Comic strips are a fairly unique medium, and Calvin and Hobbes has always taken advantage of everything it offers. The mix of visual and written components helps to create a compelling storyline, and the limited space means that writers can only fit in one or two jokes. While Sundays typically offer more than just the general four-panel structure, the typical comic is short, sweet, and fairly wordy.
Some strips, however, tweak the dynamic. Instead of featuring characters speaking and arguing or cracking jokes, some individual strips occasionally abandon dialogue altogether. Some of those wordless Calvin and Hobbes strips tell a story of their own in a unique way.
Calvin’s dad could be questioning whether or not he should add another wheel to his own bike to prevent potential crashes, imagining using Calvin’s tricycle, or simply wondering what he is setting Calvin up for. It’s a great strip, and the lack of words helps to make the meaning ambiguous in a fascinating way.
