The Superintendent

The Superintendent is a recurring character on The Calvin and Hobbes Show. He is the Superintendent of Calvin's School District. He is voiced by Dennis Quaid.

Personality
The Superintendent is a firm believer of everyone getting a good education, and nothing stops him from trying to make improvments to make his district better. He is shown to to run the district with an iron fist, as he wants to make sure everything is right at all times, and is shown to not show any relunctance when attempting to expel someone (usually Calvin) though does lay back occasionaly. He is shown to be easily angered when things aren't exactly the way he wants them to, and/or when Calvin or someone else is up to crazy antics. A running gag is that he'll burst into any room without warning and yelling, "SPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" even if Principal Spittle isn't in the room.
