Its really fuckin funny to me that dad is a 100% serious normal man except for just constantly bullshitting every single answer to anything hes ever asked
Just like completely fabricating an alternate nonsense reality for his like 8 year old child
He’s a patent clerk, which is alluded to in a couple of comics. Watterson thought it would be funnier when the joke is specific, and gave him the same job as his own father. Write what you know.

On another hand, I suppose that when Calvin finds out the truth, this teaches him how to critically think, hah.
It builds character…
Made funnier by the comic showing that he’s a patent lawyer.
Makes me wonder if his job was in sales or politics

Patent lawyer, and also an avid cyclist.
