Principal Spittle is the principal at Calvin's School.
Role
His office is located at the end of the main hallway, just a few steps down from Calvin's locker. He's had a low profile in the strip's run.
Principal Spittle is seen as a middle-aged man who always wears a suit, has balding hair, and wears glasses. He may not fully enjoy his job as hinted in one strip where Calvin and Susie both yelled, "PLEASE DON'T PADDLE US!" while a thought bubble showed him thinking " I hate this job". Moreover, his expression is one of constant boredom in the face of Calvin's antics as Miss Wormwood often sends him to the principal's office.
Trivia
- Calvin imagined Principal Spittle as a Zorg in a Spaceman Spiff fantasy.
- Principal Spittle debuted in the same strip as Spaceman Spiff .
- Susie believes the hall to the principal's office was made very big on purpose.
