Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 14, 2010

Nice try, Calvin!

I try to reach middle age!

I want some SUGAR BOMBS!

He would make a great salesman

Calvin wants to share his Sugar Bombs?

Tis a shame that I am not a breakfast eater. Then again cereal is good anytime of day to eat.

No, he just can’t handle any more of it!!!!

He just wants the beanie NOW.

Have some more, Calvin. You’re not wired enough yet!

Calvin’s mom sounds a lot like mine used to when I wanted to get the peanut butter out of the Davey Crockett Glass it came itn.

Wait, Mom - you WANT him to eat that junk?!? You have to live with him afterward, you know …

Better solution: buy the four boxes, empty them into the compost pile, keep the proof-of-purchases and get the beanie.

I couldn’t eat that stuff any more myself. And I never did like chocolate-flavored cereals & chocolate milk.

You’re on your own, Calvin

Good Morning, Marg,

They tell me I’m middle aged… Having a mid life crisis…. That should put me in the middle of my life.

I don’t know ANYONE who made it to 122 years old!

moms always know :P

Put four boxes of that stuff into the compost pile? Are you kidding? That would turn their back yard into a toxic waste dump and leave it sterile for at least a thousand years.

Nothing a quick course in advertising won’t fix.

Okay, I know this is a novel concept but why not just buy Calvin a beanie hat?

But then, LuvH8, you wouldn’t have this amusing conundrum. Besides, many of us remember eating more Wheaties than we could stomach, just to send in for a decoding ring or some such. I’m enjoying the nostalgia.

Check Sherpa & Editorials, too. Some strips have two copies of this spam.

Can’t beat a sugar rush to kick start the morning!!

dhfjhg translates as tosspot who cannot speak English, what a complete PLANK

Flagged.

And Mom and Dad, what are you thinking? Throw that freaking cereal out make make the boy some toast and eggs or oatmeal!

It wasn’t Wheaties; it was Ralston/’Purina Cream ‘o Wheat, and it was a Sgegeant Preston of the Yucon decoder ring and whistle (for King, the wonderdog)

Coy, your the only one’s got a Fez with a propeller on it.

(“Shriner’s Convention” Ray Stevens)

\\//_

I saved for a decoder ring and was I cheesed when it turned out to be the same as in Poe’s “The Gold Bug” I ate all that crappy cereal for nothing..

I sent in for a pair of Tom Mix glow-in-the-dark spurs. Boy, were they cool!

I think I had to eat a ton of Shredded Ralston (now “Wheat Chex”) in order to get the spurs.

“Shredded Ralston for your breakfast bite size and ready to eat It’s delicious and nutritious it’s a treat that can’t be beat”

Is that the way it went?

Sugar Bombs.

They’re great.

(A rhyme.)

“crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside” - gee, he may as well be eating bugs!

The reason Calvin eats Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs? With the hyperactivity it gives him, “No brothers or sisters yet!”

Calvin(s) bring(s) on “mid-life” quicker than Dad(s) realize(s)

The kids giving it his best sales pitch! I wouldn’t eat the cereal either. I’d sit down with him and explain that the cereal is expensive and we’d work out a way for him to pay me back either by his allowance or chores for a month with no fuss.

I just wonder how Hobbs is feeling this morning. Maybe he’s crashed after that Sugar Bomb high he got.

I see Calvin is rev ving up for a career on Madison Ave……

@RMon

I answered your question yesterday, but it was very late. I don’t know if you saw it. Sorry I was at work.

thats just about the best description of Oatmeal I have ever seen .

Maybe Mom & Dad will catch on one day that, perhaps the reason that Calvin is such a terror and a pest is because they let him eat such toxic detrimen and let him have his own way too much.

up a child in the way he should go and, when he is old, he will not depart from it. The Bible is correct. You need to train children to do what is right just like you train a dog or horse. You practice it with them. Then, if they disobey, punishment is much more just (make sure you don’t discipline in anger).

Oh, No! When Calvin grows up he we be a pitchman an on infomercial!

Move over, Vince: Calvin is in the studio!.

Calvin is dying to get that beanie….but mom and dad won’t.

Johanan Rakkav, toxid waste dump…sterile… lol rofl… that’s the best comment!

My son ate 8 (!!) bowls of cereals while being on a holiday camp. The table, who ate more bowls of cereals didn’t need to help in the kitchen afterwards… Funny agreement, isn’t it?

@agpeter, You’re on the right track. Sing to the tune of “When It’s Roundup Time in Texas” “Shredded Ralston for your breakfast Starts the day off shining bright Gives you lots of cowboy energy With a flavor that’s just right It’s delicious and nutritious Bite size and ready to eat Take a tip from Tom Go and tell your Mom Shredded Ralston can’t be beat”

Just buy the kid a beanie at the store and everyone will be better off.

C’mon, Dad. You only live once, and by the time you get to middle age, you will regret the opportunities whose knocks went unanswered!

rofl he is always is trying to some some one to do something for him so he doesn’t have to do it. smart kid bt it never work i give him props for trying

Dont encourage him to eat more of this . Be a hero and do like benbrilling said buy a great beany for a couple of bucks

R_Noonan63 said: “I always like my Chocloate Frosted Sugar Bombs mixed with my Oatmeal.”

YUM!!!!! What a great idea! I think the next time I have a nice big bowl of “pasty, bland, colorless sludge”, I’ll add a little bit of my own “Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs” (aka: Coco Puffs) to it and liven the flavor up a little bit!

Life’s just too short not to get some enjoyment out of it!

Hey, come on folks. Buying a beanie at the store just isn’t the same! It wouldn’t be the “official Sugar Bombs beanie”, even if mom made up a fake patch or something and stuck it on there. You know how kids are.

As for trying to feed him a real breakfast, they’d have to hold him down and force it down his throat. They follow the path of least resistance.

@GretchensMom: That’s what my children have to do: Mix their “Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs” with oatmeal, so the sugar amount is not too high, but the flavor is there.

They don’t care what he eats as long as he doesn’t bother them. Would it kill them to help out a little – answer YES especially dear ole dad. I hope he does go up the wall from eating all that sugar – they deserve it.

mr i eat a certain type of healthy ceral and not sugar booms yuck.

by the time i get on this gocomics everyone has gotten rid of the spammers and i thank you.

sorry for not typing right my rt shoulder is not working right and not used to typing one handed also correcting my mistakes. read big top then you will know.

Oatmeal!?! Dad’s one happening guy…And mom? A real gone gal with that toast & tea…

My Mom always lets us kids pick one cereal each. My sister chose Sugar Smacks, and brother liked Frosted Flakes. I chose Life cause Mikey liked it! In the winter give me Maypo. I liked it when the prize came in the box. But cereal got all over the place cause we couldnt wait till the end!

“Go somewhere else Calvin!”

When he sticks you two creeps in the old folks home and never looks back, remember that all you ever did was criticize him and tell him to get lost. You didn’t even pay attention to the Lousy Dad Polls when he tried to warn you.

“Go somewhere else Calvin!”

calvin won’t get past the age of 6

Well, Calvin’s gonna make a great politician!

calvin rules lol

crunchy-on-the-outside , chewy-on-the-inside.. nice salesman…

he is pretty quick to look for a new customer after dad refuses him… chooooo chewwwt..

Speaking of Wheaties, I didn’t know it was a breakfast cereal until I joined the Navy.

My dad used it for fish bait.

Calvin: The Born Marketer. He’s looking at a promising career. XD
