Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 30, 2015
Transcript:
Calvin: "I need to get a heart rate monitor" Hobbes: "What for?" Calvin: "To make sure I'm chewing at my aerobic threshold! Every day I want to see that I'm chewing more gum faster, harder, and longer!" Hobbes: "What's the point of attaching a number to everything you do?" Calvin: "If your numbers go up, it means you're having more fun" Hobbes: "Science to the spirit's rescue once again"

You’re drooling on yourself, Cal. I don’t think that’s what the editors of Chewing magazine had in mind when they wrote about “driving the girls wild.”

I have a heart rate monitor I use with our treadmill. It transmits to the treadmill, and you can monitor the results on the display. I’m not sure if it still works because it has been some time since I used the monitor
Of course, it has been some time since I used the treadmill, too!

I used to chew so much gum that my boyfriend called me Miss Gum. I haven’t enjoyed it for the last few years because it makes my jaw tired.

I was told to chew gum so that my cheeks would be slimmer. I ended up with TMJ
