Calvin’s high sugar diet is one reason why he needs to brush his teeth. On the other hand, no amount of tooth brushing will make much difference to the damage that sugar does to his teeth.
This is me on a Saturday. I know I have chores to do, so I get up, put on my “grubbies” and don’t take my shower until the evening so I am not turned away at the dinner table.
Gave a med tech the snickers. She said, ’It’s raining today.’ I said, ’It’s my fault.’ She said, ‘Why?’ Reply, ‘It isn’t Saturday but I took a bath anyway.’
You would learn the nuisances of hygiene when you start longing for the company of others, rather than parents and that feline. Few more years down the line before the teenage hormones kick in, Calvin. You don’t chase girls with that attitude, I guess.
On “Peanuts Begins,” GC hasn’t run a Sunday strip since the beginning of 2023. But they are not repeating a strip to stay in sync with the calendar. Instead, they are moving out-of-date by one day every 6. As a result, today’s Peanuts Begins is from December 30, 1955.
Stone Soup has been stuck on Oct. 31 all week. Someone said it will be that way until January. They are already reruns, but it would be nice to see different reruns. Maybe it is just the comics that have reruns.
My husband asks me why I make the bed when we are just going to mess it up again. I looked at him like he was nuts. “Who is going to know the bed isn’t made? Not like we have people in it. Just close the door to it sweetie.”

Well Hobbes might not like to snuggle next to you if you smell. Though that might be a good thing if Hobbes is hungry.

Calvin does have a point. But you don’t want to get TOO dirty, and if you don’t brush your teeth it could eventually destroy them.
