Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 18, 2022

I hate it when food does that to me!

No explanation necessary.

Next he’ll say his food ate his homework.

Rocking the Alien Facehugger Calvin ?

Just can’t catch a break

Interesting facial expression in the last panel!

He is still wearing the same red shirt in bed.

If only we could bear witness and tell Calvin’s mum that he was attacked by the food in question.

Then starve!!!

I felt exactly like that about liver.

Mom should be more careful, and thoroughly cook their meals.

“Yaah! Death to oatmeal!”

Check with Steve McQueen on how to fight it next time.

Apparently, Mom would rather punish Calvin than learn to cook!!

Me thinks Mum should refer to her “Joy Of Cooking” book.

He’ll do anything to spark that vivid imagination he has, not to eat the “green blob”, but the green blob got him first…gotcha!

Soon to me an overrated Jordan Peele film staring Lizzo as Calvin.

People hate vegetables because many overcook them, making them inedible.

Gotta admit – his imagination is entertaining. Reality is a pale shadow in his world.

In life, sometimes you win, sometimes your mush food does.

Why does Calvin even bother? By now, he should realize that his parents will NEVER believe his wild, yet plausible stories.

This must be a really old strip, it’s before they came out with talkies!

Calvin looks as if the food experience aged him by ninety years!

Hey. it’s not so hard to believe. I was attacked by a plate of spaghetti in Philadelphia once. I had to wash it off with a glass of wine. I am banned from that restaurant for another 2 years.

And thus, the Slinky was born…

Having kids like him makes me happy to have just one kid!!!!

Yuck, mashed peas. “It’s alive, it’s alive!!”

I have the same comment for most of the Calvin comics – - So glad I did not have boys!

At least it didn’t sing this time.

The wordless Sunday strips are often Watterson’s best work.

@Susan00100 and bluram Don’t worry; she cooks fine. What we see is Calvin’s disliked food as his imagination re-forms (deforms?) it.

Better bed without dinner than eating blorp!

It could happen.

“The Quatermass Xperiment”.

Google it.

“Sleep in those dirty clothes” This is too funny!

Where is Hobbes when you REALLY need him?

Can’t understand why his Mom didn’t believe him. (Grin).

When I was 5 I choked on a fish bone. From there on I would get sick to my stomach by the smell of fish.

I hate city counties in Virginia, there so annoying!

Just another psychotic episode.

Maybe if the Mom stopped often serving Calvin green glop for dinner, this wouldn’t happen!

Revenge of the “stuff”.

I’ve always loved this one.

Calvin the frog, he will eat by skin absorption.

So much has been said in this one without a single word being uttered—aside from BLECHHH. Awesome.

It looks like stop motion
