    I find it interesting that Dad can’t handle Mom’s creativity when he does it all the time to Calvin.

    When I was a kid, I assumed this strip was somehow related to the previous one, but I wasn’t sure how.

    Did the monsters help Mom cook the spider pie? Were the monsters INGREDIENTS in the spider pie?

    What’s for dessert? Maybe caterpillars and cream?

    I love this strip (not that I did anything like this to my kids as they were growing up).

    There was a similar strip where they tell him that it’s toxic waste, and he devours it, hoping to gain super powers

    Hm. I’ll have to include hairy spiders in my recipe next time I make meat pies.

    So what the heck did she put in there that might be seen as hairy spider legs? Asking for a friend.

    Once when I babysat my cousin’s kids I cooked frozen clam strips and popcorn shrimp for lunch and told them it was worms and grubs.

    I am the COOL cousin now.

    Mom knows how to use reverse psychology. Food only being “good for you” isn’t enough to get it eaten.

    Now I’m forced to wonder what it REALLY is.

    It can’t be as bad as the eggplant casserole I was force-fed as a child!

    We had biscuits with a layer of raisins in them – they were “fly cemeteries”. A a kid I thought it was hilarious. Now, pretty gross!

    Obviously not cooked right. Use a crock pot and it tenderizes the spider legs and the trichobothria (Hairs) fall right off.

    Every now and then, you realize that Mom must have been AMAZING when they met as college students. Like Gomez and Morticia Addams as soon as they’re off-camera.
