Hmmmm, I remember shelling fresh peas, sitting in the doorway with a huge pile of pods in a sack and a bowl in my lap….some of them even made it there. Mum accepted the loss and gave me less at dinner.
Think of it as a lesson in geometry. I mean he got the lever and fulcrum going on there. Not to mention the lessons of gravity and the possible military applications of it. Not a big pea fan here.
I used to try doing that. I HATED peas. Dad whupped me good (back when you COULD be whupped) and I never tried it again…at least when dad was at the table. :)
For once Bill Watterson has got his physics wrong. Assuming that the giant pea is of Calvin’s weight, with the spoon acting as the fulcrum, Calvin would not be able to lift the pea. Law of moments. Notwithstanding this, nobody understands physics better than Bill Watterson.

Turn the spoon around and flip a pea in Dad’s wide-open mouth.

It’s a shame that he doesn’t have a brother because then they could have pea wars.

That would explain the quantity of peas under my sons seat, except he’s a messy eater without this.

He should have waited for Hobbes to tell him to do it. At least THEN he’d be minding his peas and cues!

I have a theory why kids don’t like veggies: that awful yucky green color—kids hate it.
