Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 03, 2014

Don’t tip her.

Revenge of the Mommy

Calvin, you just talk dang near too much! (Perhaps a “please” in that word salad of yours just might have given you what you want!).

Forget Suzie, Calvin. The right girl for you is Sally Albright.

Mothers have their own rules!

good mom good cooking for you Calvin..

Actually, I sympathise. :) I definitely remember having very specific ideas about how I wanted my bread. But Calvin, you know the saying. If you want something done right…

Kid, the best place to get a helping hand is at the end of your arm!

Mom, pack him a bento lunch next time. We’ll see how he feels about plain rice with seaweed and a pickled plum in the middle!

@Calvin

Forget it Calvin, You CAN’T trust your Mom anymore.

Oh, Calvin! You’re just as precious today as you’ve always been!

If you want things done right, Calvin, do them yourself.

I spread margarine on the bread first and then the jelly on top of it. This keeps the jelly from soaking into the bread.

Why does Calvin sit with Susy everyday when he is the president of GROSS?

And just how many heels do you think are on each loaf, Calvin? I take it you eat toast far more often than you eat sandwiches.

Considering that there are only 2 end pieces per loaf of bread, Calvin can forget about it.

Good ole Mom

Brat!.If I made these demands of my mother when I was Calvin’s age, I would be lucky to get a bag lunch of bread crumbs…

And yet I know people who act just this way.

Toast the bread first and the jelly won’t soak in.

Mom needs to leave the bread out overnight to dry it. Then the jam won’t soak through.

For once I don’t think he’s being unreasonable. He’s entitled to his preferences just like everybody else!

Exactly what I was going to say! That solution was introduced to me in the Adam comic strip years ago. And it does work!

There are a remote few of us who aren’t allergic to nuts. Heck, who can even have SANDWICHES anymore what with all the celiac (sp?) disease and gluten allergies?

Mom didn’t get it. Guess she needs more sandwich making lessons from Calvin.

What’s the point of making food if the person you’re making it for can’t/won’t eat it?

On a broader point . . . Calvin’s parents need to take Parenting Lessons.

Somehow I would have thought that given other things Calvin is into, that it would take more than a jelly-soaked sandwich to gross him out.

Clearly she thought, “tough”.

I would have packed his lunch with liver!

But Cal, old bean. You’re into gross big time!

That actually sounds pretty disgusting.

My advice to Calvin is to not pretend that the jelly is blood because then it’ll seem so real.

Tah Tah Tah is clearly using GoComics to help learn English. (S)he is entitled to any assistance we can give.

if Calvin wants all end pieces, he should have his PB&J on hamburger buns

If you were to happen to get that soaked through jelly all over your shirt, I bet Mom might listen a little better next time.

@Tah Tah Tah Doggone is euphemism for Damn.

Meanwhile Suzie is happily chipping away at her lunch. :)

sigh their just reruning now
