My daughter used ti insist on putting a cold cloth on me forehead and taking my temperature when I was sick. It used to bug me (when I sick all I want is to be left alone) but made me feel really good to have a kid that cared so much. The feeling good really outweighed the slight irritation. And I get a little sad when I get sick now and the little thing isn’t there with an ice cold washcloth.
My nephew was sick. I tried to get him to drink some water, telling him it will help break the slight fever he had. He said, “I don’t want to get better. I don’t want to go to school.”
Let’s hope it’s not another #####. (This message has been censored because it contains content that readers may find disturbing. Anyone who guesses gets a cookie.)
I come here to read funny comics but some of the comments on here are just terrible and reflect the lack of inner humanity in some people and I just find it disgusting and sad that people like you are called human. What happened to feeling personal shame for such vile thoughts? The anonymity of the internet has let trolls say whatever they feel like saying like the classless beings they have become.
All these political comments are ruining the pleasure of reading the comments on this strip. I don’t care what your politics are – take them where they belong. There are plenty of political cartoons. This is not one of them so quit being lazy and ruining it for everyone who wants to enjoy a cartoon for its own sake!
You are right, and I’ll never be the first one to bring them in on a comics page where all should be in fun. Once the first guy starts, it becomes increasingly more difficult to refrain from retort.

I like being pampered when I don’t feel well. Alas there is no one to pamper me when I don’t feel well.

If tomorrow all my things were gone
I’d work for all my life.
And I had had to start again,
With just my children and my wife.
And I’d think my lucky stars to be livin’ here today,
Cause the flag still stand for freedom and they can’t take that away
[Chorus]
And I’m proud to be an American
Where at least I know I’m free
And I won’t forget the ones who died who gave that right to me
And I’ll gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land, God Bless the USA.
From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee,
Across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea.
From Detroit down to Houston and New York to LA,
Well there’s pride in every American heart and it’s time we stand and say
[Chorus]
c/o Lee Greenwood and for Proud Americans everywhere…

All these political comments sparked by a Calvin and Hobbes strip that had nothing to do with politics. Wow.

But who wants to not feel well?
.
Someone who wants to be cared for.

The years of agony are just beginning. For everyone but rich white guys, that is.

What’s wrong with Mum exactly? I’m guessing Flu.
I know that was a miserable time for me when I had it.

That 2nd panel may be one of the best depictions of Calvin he ever drew.

Aw man. I missed this one. It’s great! Calvin may be a pain sometimes, but he’s loved.
