Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 21, 2015
Transcript:
Dad: "Ahh. What could be better than a Saturday 6-mile run at dawn in 20-degree weather..." Dad: "..Followed by a big bowl of gummy oatmeal and some dry toast!" Calvin: "How bout some dried up prunes and a root canal?" Dad: "Dried prunes! Do we have some??"
Susie Derkins :D about 10 years ago
Can prunes be ripe?

Dad will go in for the root canal right after he finishes his breakfast.-For readers outside the U.S., 20 °F is equal to -7 °C.

My neighbor grows the variety of plums that are dried for prunes – they are really yummy.

I’ve never eaten a prune in my life: back in kindergarten they tried to get me to eat a bowl of prunes and custard, and 60 odd years later the b@st@rds still haven’t won!!

Never give me a root canal. Lost all my teeth and roots to cancer. So i saved some money on that.

I’ve read that dried fruit is hard to digest and should be rehydrated before consumption…who knew?
gaebie about 10 years ago
It is 20 degrees here this morning (and snowing hard), and I just saw a runner pass our house. And I envy him. I remember going for a run in this weather…30 years ago.

I think Susie Derkins Returns D: was implying that all prunes are dried. Therefore, “dried prunes” is redundant.
Puddleglum2 about 10 years ago
Isn’t it potentially dangerous to put one’s hand on the stove near a hot burner? It burns me up when somebody does that!

@Gaijinrabbit, from yesterday:Thanks for the links to the wage inequality discussion. I was a little incensed by the comments that referenced a study denying what I have (for a lifetime) assumed as factual (i.e. men’s wages are substantially more than women’s, all other things being equal). I was forestalled in doing the research owing to lack of time/laziness. Thanks for the assist.

Unlike most people, I really love burnt toast. It’s supposed to be good for you.So that’s a bonus.I look like Calvin when I have to get up really early.xxx
