Free food is an incentive to me. I once approached the only other person in a dress shop who had a Y chromosome and asked him, “My wife is bribing me with lunch. What’s your story?” Eh, it started a conversation and the time was spent more pleasantly.
Gotta love Hobbes’ expression in the next-to-last panel. Purely casual, just waiting for Cal to strike the bait. And naturally, the whole thing is Cal’s way of changing his mind about the cookie party.
This is a popular strip so this would be a good place to ask : Has anyone else noticed that the GoComics site has been very slow in the past few months? I find that as I go from one favorite to the next, it takes forever for the comic to load.
I really want to see a “fast forward” strip with Calvin and Susie as married adults with kids. There’s been a few fan fiction stories out there, but a series would be great.
It’s hard to tell… Is Hobbes dressed up with a tie in the last panel? I wonder if Susie knows Alice and Polyfil from Cul de Sac? Golly, the two of them would have Calvin’s number! ;)
this strip works on so many levels. We see Calvin complaining about “girls and dumb toy animals” – as Hobbes reverts to his inanimate state. We also see Susie, who often states how little she cares about Calvin especially after he insults her, actually feeling sad about Calvin’s rejections. And finally, there’s Hobbes who often acts as Calvin’s conscience prodding him to do the right thing – even if it is in the guise of getting free cookies.
For as badly as Calvin treats her, he should be grateful that she would include him in a cookie and milk party. There must not be any girls her age in the neighborhood. I know how that is. I didn’t have any girls to play with in my neighborhood either. We lived on the wrong side of the tracks.
