Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 29, 2016

Mom, next time run a rehearsal with Dad before you pull this kind of act.

One of my top 10 favorite C&H of all time.

Stuffed peppers definitely have the taste and texture of monkey heads to me, not that I’ve ever had monkey heads.

The apple didn’t fall far from the tree.

The best part of being a male, is that we never really grow out of being boys.

Can I join in?

“Monkey Heads” is all in Top 10 disgusting foods.

In a Indiana Jones movie monkey heads were served as a yummy meal for the autochthonous

What do stuffed peppers taste like to monkeys?

A no brainer.

Dad spoils all the fun. My Mom, being of the “right” culture, loved stuffed peppers The rest of us couldn’t share her enthusiasm.

the dad isn’t very bright

If I said what Calvin says in the third panel, I’d be in trouble

In India, Temple of Doom was actually banned for the monkey heads scene.

My second favorite!

I’ll try to remember this the next time my wife fixes stuffed bell peppers.

Oh, well in that case I`ll have mine with vanilla Yoplait.

Little wonder the poor kid is such a misfit. His parents rarely level with him.

eeewwww! This brought back the image of a disturbing scene in the mini series “Pacific”

Dad is so gullible! What grown man would actually believe they were monkey heads?

That’s what is known as sweet meats. I think there’s a scene in The Very Thought Of You by Lynn Kurland that goes that far.

Bill Watterson is right-handed, but everyone in Calvin’s family seems to be a southpaw.

“Monkey heads, monkey heads, roly-poly monkey heads…”

I laughed so hard at Mom’s first line when I was Calvin’s age.

Tough luck Mom. You’ll never get those two to eat at the same time.

Are you sure they’re not brothers?

Like Son, Like Father.

Ah, monkey heads … the dinner of champions!

Made me laugh.

uh oh

Well. I guess that takes care of any developing interest in sweetbreads..

“Some of us do more than others.” I’m not sure I know what you mean.

Well, we all know the apple does not fall far from the tree…

doesn’t mom always yell at dad for this
