This is from 1987. Mom's decent cup of coffee was probably instant Folgers or Yuban. I'll take the camping percolator over that swill.

Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.
Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995.

Coffee seems like one of the easier things to make while camping given that the only real requirements are boiling water and coffee grounds
Might even be better since you can enjoy it slowly while sitting out in nature instead of chugging it and rushing off to work or errands
Back In the 80s Folgers Crystals was a big thing. It’s not very good compared to the French press camp stove setups that are common now.
I feel fortunate that both of my parents were similarly enthusiastic about camping.
I remember my dad, my sibling and I starting down the trail for a mountain hike and looking back at my mom waving while she sat in the car.
