It's class picture day, and Calvin plans to use Crisco to put a swirl in his hair. His mom isn't having it and combs it out, but Hobbes puts it back up into a couple points at the bus stop.
Tropes
- Gag Haircut: For picture day, Calvin puts Crisco in his hair and twists his hair into a swirl. After Mom combs it back, Hobbes reshapes his hair to look like Astro Boy.
- Not So Above It All: Despite her straight-laced personality and penchant for going by the book, Susie privately admits to herself she thinks Calvin's 'Astro Boy' hair style is cool and that she wishes she had some Crisco.
- Picture Day: The plot of this arc centers around picture day at Calvin's school, with Calvin's desire to look cool (by his own definition) contrasting with his mother's desire for him to look nice. Calvin gets his way.
