Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 21, 2012

Maybe if Calvin reduced his sugar intake, he would be less wired.

Ahhh, chocolate instant pudding made with chocolate milk, with some M&Ms and chocolate sprinkles on top. Heaven on Earth.

Yummy! Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs… all sugar… no additives!

Don’t see a sugar bowl on the table. Maybe Calvin is trying to cut down on calories. Remember the following strip from last July? Watterson drew it six years before today’s strip, so it’s fun to see how Calvin’s and Hobbes’s appearances have changed.Click here: Calvin and Hobbes (March 22, 1986)

Now I think I’ll be sick.

Click here: The Wizard of Id (February 7, 2008)

I just returned fro Norway where I had a delicious chocolate spread with my bread. I blame that spread for my constipation.

Having three bowls of that stuff would make anyone feel sick!I wonder if his mom is well stocked up on Imodium & Pepto ?

Remember some years ago when scientists invented peas that tasted like chocolate? To make kids eat vegetables? Whatever happened to them?

New and Improved Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs: Now with chocolate marshmallows!

Best strip today.

don’t take so sweet sugar bowl…..Calvin

@Gorbag42: The years. Whatever happened to them?

My department has won that award for the last 9 years running.

Only three bowls?

Where are his parents during all of this?

MOM, DON’T BUY IT!

Only way it could be better is with bacon in it! Everything goes with bacon!

I find the same happence with a 6 pack of beer you realize after 2 beer your almost half way,and you know the second half seems to go faster than the first half.

It sounds like when I re-watch the Star Wars Trilogy. Really like STAR WARS, but I know more is coming, EMPIRE blows me away, and then there is JEDI….. to let you down easy……

Ewoks = Cola bubbles up the nose

Ah, a great part of childhood… mixing crazy stuff together to see if it tastes good. When I was young (er, I mean young*er*), my sister persuaded me that it would be good to mix sugar in my milk. Makes sense, right? It should taste like melted ice cream. Not…@ Hobbes – I responded to you over at Cathy, but I wanted to tell you here that I enjoy your witty comments here and I appreciate the fun stuff that you talk about. There are some who some on here to pick on others, and some who come on here to have fun. I sure appreciate the ones who just want to have fun. Thanks!

There’s never enough chocolate.

@Sandy Shore,The kids’ desire for chocolate was ap’peas’ed!

@ Hobbes – really enjoy seeing those comic strips.

Ummmmm – Death by chocolate – what a way to go!

That is soooooo cute.

No wonder he’s hyper!

LOL xxx

I’ve wondered how Nutranella tasted. It looks good in those commercials. Is it really a nutritious spread for whole wheat toast?

I wonder who does the shopping? Mom or Dad?

Calvin should eat the second bowl first, since it “is always the best”. Then there would be no significant desire to eat the first bowl since it’s not as good as the second bowl, and since by the third bowl Calvin usually feels sick, there’s no point in eating that one at all. Then Calvin would be only one-third as wired, and well, also.Uh-ho, it seems that I’m beginning to sound like Hobbes (the commenter) here.

Every now and then, I hear someone say that love and indifference are opposites, and I heard (read) it again yesterday on this forum. The following comment repeats my comment at the end of yesterday’s comments in hopes of resolving that issue, at least in some minds.Love and hate are antonyms to each other by definition. If love and indifference were opposites, then hate and indifference would be opposites as well.Since indifference doesn’t care (is not caring), the opposite of indifference is caring.“If I Didn’t Care”, I wouldn’t have written this comment!

@Puddleglum2: Be careful, it could be infectious. Soon, mythreesons will be claiming that all of the posters on here are Bill Watterson in disguise. (Sorry, mythreesons – I couldn’t resist.)

Our local “Golden Corral” cafeteria put in a “chocolate fountain” a while back, with huge strawberries piled up alongside for dipping. Family dining at its most attractive to the kiddies, that!! Just try to get near the dessert line after school lets out on weekdays, or on any weekend.

Not only does our local “Golden Corral” have the chocolate fountain, they’ve also added cotton candy too! I’ll bet all that spun sugar stickiness is a lot of fun for the hard working servers there to clean up! [sarcasm, of course!!!]

Aaron, lightenup, Robert Watson, bizaker, Vonne Anton, Citizen GROG!, Molly mcgee, and Sandy Shore . . . thanks for all your support! I really appreciate it!!! ;-)

Mmmmmmmmm! A nice big bowl of “Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs” topped with some chocolate milk sounds really good right now to fight off the mid-afternoon sugar-low sluggishness I’m currently feeling! While I confess to being a huge chocolate lover, even I would stay away from 3 bowls of it! Other than Calvin, who wants to spend the entire day sick like that?!?! ;-)

@Vonne Anton,Thank you for your comment.It’s true that unselfish is a characteristic of love, but it is not the definition. I think love is a composite of many positive traits including affection, compassion, kindness, mercy, forgiveness, etc. Love, in short, is having a person’s best interests at heart. Love has several aspects, but I’m referring to the godly one that describes the essential nature of God, Himself.The opposite of unselfish is selfish.

Hobbes (the commenter): I just now saw a previous comment you wrote me at another forum. Thanks so much for saying that! You’re a real gem too!!! You’re always so helpful whenever the Queen of “Computer-Stupid Land” needs a helping hand and I just wanted to let you know that I always appreciate it — and you! Keep posting because I enjoy each and every one of them! Hope you’re having a great day!!!

:-)

Calvin has to eat lots of this cereal so Spiff the Spaceman will have enough energy to run his spaceship and escape the wrath of his mother after breaking half the stuff in the house….

One of my favorite sayings is " The opposite of love isn’t hate. It’s apathy." Helped me realize I really was over the failure of my first marriage.

I’m Bill Watterson!

(How else would I know about the peas?)

try either Jack Danials or Captian Morgan

I think some of us already have :D

@Mr Movie Trivia: Don’t know the answer to that one. Wish I were Bill Watterson and could help you out.

<< Vonne Anton said: "We all know who you say you are NOT….. but, who or what exactly ARE you? >>Hi Vonne AntonSome questions are so complex and so deeply profound that they have no simple answer. This is not one of them, but I just thought I’d mention that to try to change the subject.Here is a profound quote from T S Eliot:“In order to arrive at what you are not You must go through the way in which you are not.”It doesn’t really apply to my situation as a poster here, but perhaps you will find it helpful.(Don’t feel bad – it took me a long time just to figure out whether you were male or female.):>)

At least, I assume that’s the one you meant.

And his parents wonder why he’s hyper! : )

@rogue53,It seems to me that your explanation proves my point, but obviously you don’t see it the way I do, so I guess we end up agreeing to disagree.

@mythreesons,Since apathy is a synonym for indifference, I respectfully disagree that it’s the opposite of love. It’s halfway between love and hate. It neither cares positively nor negatively.I’m glad you are over the failure of your first marriage, but I think the best way is with love and forgiveness even if there can be no reconciliation. By the way, do you think you will ever be indifferent or apathetic to the identity of Hobbes (the commenter)? :o)

@Hobbes,You’re right, “it could be infectious” …contagious, even! (Snagglepuss) However, I’ll take my chances; life is full of risks.
