This strip was originally published in the newspapers on August 19, 1989.
Mom is on her knees, newspaper on the floor, getting ready to paint the wall. She complains that there are times she hates owning a house because of the maintenance. Painting walls, fixing roofs, spraying trees, it seems like the place is falling apart. She sees Calvin drilling holes in the other wall, and she gives chase. She adds that what isn't falling apart is being actively destroyed.
This strip was also published in the following books:
The Revenge of the Baby-Sat on page 116
