Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 20, 2019

But monkey brains are a culinary delight.

I thought Calvin liked eating gross things.

Let’s NOT ask him about Boston cream.

I dont get why they call it jelly when its really jam. They make you think your donut is wobbily in the middle (or wherever the stupid thing is as I’ve never had one in my life beacause my opinion on them is the same as Calvins) and then you discover its jam. What a snore fest

As a six y.o., I would have been all over those bad boys like a puppy on a slipper.

Remember the scene in NINETEEN FORTY-ONE when a jelly doughnut got stepped on?

Being a retired man from today , may I eat that jelly doughnuts ? Just to celebrate the event?

After grossing Mom out, Calvin snuck in and ate all the jelly donuts. Sneaky kid.

Mom is going to put them in your lunch so you can gross out Susie. Good plan Calvin.

I’ll take one of those, purple guts and all. I had a local donut shop make me a jelly donut with peanut butter icing. Best donut I’ve ever had.

If it’s not a plain glazed donut I’m not interested.

I would have thought that Calvin would like the idea of eating bugs and having their purple guts spill out the other end.

Really? Calvin would eat a real squishy bug just to make the guts come out, but he won’t eat a sugary delight because it reminds him of that very same thing? I’ll bet Hobbs would eat it. Take one for him.

I prefer cream filled doughnuts, more like a giant pimples oozing pus! Can’t gross me out!!!

In reality, he probable loves jelly doughnuts; he just enjoys grossing out Mom more.

Me too.

Huh. I would have thought Calvin would LOVE jelly doughnuts— not hate them— for exactly those reasons!

Fake news. No kid would turn down a jelly donut.

Calvin — an expert in eating bugs.

Could have been worse, what if it was chocolate filling?

I can’t imagine a kid turning down a donut.

“My friends ask me how I stay thin”.

If she has any sense, it’ll be by not getting pregnant again…

Mmm. Bug guts good!

Quick, please send them to Sussex-Tom, 53089, before they dry out. Late ’50s I daily bought 6 after lunch at the chocolate Malt Shoppe and finished them before we returned to high school 2-blocks away.

And if Mom had asked him if he wanted to eat a giant squishy bug it would be gone in seconds.

I thought Calvin would like that, his kind of food. For us no as deep fried.

Her answer should be: “I have a five year old kid.”

I should think Calvin would be all in favor of eating “giant, squishy bugs”?!

It is that and the irregular track and field events when Calvin ‘misses’ the bus.

Someone on the internet claimed they successfully stuck to their diet by hiring his teenaged daughter to say, “Ewww!” whenever he started looking through the kitchen…

This seems entirely un-Calvinish: It’s too sweet, so he doesn’t like it?? It’s gross and gooey, and seems like bug guts so he doesn’t like it? I think somebody has run in a ringer here.

Fake news. No one would refuse a jelly doughnut.

Sure, beauty has the power to excite men. But so does a box of donuts.

Anyone else remember the Dick Curless song? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSMN2N_tP0w

Calvin is so used to having to eat healthy food that he is suspicious when his mom offers fun food.

I hate kids who do that… the parents spend money and they don’t do anything…

I’ll take ’em. I love jelly doughnuts.
