Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 13, 2021

She didn’t say anything about not wanting the cookies.

They’re fugu fudge cookies, Calvin.

Well played Calvin

C’mon Susie! Haven’t you learned by now that Calvin is so bad at school, he even makes lunch unpleasant?

It all lies in the right strategy.

Calvin is preparing her for the poker championship where she’ll have to keep a straight face.

I’m surprised that Susie isn’t used to Calvin’s attempts at grossing her out.;-D

Susie and her incurable Calvin affliction…

Someday, Calvin, when you and Susie are married (and, let’s face it, it’s inevitable) she will serve you an actual processed mouse loaf sandwich. Then she’ll be even.

Processed mouse loaf is what I have heard head cheese was in my youth.

OH! The flirting just goes on…..

Better than the “mystery meat” and “fish flavored sticks” we used to get.

Hmm, gotta be careful about trading anything with peanut butter in it nowadays. Years ago, when I was covering for another teacher, I was in the school’s main office when the whole place had to be on lockdown. I heard that a couple of kids traded snack treats in the cafeteria, and the one kid who ate a peanut butter cookie had peanut allergies. Through the office’s windows, I could see the poor kid being wheeled out on a stretcher with oxygen tanks on his chest as EMTs rushed him to the hospital.

I’d take mouse loaf over egg salad ANY day!!

“How do you stay so thin, Susie? I hang around Calvin when I feel the need to overeat!”

How many mice per slice?

Tastes like chicken.

Egg Salad! Calvin’s Mom is trying to make sure Hobbes doesn’t eat Calvins lunch again isn’t she? I know it’s safe from me. …ick

either way, I’m hurling

12 years from now this will be a whole DIFFERENT conversation!

Why does she even sit by him?

I think everyone was required to have a kid like that at the table at one point during school.

Any more talk of mouse loaf and she’ll be tossing her cookies at you, Calvin.

The nice thing about serving mouse loaf. It makes perfect sandwiches the next day.

Mom made me sardine sandwiches, I loved them. Funny, don’t remember anyone offering to trade, or even coming close to me after lunch, for that matter.

Talk about free food. Do that everyday, and you’ ll be stashing up for winter.

HA! Susie fell for it!

Save the ear bits for me.

Ahhhh… Young Love!!! :)

Barf city!

Oh my Calvin’s imagination. She ought to be used to it, sort of.

Well, at least she doesn’t have a Swiss cheese and ketchup sandwich again.

she shouldve just stole the lunch lol

Human calvin is lucky. I want those cookies!!!

well, that worked

Why does Susie even try?

Susie. Have you ever met Calvin? I mean, why would you even try?!?

Mouse loaf, boy, that takes me back. Mom would leave my Mouse loaf sandwich on the sideboard, all night, to increase the flavor.

The names we called food back in the 7th grade…..

Egg salad sitting in a lunch box all day – is Calvin’s mom trying to make him sick?

everybody knows whiskers are removed during the processing
