      Yes, but remember the comics are rarely from the perspective of the parents and the few times it is from their perspective you see how dope his parents actually are.

      He did yell at him from the comfort of the doorway.
      I used to think these strips were pointing at Calvin as a teenager but being older, I appreciate your interpretation more.

      I feel like it makes even more sense if you consider that Calvin is an 80’s kid which means his parents were raised in the 50s or 60s. Also based on what we’ve seen of Calvin’s Dad, he probably thinks he’s giving Calvin an important lesson/life experience that’ll be good for him
