I wonder if this is the first time Calvin realized dad is full of shit, like, all the time..
I don’t really recall another one where he calls him out, it’s usually mom that does it.
Anyone know?

Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.
Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly cited as "the last great newspaper comic",[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes

I wanted to know so badly: I'm learning about fuel injection now. I guess I know more about my weed-wacker now, too (We only use carburetors for small engines, now).
They're super neat! They shoot compressed air into little drops of gas to make the perfect fuel/air mixture to make a tiny explosion!
Here's a video describing the whole process and with lots of slow motion shots of the event happening! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=toVfvRhWbj8
It's kind of fun that the first automotive fuel injectors were just an electronic version of a carburetor: it would just squirt some fuel in by the throttle body instead of the more modern multiport injection further up the manifold or high-pressure piezo injectors directly into the cylinder.
I feel like the air is kinda the opposite of compressed, but I like your comment anyway!
If it’s making explosions your engine has too much compression.
Came here to pont the SmarterEveryDay video; you beat me to it :-)
