Watterson must have enjoyed Disney’s “Weekenders” cartoon when it came out. Tino’s mom’s cooking did this sort of thing. I still chuckle over the time the kids ate a plate of organic potscrubbers thinking they were cookies.
Love the expression in the first frame – poking tongue out. Also like how Calvin pokes at his food to make it respond to his prodding.This must be one of the few times that Calvin actually eats his green gloop – even if it is just to make it shut-up.
Calvin Dude does have a good background in culture. He is not as uneducated as he makes himself out to be. He must have a high IQ for a kid his age. I am impressed.

That “thing” was home free but then it had to sing.-This has to be one of the funniest C&H strips, which is saying a lot.

You know, somebody is going to come here and say Shakespeare didn’t write it.

There seems to be a lot of Shakespeare in GoComics these days. Pibgorn has its characters performing Romeo and Juliet, and now this.

And I almost forgot: Dick Tracy had a bit of King Lear.

There’s something to be said about eating food that can quote Shakespeare. Can’t think of what, though…

I never read Shakespeare until I was in highschool, let alone when I was 5 or 6 years old.

No one has done the comic strip as well as Bill Watterson since he retired. The man is a genius.

Who is the Liberal — Calvin, the glob of food, or Calvin’s Mom?

Calvin knows better than to PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD, but nobody told him he couldn’t FOOD WITH HIS PLAY!

Calvin can imagine a Shakespearean soliloquy?!?

Shakespeare can be tough to stomach sometimes.

Calvin’s shocked expression in the 3rd panel is priceless.

The first 3 panels of the last last row (panels 11-13) take it from funny to brilliant.
