Ah the Uncle Max saga. I liked the attempt to flesh out the family tree and Calvin’s parents having another adult to converse with, but as far as characterization goes Max felt pretty flat. I can see why Watterson didn’t bring him back
He would have brought him back, but he was in prison.
He said he didn’t bring him back specifically because he discovered the strip wasn’t made for Calvin’s parents to have outside relationships.
I don’t doubt my brother would say the same about me. Some time ago my grandma let it slip that when I first moved out of my parents’ house, my uncle said I would surely be lost to drugs then. I’ve never even smoked weed, barely ever drank alcohol to start with. I’m still the black sheep.
If you’re wondering why, it’s the 'tism.
