Good thing Calvin isn’t in the UK at the moment as just about all meat is turning out to be horsemeat. Though I notice that nobody was complaining before they found out what they were eating but it would ave given Calvin something to go ballistic about.
Try not to gross out your description. Play it up. Make it sound like its the best. Play your cards right and you might hit the jackpot. Future salesman indeed.
Looks like Susie is about to lose her sandwich in panel 3; that would put a smile on Calvin’s face and give him a great story to tell Hobbes when he gets home.
I didn’t expect much from a fellow who’s name here might be construed as dada—that is, anti-art, the rejection of logic, reason, and saying anything sensible.
I adore roast beef san’s with onions and thousand island dressing and coleslaw and cheese. Also Reubens with very sharp toasted Rye bread. Here in SLC I don’t think that there is anyplace that makes sandwiches like this ….bleah, yuk, ptooey…
All this talk of PB&J, tuna fish and BLT sandwiches (all my favorites) REALLY has me craving at least one of them right now. Darn it! Why does it have to be meatloaf and mashed potato night instead?!? Ah, well. Better luck next time, I guess!
I like to just take all the components of the sandwich, and build it right before eating it. When you put the ink brine on in the morning, it always soaks the bread up before noon. The squid seems to taste fresher too, when it hasn’t been between two sliced of bread all morning.

which ’s the best sandwich…?

Oh sure, just a little too much inky brine and it’s a bad sandwich.

How can there be something fishy with Calvin’s sandwich because I smell a rat.

Nice job making Susie nauseous, Calvin.

Calvin does not make a good sales pitch for that sandwich,I think he just wants to gross out Susie.

When my husband was a kid, his Dad would make his lunch once in a while. Therefore, the oatmeal sandwich.

On the bright side, Calvin, you got to gross Susie out.

Nothing wrong with the sandwich kid. It’s all in your warped imagination.

a classic look on Susie’s face.

She probably used sweet and sour pickles. Everyone one knows that you always use Dill pickles in a squid sandwich.

Should have gone with more of a Tom Sawyer approach. Too late to whitewash it now.

Should have put ketchup on it Calvin.

Throw a few great big gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts on there, Calvin.

I think Calvin prefers the slug sandwiches, or possibly the bug butter.

It’s more likely that Calvin waits for Susie to sit down so he can go sit next to her. The better to gross her out.

Could be worse. In Sweden they eat rotted fish. Oh, and Iceland eats rotted shark. (Also, love Susie’s disgusted look!)

It’s probably just peanut butter and jelly; Calvin just gets a neurotic thrill of grossing out Susie!

Surprised he didn’t say flatened eyeballs ’n snot.The object is to gross out anyone near him.

I’ll take the meatloaf & mashed potatoes. I’d take just about anything over PB&J or tuna. In fact, I love salmon sammies.

Peanut butter with strawberry jam. On whole wheat.

Oh, I’m so late here but that third panel is one of the funniest expressions Watterson ever drew on Susie.

Not after you loudly advertise how bad she is at making them.
