Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 20, 2013

Run Hobbes, run!

Well at least they’re not chucking them at Susie.

Originally ran many many years before Survivor. The man was a visionary!

As part of Calvin’s imagination, doesn’t Hobbes’ comments invalidate Calvin’s comments?

Actually in different cultures, humans eat slugs and worms. Big deal.

I would prefer a peanut butter and lizard sandwhich. Yummy!!

Fun is a relative term and not all relatives are fun.

Mom gonna love cleaning afterwords…one man’s fun, is another mom’s labor.

Define “fun.”

For sale outside my place this morning: fried crickets and fried “water cockroaches”. And there is more at the market (I live in Cambodia).

This is not a good time to be eating my breakfast …though maybe to lose weight.

Can’t remember the title, but there was a kid’s book out there, called something like “eating fried worms.” Boy in school was challenged to eat worms. He fried some, ate them, and started a fad. Great story.

Nobody loves meNobody caresI think I’ll go into the garden and eat worms.Yesterday I ate two smooth ones and a hairy one.

Something I remember from my youth. Reading – not doing.

In our newspapers they make advertising for grasshoppers, we shall try this!!

Funny, my parents just went slug-picking last night. Drown them in a bag of soapy water. Better than having them eat all the veggies in the garden, or the plants in the shade gardens.

This is how boys reason.

This is how boys reason.

It wasn’t my definition of fun when I was 6.

“You saute them with lemon and butter,” Dobbyn said. “They are crunchy on the outside, but they’re soft in the middle.”

Calvin and hobbes was in mother goose & grimm today. just to let you know.

Some people can’t seem to figure out that this isn’t a political strip. Get over it, O! You have been flagged, as usual.

Hey, how about some nice fried cicadas?

I have to say, Calvin’s logic is impeccable. Not that I’d stay, but he does have a logical reason to seek out worms.

+++++

It does remind me of the Far Side where the birds are perched on a baby buggy handle, with one talking about how he’s been stuffing worms into the baby all day and it’s still hungry.

I say that I am spoilt Like beef over almost any meat etc etc,the point is if you lived here you would find out that our worms and slugs are of very poor quality .

Wise move, Hobbes!

LOL xxx

I thought for a second Calvin’s imiagination going to gross Susie out only grossed out Hobbes.

I read recently that the UN is recommending the eating of insects and establishment of insect farms. I’m not sure if that’s a real policy, or the setup for a SyFy Original Movie…

Calvin will become one of those adults who loves brains, steak tartare, shushi, etc. = yuk, bleah, ugh, ptooey….

Calvin thinks he’s calling a spade a spade, but Hobbes doesn’t dig it.

Eating slugs raw can be fatal—just google “eating slugs fatal”. Better to eat them fried, poached or toasted!

I saw it. Calvin should take those slugs and worms to fish with. Maybe he could invite Susie to go along with them. Of course she would probably catch more fish and Hobbes would be even more fond of her.
