Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 08, 2016

Mom should be happy she isn’t being rescued by a fireman right now (reality is not always as much fun as fantasy).

Best breakfast ever!

Some of the most cherished moments as a parent.

I was shivering, freezing cold, in an unheated hotel room in Nepal and I just laughed hard enough to warm up bit. Thank-you Mr. Watterson.

God job Calvin. Now please, go to school. (Ehm… schools are opened in an election day in USA?)

First time I tried to make fudge I had to chip it out of the pan which was enameled. The enamel chipped off and I had to throw the pan away!

Mom, it’s the thought that counts.

What happened was the toast also burned but got stuck in the toaster and jammed it, and he tried to pour the orange juice right next to the toaster, but accidentally spilled it right in the toaster.

I remember the first time my son was left home alone at the tender age of 12. He phoned his mom asking how to prepare his breakfast of cold cereal (NOT chocolate covered sugar bombs). Mom: “SIGH. Well, you take a bowl, etc” When we got home that afternoon he had baked a batch of shortbread cookies from scratch. They were delicious.

… and he had cleaned up after himself.

My wife gave me a Johnny Cash album!

Ain’t she sweet?

Meanwhile, back to today’s strip…

I think I’ll leave now and make some breakfast!

This is one of the many, many Calvin and Hobbes strips that had to be explained to me when I was younger. I never understood even half of these, yet I still loved them.

It’s the thought that counts

Did Dad lend a hand? I don’t know whether he’s any better in the kitchen or not!

At least he’s trying. He’ll probably burn the house down, but it’s the thought that counts, right? I’ve been trying to convince my parents of that for the longest time.

Call 911 mom. Calvin’s destroyed the kitchen.
