    Holy shit.

    I was unfamiliar with Astro Boy as a kid. I totally remember this storyline with him messing with his hair for school picture day, but I never understood who or what Astro Boy was until now.

    He’s literally got the Astro Boy 'Do. Calvin’s parents let him see some cool shit as a kid.

    In other words, Calvin was into anime before it was cool. Peak Xennial right there.

      Well, the previous two comics indicate that his mom was not exactly on board with this.

      Peak Xennial right there.

      Wait, Calvin is gen X or Y? I suppose he stayed six years old from 1985 to 1995, so maybe a bit of both?

        I chose Xennial because he started as Gen X but was still 6 in the 90’s and could have also technically been a millennial and as a xennial myself, the “I was into X before it was cool” was widepsread in my 20’s.
