Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 03, 2010

Go for it Calvin

Good Morning, Marg

Mmmm, this cure is tasty!

try 7 sips of water.. that shall help you too :)

(Laughing & Clapping)

Giving Calvin extra sugar is like giving Superman nunchaku. Overkill.

Break out the Frosted Sugar Bombs!

Where are those Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs when you need them ?

Now the hiccups don’t bother you anymore!

Hi, Marg.

Hi all!

Things are going to get worse before they get better….but then the sugar high may eventually do the trick.

Oh this is getting good. :-)

Sugar worked for me. I think the idea is to try to swallow it before it completely melts.

A couple more spoons full and he (hic) won’t know he (hic) has them.

What about honey?

To cure hiccups, I sure wouldn’t try swallowing sugar cubes before it completely melts - unless the idea is that you choke so strongly that you forget your hiccup problem and worry about choking instead.

tastier option (hic) compared (hic) to water..

This cure always works for me:Thebird55 is correct-you need to swallow the sugar before it melts. I think the granularness (!) as it goes down turns the trick. Salt might work the same but I’m not going to try that!

I see you get the sugar high and then don’t care if you get rid of the hiccups followed by jumping on furniture and running around yelling like a crazy person followed by sugar crash and deep sleep! That’ll get the job done!

Cube sugar! You must take 3 pieces of cube sugar or candies! And swollow very strongly! Sometimes hiccup is gone after one piece, sometimes it needs 3 pieces!

Sweet!

Good morning Marg! Good morning Fran and Kizzzy!

YAY GROG!

Good morning to all! Hey Grog! – How did you do that?! Wow! I think Hobbes is either the wisest person to have ever walk edthis planet or he’s been reading the comment section here the last couple of days!

Just…….a………spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.

\\//_

He’s going to be pinging off the walls, with the hiccups helping him along bounce around… lol

I think C & H Sugar is a Calvin and Hobbes product, isn’t it?

I recommend removing one’s pants, sitting on a block of ice. and singing the score to Oklahoma while I capture the event for posterity on my camcorder.

Poindexter, Marg must have been delayed, distracted, what ever. I was surprised, too. The only other time I’ve been first is when Marg’s been sick.

the FLAG goes up again!

Tooooooo sweet.

Good Morning Mike Firesmith and Loki.

Watterson does the most wonderful body language and facial expressions. That makes it all so real.

Tanya, I got a laugh from the image of Calvin you painted. Thanks.

Bourbon works way better than sugar for me. Doesn’t do a thing for my hiccups but who cares.

This will work great until Calvin turns 30 when he has no metabolism and type-2 diabetes…

Bert, Then Calvin will need more medicine, and more sugar to help it go down, and then more medicine… it’s a vicious (viscous) cycle!

Who needs Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs when you have straight sugar? Who needs all that cereal getting in the way of your sugar? Besides, Calvin puts more sugar on his CFS Bombs anyway.

The point is to swallow the sugar. Cereal has nothing to do with the theory, no matter how much sugar is in the cereal.

A spoon full of sugar helps the sugar go down, hopefully taking the hiccups with it.

A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. Where’s the medicine?

I gave my sure cure yesterday, but rather late so you probably didn’t see it.

Wait until the sugar kicks in!

fran650: I aim to please! :D

Dont overdo your power Hobbes,your dealing with Calvin remember.

I sometimes think about Calvin grown up and married, and with a “chip off the old block”. That would be Karma!

Calvin knocks off all the sugar in the house, still has the hiccups, and goes around like a launching at Cape Canaveral sounding like a badly tuned lawnmower. I can hardly wait to see his mother’s reaction to that…

SCOTCH! STRAIGHT! Then let’s see what happens…

I didn’t think that Calvins parents would let something like plain suger lie around expecally like a kid that’s Calvin

Obviously, Calvin is gonna love this cure :D

Sugar works for me great!

Rum and coke also but maybe that’s what gave me the hic ups?!

Maybe chocolate? The booze is for the parents when the sugar hits our boy Calvin.

the best cure is to recite the alphabet backwards 2.5 times while clapping the rhythm to “I Gotta Feelin”

I believe I will stay with hot water for hiccups. I don’t get them that much and hot drinks mellows me. All the comments about cure for hiccups is funny. There was a girl in one state that had it worse then Calvin on hiccups disrupted her life badly.

Wow. Four spam flags.

My daughter did exactly the same (jelly) today and I had to think back about this joke.

When did plash tigers find out that sugar helps hiccups?
