Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 30, 2020

That’s why you should record your shows and fast forward through the commercials.

20 minutes isn’t enough. Make it 20 seconds and you’ll really advertise it!

Good thing video games don’t have commercials!

Calvin has the “annoying saturation” part down pat, anyway.

It’s not as bad as showing the same commercial twice in the span of the same commercial break (sometimes BACK TO BACK) which I’ve seriously seen before.

It still beats political ads.

No natural ingredients ? Yummy!

Haha! Hobbes does not want to get carpet bombed with Sugar bomb ads.

7 minute spacing got 4 in one 30 minute program.

It’s true, some commercials come off as threats… “Buy Me.. Or Else!!!”

Somehow, I don’t have a desire for Chocolate-Coated Sugar Bombs. Sadly, Calvin may be right that repetition may be needed.

And now kids have Instagram and TikTok… Calvin’s dream has come true!

He’s a natural

LOL! Hobbes’ response is perfect!

Until now, I was perfectly happy with the cinnamon toast I just had for breakfast. Now I’ve got to have me some CFSBs.

I suddenly feel the urge to buy four boxes of cocoa puffs.

I find Calvin’s honesty more refreshing than an ACTUAL commercial.

Commercials are bad enough. Political commercials are even worse. I don’t know how anyone sells any product within 6 months of an election with all the time taken up with the lies and counter-lies. Our record so far is 5 political commercials in a row.

When the commercials come on, my wife or I put the program on pause, wait several minutes and then fast forward past them. Sometimes we have enough reserve “stop time” to just fast forward. If we land in the middle of a commercial, we’ll pause and refuel.

Humm. Oddly enough I have a sudden craving for Coco Puffs and a Snickers bar. I’d have some to if I didn’t have to go to the store to buy some.

Mm-mm, tell them the best part Calvin… all that food colouring and all the additives to keep it fresh for the next three hundred years.

Make the cereal “Anchovy Enhanced Tuna Bombs” and you might have a sale, Calvin.

My name is Calvin, and I approve this ad…

At least Calvin’s more truthful than cereal ads aimed at children usually are.

I am reaching for my remote to turn Calvin off. It might work.

Commercials don’t bug me. YouTube ads, on the other hand…

CALAVISION!!

remember when TV commercials were LOUDER than the programming

remember when the FCC made them stop that?

remember when everyone started watching Youtube?

now the commercials are every 2 minutes and LOUDER than the programming?

but there will be no FCC regulations – soooooooo the mute button gets a workout

-and no I will not ‘pay’ for Youtube to be commercial-free

Calvin will be hated and loved as much as any other annoying TV celebrity.

Cap’n Crunch Peanut Butter Cereal. Food of the gods!

Now days they put their product on every commercial. “My Pillow” anyone……

It’s all part of a balanced breakfast if you add an egg, a couple of pieces of steamed broccoli and carrots, a portion of sauerkraut, a small glass of fruit juice, a slice of toast, some refried beans … (Anyway, that’s what I eat – without the “bombs”)

get rid of the sugar bombs part, make it dark chocolate and sure! how much do you have available

Heh, I picture an abridged version of this stock music track playing underneath Calvin’s “commercial…” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4ZKkhl3kTA

I can’t believe his parents give a hyperactive kid like him a cereal with massive sugar and possibly a little caffeine (in the chocolate).

I hear Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs are endorsed by 9 out of 10 dentists.

Tom Selleck and his reverse mortgages: “I wouldn’t be here if I thought reverse mortgages took advantage of any American senior…(and if they weren’t paying me).”

I am curious about the “ chewy filling”. Sounds like they have gum inside.

He foresaw YouTube and TikTok.

Remember, Calvin…. everything you now say is THE TRUTH.

Even if you repeat it every 20 minutes, never once in my life would I eat Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs.
