Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 31, 2022

Take some bacon, also.

Just another science project…..

Even if it WAS fried, I doubt it’d be edible.

“How hot is it?!”

as if your parents would mind an omelette on the car dash, Calvin

Just make sure the car doesn’t fall into a ravine.

Methinks an auto dash egg may soon become part of a proper English breakfast.

Ah, yes – the scientific method. Our young hero will learn a lot from this experiment. Sometimes learning is painful.

Iterative failure

Hopefully, Calvin the egg won’t run down the defrost vent. There’s nothing like the smell of a rotting egg.

In my car today, the dash read 132F. Funny place to put a temp gauge—right on the dash against the window. Now granted, it was 99F outside and the car was sitting, so perhaps it really was.

Surprising that Mom didn’t make Calvin EAT that egg on the sidewalk.

That’s what happened on a very funny comic in MAD Magazine.

Snack for Dad on the way to office?

The dashboard won’t be as hot as Calvin’s pants when Dad find out!

Not as hot as Dad’s temper, on his finding egg in his car, or as Mom’s, on her finding that the eggs she’d been saving, to make whatevers, had been used to decorate sidewalks.

It takes 40 C / 104 F to cook an egg (or any other animal product), so there have been plenty of days this summer when that’s been possible.

Calvin and Hobbes make a dash to the car dash.

Don’t leave crayons in the back window of the car.

If he were only this dedicated in real school…

Not likely today with eggs $4 a dozen.

Not only will it be hot on the car dash, temperatures will go through the roof when Dad finds the mess….

Calvin reminds us why you should consider thoughtfully whether you really want kids and also how great it was to be kids.

It’s been so hot this year people are too uncomfortable to try that test.

In ‘World At War’ they said in he western desert you could fry an egg on the mud guard of a tank, but it was done more for PR jokes than anything serious.

Parents often never seem to comprehend the value of a good science experiment.

That is why cars should be locked at all times.

Finding out what ‘too far’ is can be valuable information.

There is an endless variety of things you can do with a dozen eggs.

Science, advancing via the heuristic method. Gotta love it. Everybody except Mom and Dad, that is. ;-)

Calvin, you got some eggsplaining to do…

That’s another fine mess he’s gotten them into…

LOL… can’t wait until Dad sees the scrambled eggs on his car dashboard.

First they need lab coats.

Then, with lots of twisting, er, I mean adjusting, of the data, NOAA can use it to prove Global Warming.

The car dash will be cooler than Calvin’s dad and Calvin’s rear end will be…

I always get a valuable lesson out of seeing that hot weather stunt for the hundredth time , don’t walk barefoot on cement and seek another weather station.

It may work using a cast iron pan on the sidewalk.

I’ve looked into it. Apparently concrete and asphalt will never absorb enough heat to cook an egg. The hood of a car might.

Makes me wonder why so many car dashes are the ubiquitous black? Man do they get hot!

Calvin really needs to learn to think before he thinks.

On a hot July day a local radio DJ was trying to do that in the parking lot. The egg did fry but it took longer than in a skillet.

Need another egg, Calvin?

This little brat should NEVER be un-supervised!!!

I forget the number, but it does get hot enough to fry an egg on a sidewalk.

Hard to believe that the Noodle Incident is worse than this.

His behind may get hot enough to fry that egg.

Father will find a fried egg on the bonnet of his car the next morning and scream as usual. Calvin, you can ignore him as usual.
