    No briefs? I hope Spiff does a good job of post-business hygienic maintenance.

    When I was a kid, I thought it was weird how the aliens in Calvin’s Spiff fantasies always talked like aliens and not like Calvin’s parents or teacher.

    Is that Calvin’s imagination translating the dialogue?

    His parents should be used to tricks like these now.

    Suppose the manicotti to which Zokbar-2 is referring IS the manicotti that’s for dinner?

    Calvin, there are spacemen on other alien planets that would love to have a bowl of cold manicotti.

    The real question is: is Mom such a bad cook?

    My 3 favorite Italian dishes, not necessarily in this order, Manicotti, Pizza and Gina Lollobrigida.

    I can’t believe he doesn’t like pasta. Try some grated cheese on it.

    So many people started reading this strip as kids, like so young that they couldn’t yet read themselves so their parents or older siblings read it to them, so they’d always thought that Hobbes was a real-life tiger, and that makes me wonder at how they’d perceived strips like this very one.

    It’s a testament to Watterson’s excellent art that Calvin actually looks convincing shouting “Look behind you!” even though that’s usually an obvious trick.

    When I was Calvin’s age pasta sauce wasn’t tanked up with sugar like most of the major brands today. I refused to eat pasta sauce, eating my pasta with butter and cheese, until my uncle one day poured a lot of sugar into the sauce. It was during one of my childhood adventures (a trip to the Thousand Islands) but I remember little else but the pasta sauce incident.

    What he doesn’t know is that 15 years later, he’ll be a college student, standing in front of an open fridge in his briefs, eating cold manicotti straight from the takeout tray.

    A kid who doesn’t like pasta?? And manicotti in particular? Of course, the filling has to be yummy, but manicotti can be some of the most delicious treats fashioned by the hand of man.

    Calvin hates manicotti?!?!?! How can he hate manicotti?!?!?! Heck, it’s not even all that bad served cold (but nothing beats freshly baked). Oh, no way is this kid human!

    My mother never made us eat what was served. If you didn’t want to eat what she offered up, fine, go hungry or go make yourself a peanut butter sandwich. Just don’t whine later on that you are hungry.

    I love the dialogue in the final panel. A little real life intruding in on the imaginative scene.
