    << Yesterday, comicnut4636 said: “Hobbes (the poster) Where do you find all these great links? Thanks for them!!” >>Hi comicnut4636. When I find a comic strip that I like, I save a few key words on my computer along with the date. I’ve been doing this for years. Now when I see a comic strip and it reminds me of a previous one, I can run a computer search to locate it. We comicnuts have our ways…

    Dad’s gotta have a million of them. I’m afraid what’ll happen after he eats the stuff though with Calvin’s imagination.

    Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠!

    I was thinking Calvin and Danae (Non Sequitur) would be a dangerous combination. And if you throw Alice (Cul de Sac) into the mix, I’m heading for the hills.

    I guess it isn’t PC to threaten your kid with the back of your hand anymore. Pity, worked for my Dad.

    GOT is superfluous; has/have is sufficient, although this GOT for emphasis isn’t as bad as usual.

    P.S. Hobbes (the poster), you know with GoComics.com, you can tag comics under a certain subject. But, I can’t argue with that.

    mac47,At the age of 13, you are interested in grammar. I commend you. In general, I think the English language is deteriorating, although I know an English teacher who says it’s evolving. I suppose it is, but mostly for the worse, not the better.

    Calvin’s eating style in panel three reminds me of the Cookie Monster.

    He’s a bit overexuberant …crazed, even. (Snagglepuss) Even Garfield isn’t that sloppy an eater.

    I never was a picky eater. About the only thing my parent’s occasionally had for dinner that I turned my nose up too was lutefisk. I still have no desire to be in the same room as it.

    I didn’t have this problem. I just told my kids when little you won’t like it and they would try then find out okay.

    I haven’t comment too much on C&H strips not because I’m mad I’m not. I’m getting ready for a summer class. I’m taking on-line class with a local Jr. college for a different type of position knowing employer’s will not hire someone my age. Worth a try and I will try to learn something.

    This one reminds me of Ralphie and Mom in A Christmas Story (even to the disapproval of the rest of the family):“Who’s Momma’s little piggy?”. . . “How does Mamma’s little piggy eat?”

    Language will evolve whether we wish for it to happen or not. As our society, interests, technology, and methods of communication grow so will our language. Wishing for it to not evolve because of our contemporary standards and ideals is extremely narrow-minded and simplistic. Imagine if we all still spoke in Old English, or even in a Shakespearean tongue. Laziness and understandability begat new rules and new vocabulary, permeated with jargon and slang of the ages until the language you speak has developed. Like it or not, your language is evolving……

    My parents used the guilt trip,it could go like this,people are starving in China and you refuse this good food that’s on your plate . They would change country’s to be fair I guess. Boy was I dumb it worked. They still starve in too many places , and I am too short for my weight .

    We had a simple solution for our kids not eating what was good for them. Any item left on their plate untouched would go into the fridge and be served (warmed up if needed) at the next meal. That would be the only thing given to them. They had to take at least 3 bites of it before they were served anything else. Gradually got to where they would just go ahead and eat it in the first place to avoid the hassle.Roy Acuff of Grand Ol Oprey fame tells the story of him and and Jerry Clower talking about their dogs:Jerry, “Roy, I heard you got a new dog.”Roy, “Yep”.Jerry, “What do you feed him?”Roy, “Boiled okrey!”Jerry, “Wow, I never could get mine to eat that.”Roy, “Mine didn’t either for a month!”

    My parents would just mash my green stuff with bananas to get me to eat it when I was a kid. It worked every time.

    Reminds me of the ad on TV where some putative adult male is pretending to sample broccoli from a refreshments table, tasting only the dressing in which he dipped the broccoli. Idiot. I’d like to take his plate away from him and kick him out.

    Mom also does that to get Calvin to eat in a later strip and Dad doesn’t like it.
