I can see the point of having the TV jump up and down to depict a mindless fast-paced cartoon or action-filled drama, but it seems out of place for a nature documentary.
It finally occurred to me to see if “gurgitate” is a recognized word. Turns out it isn’t, but “ingurgitate” is. Also “gurgitation”, although that has a meaning unrelated to regurgitate and ingurgitate.
Yes, I realize that nobody asked, and almost nobody else cares.
With that glop the Mom usually serves for dinner, I’d question it as well! I’m also reminded of when we were on vacation at Washington D.C., and at the Natural History Museum at the Smithsonian Institution, there was some video playing about animals being toxic to predators or something, and it showed a blue jay eating a monarch butterfly and then vomiting from the toxic fluids. My dad was pretty grossed out by that, but I knew it was coming since I read about how those butterflies are toxic to birds.

Birds probably find the idea of mammalian lactation and nursing to be pretty gross too.

perhaps you shouldn’t watch nature programs before dinner, Calvin
(unlike Calvin’s appetite, thank you all hoping that that I’ve come back)

Really Calvin? We thought you liked gross stuff.

It may sound gross, but it’s better than where that hot dog really came from.

Indeed. That thing looks suspicious.

No wonder he thinks everything she serves is gross, lol.

Well, I suppose if she doesn’t want to use ‘paper or plastic’ she has to get imaginative when bringing home the groceries.

That’s a pretty big plateful for a six year old. None of my kids at that age would eat a third of that.

Ok that’s one of the funniest Calvin looks I’ve seen. BWAAHAHAHA!!

See, that is why Calvin should have stuck to the mindless drivel he usually watches.

I understand why the tv is off the stand in the second panel. But why it the tv off the stand in the first panel?

My most fav meal growing up was not so lean ground beefs fried within an inch of it’s life mixed in with mashed potatoes and a can of cream corn.

That’s the same kind of response he elicits (on purpose) from Suzie at lunchtimes.

And, just like that, it all made sense. Kevin knew he was right all along. His reluctance about food was justified.
