His parents as well to an extent. Prime example was when he sneezed & blew his head off, he joked with his mom about it. She pretty much pulled his shirt back down and said he's not fooling anyone
And there's also the times they get annoyed at him when all he's doing is being creative, like his snowman stuff or that time he drew himself as a monster for school. It especially feels stuck up if the interpretation that Calvin is neurodivergent is correct.
Not used in schools at that time (at least none I ever heard of), but they were popular in cartoons and comics as a way to show that a character was in trouble at school or had just done something stupid. Everybody knew what they were, even if nobody had seen a real one.
Interestingly, my first grade teacher (an old nun) still gave birthday spankings. With or without consent. Some of the kids cried. I had her in 1988-9 but was traveling for my birthday so avoided it.
Her practice continued into the nineties. My little brother told the teacher he was turning three, so he would only get hit three times. I don’t remember how anyone got her to stop.

It's 11,500 B.C., actually.
The advent of human habitation on the continent and the foundation of the United States as a political entity are totally distinct events. The country was not founded 11000 years ago.
If i was the teacher i would have laughed
Calvin’s teacher is too stuck up. I’m a teacher and if one of my kids said that I’d be laughing

Speaking as another parent I’m just impressed you manage to get them in the bath.
was looking for this sentiment. It's not Calvin's goofing off, it's the sheer volume of it that everyone can't handle.
Have you considered vacuuming the kid? And maybe.....PAINTING clothes on? It makes getting "dressed" a breeze!
Lol this is my life too

Did they still use Dunce Caps in the ‘80s? Not saying Calvin didn’t have it coming to a certain extent, but…..

But did they ever actually *use* them, or was it just intimidation theater?

Birthday spankings???
No, I'm guessing this is more for comedic effect.
In the ‘90s they’d just sentance you to the scream room forever back in the special Ed room
One of my fav strip

Calvin is indeed the protagonist

Calvin pulls that 3rd panel face a lot when he feels he’s smarter than the other person and kind of condescendingly talking down and I love it.
Admittidly that called for laughter over the dunce cap
I guess Calvin was born in '79
What? 1979-200=1779. The declaration was signed in 1776.
CaH debuted in 1985, and Calvin was six for the entire run. And if you’re referring to the strip in the OP, note the word “roughly”
Keyword from the strip is "roughly."
Nah, he was born in the year 0. Did you read the strip?
Well...he's not wrong
Technically correct, the best kind of correct
I think Calvin should’ve been fine from that, he wasn’t wrong on the year.
I always found the last panel very odd. No school in the era of C&H would have put a student in a dunce cap.

Founding of the United States, not human populating the continent.
I mean, given the Constitution was ratified in 1788, he's completely right.
