Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 07, 2017

Gawd bress yoo.

Tho do I Calvin!

Absorutery!

It’s disconcerting cause you know it’s going to come rushing out when you least expect it.

Me, doo!

What does a dog with a cold say?

Mark, mark!

What does a cow with a cold say?

Boo.

It’s even worse when you’re somewhere (or doing something) and you don’t want to sneeze so you try to hold it. When the sneeze does come out it’s far worse than it would have been.

Best way to hold back a sneeze is to put your tongue against your upper palate. It works also against a yawn. Not always effective, but 80% of the time at least.

You have to be very careful abut holding in sneezes. Big one could backfire and blow your brains out through your ears.

What’s up with the missing comments and likes icons on the right side of the strips for Rose and Bottomliners. Gad!! Don’t tell me there another BIG IMPROVEMENT coming!!

Never hold one back. Cracked a rib doing it.

You hold a sneeze like that in, and there’s going to be a gooey kablooey!

However Calvin, when you do manage to finally sneeze, boy does that one feel good.

That is bad sneeze starts then stops.

Is this the same Calvin who hoped his face would freeze in an awful look.

HOW TO STOP A SNEEZE: I read it decades ago in a Readers Digest This is Joes Nose article: Gently pinch the sides of your nose about 2/3 of the way up. It gets some acupressure points. There are just some times when you DON"T need to be sneezing. This will delay the urge for a while. It has always worked for me. The old finger under the nose “trick” only results in a runny finger!

Me too, Calvin!

What did he say ? I didn’t know that exactly. “I just hate it with this happens.” Is that right ?
