Line 120:
* ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]'': Calvin's dad does this sometimes when Calvin asks him questions, but he's doing it on purpose. Like claiming the wind was caused by trees sneezing. Watterson's commentary says that he assumes it must be a great temptation for real parents not to abuse their power for pranks.
** Then there's Calvin himself. Bats are not bugs, by the way.
** Despite the picture above, Hobbes is not usually an example: [[Everybody Hates Math|math just isn't his strong suit]]. Why Calvin keeps asking him for help after all the bad grades he must get is something of a mystery. [[Fridge Brilliance|Possibly because he's in Calvin's head, and no smarter than Calvin at his best.]] [[Word of God]] states that one reality is Calvin's immature point of view, while the second is an adult point of view, and [[Shrug of God|the reader can decide which is true]].
** Not just math, though. In one strip he told Calvin that a pronoun was "a noun that lost its amateur status"; even Calvin didn't buy that one, telling him, "Maybe I can get a point for creativity."
