How true. Perhaps even if you add the oft used naughty addendum of “in bed.”
Under the sheets.
Now, now you two … don’t make me send you over to the corner to think about what you’ve said.
I seem to remember one Calvin strip running on a similar theme to the above ones that ended with a dour-faced Calvin in the tub concluding “The paper should really be printing mom’s predictions, because those sure come true!”
Yes, that was a few days later, after he got a horoscope predicting romance.
Ah yes … that was quite the long astrology sequence; and I finally saw the one I was remembering in there too!

Three world systems compared in the emblematic frontispiece of Giovanni Battista Riccioli’s Almagestum novum (Bologna, 1651). Astraea, goddess of justice, weighs the systems of Copernicus and Riccioli (a slight modification of Tycho’s) while Ptolemy reclines alongside his now-discarded system.
