (secretly a budding alien intelligence) is attempting to subtly prevent her from allowing its removal from her body. If it can pupate for another week, it will be strong enough to control her parents' minds, and then it will have nothing stopping it from reaching full maturity. Nothing but Mary Worth, that is!

Way to undermine her epic journey. Nothing better than learning all your efforts were a waste of time and that your "friend" was holding the Grail-comic up their sleeve the whole time. I'd be pretty annoyed. I hope someone finds it before she does and grabs it up.

This was my first thought too. I'm hoping it's just a way for him to buy it for her without having to argue with her about taking his money or whatever.

I always wondered why Watterson didn't just give them names. It seems odd given that Calvin's dad has a very specific job - he's a patent attorney, and that only comes up in one strip so it's not like the names would have to be a recurring thing either. I guess he wanted them to just be "Mom" and "Dad" because the whole strip is basically Calvin's point of view?

Basically, that. The characters in the strip only have aspects as they relate to Calvin.

Yeah, that. Also, Calvin's dad is a patent attorney because Watterson's dad was, I think :3:

Okay, there's 'absentminded professor cliche' and there's 'serious mental degradation.' I'm calling it now, after they save Ambrose's bacon and get him to agree to come back in, it turns out he's too far gone to be much use and they leave him to quietly live out what's left of his life in peace.

Makes sense, I guess. Also I just remembered that Watterson said in the Tenth Anniversary Book that the main reason Uncle Max never appeared again is that he didn't actually bring out anything new in Calvin's character. Every interaction Calvin has with him could be done with one of the other adult characters, so he was extraneous.

Also, speaking of Calvin,
