Calvin is the adopted son of Blythe.
History[edit]
After Grampa and Blythe started dating, Grampa became a father figure to Calvin. Grampa treated him better than he treated Homer, taking an interest in Calvin's unusual hobbies. One of Calvin's hobbies was taxidermy, which Homer found strange. When Homer had an allergic reaction to a wood polish that Marge used around the house, Homer ended up staying in Calvin's room until the polish dissipated. During his stay, Homer developed a rivalry with Calvin because Grampa treated Calvin better than he treated Homer. This led to a fight between the two of them, and a prank war broke out. During this time, Homer was also made to take Calvin to his taxidermy classes.
When Homer mock-imitated Calvin in the mirror, Grampa mistook Homer for Calvin because the eye drops he was using made him partially blind. Homer then realized how much Grampa truly cared about Calvin and became depressed, as his father never treated him that way. When Calvin realized that this was why Homer was reacting the way he was, Calvin softened toward Homer and told him that Grampa must love him too. Homer then dressed Calvin up as him to show Calvin how Grampa reacted toward him. After Grampa got mad at Calvin, thinking he was Homer, for no reason, Calvin understood. He then asked Homer whether he had told Grampa how Grampa made him feel, and suggested that Homer try a way other than shoving him into an awful retirement home.
Homer took Calvin's advice to heart and made an exhibit for the taxidermy convention out of shells with googly eyes glued to them. Grampa was initially mad at Homer, but softened when he was told to really look at what Homer had made.
Later, Blythe broke up with Grampa and found a new man, who took Calvin to Africa to study animals.
