According to Wikipedia, “middle age” commonly refers to 45-60, although I’ve seen it used for 40-60 too.
I could see Calvin’s dad being in his late thirties, maybe Watterson even had something like ~33 in mind considering average paternal age in the US in 1980 was 27.9 according to this source, and Calvin is known to be 6 y/o.
The dad may look a bit older but I think some of that is due to the fashion style.
Wait, how old is Calvin’s dad supposed to be?

He may also look a bit older because of Calvin?
Or because of his own dad who made him miserable in order to build character
Ah yes, reality is a perceptual construct and Calvin has no respect
Younger than most Lemmy users?
