Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 15, 2016

What motivates an onion?

Beer batter and a pint of Guinness.

Or people crying in the audience.

You need to go deep, peel back all the layers…

Be sure to sing ♫We Shallot Overcome♬

What motivates an onion? The fact that it can make people cry without even trying, that’s what!

His performance brought tears to my eyes.

What motivates and onion?Not getting peeled, sliced, diced and thrown in a pan of hot oil only to get burnt or turning into mush.

He knows his onions.

Of course Calvin only gets one line in the play.

An onion is motivated by its oninoocity, and thou, a Young rouge. Dost the villainy of causing everyone to cry!

And that is what an onion is motivated by

SPOILER ALERT.

Hence the suddenly remembering lines when the zipper gets stuck on your costume in the second to last strip of this arc.

I knew a young actor, in Hollywood in the ’70s, that got a role as a potato in a commercial. He actually said something like this in that he was searching for nuance in his character. :D

What motivates an onion? why fertilizer, of course.

The start of something big…

What motivates an onion? A sharp knife.

I CRIED SO HARD AND OFTEN THAT I WET MY PANTS !!!

I CRIED SO HARD AND OFTEN THAT I WET MY PANTS !!!

Watching a Buffy episode called “Out Of My Mind” (10/17/2000) we see Dawn (Michell Tranktenberg) we see pouring some cereal called “Sugar Bombs”!Now Dawn is Buffy’s younger sister only she has no sister, part of a massive spell that figures throughout the entire season.

“It’s so tasty too! Just like candy!”

I was a true fan of C&H, loving almost every cartoon Watterson drew but this arc is among my all-time favorites.

I laughed so hard, I started crying.

Motivation: Spice things up and a be offensive!

Mission accomplished!!!!

Seeing a lonely little petunia in the onion patch

I understand the need to get “into character”. I feel that way every time I leave the house.
