Another Trump U grad goes west, uhhh north, to make his fortune.
Calvin might have missed the lesson about failing at business, but brand your name and then borrow from the underworld so you can be blackmailed and forever in debt to your foreign masters.
Just need to re-brand it from “Ice-Cold” to “Eco-Friendly” and it’ll be flying off the shelves…, ehh, sidewalk… Also charge $4.99, people will think they’re getting a better deal…
This winter-themed strip reminded me of a strip about two years ago where Calvin and Hobbes had been playing in the snow and Mom had made hot chocolate with marshmallows in for both Calvin and Hobbes. This could be seen as another sign that she partly believes in Hobbes as was made very obvious when Mom and Dad searched for Hobbes in 1988 and Mom called out for him.
I responded to this strip by mentioning that I used to enjoy hot chocolate with marshmallows but had stopped having marshmallows because I had been advised to cut down on my sugar due to excessive sugar in my bloodstream. I also mentioned that the same medical examination had revealed I have “the blood pressure of a teenager”. Someone replied, “You’d better give it back.”
I’ve had another medical examination this weekend and I’m happy to say that my blood pressure is still very good and that my sugar level has come down very well in the past two years.
I’ll always be grateful to the girlfriend who taught me to enjoy an ice cream cone on a cold day. It is so pleasant to enjoy it for half an hour rather than lapping frantically for five minutes.
Calvin’s logic in this strip is exactly the same as the company that runs our tolls roads here in Colorado. Most expensive tolls I’ve seen anywhere in the country, but they just keep raising them and wonder why more people don’t use them.

That’s cable/satellite TVs plan… “people are leaving in droves, so better crank the price up so we can still make a profit.”

If you want to find out just how cold it is, Calvin, charge $5,000 per glass. Oh, and start really early in the morning!

Calvin doesn’t know it, but he’s learning about elasticity of demand, or in this case, the lack thereof.

Raise the price to 20 bucks and call it “organic” and give it a French sounding name like Le’mon-d squeeze. That always works.
