    y mom was awesome about lunches. We got a variety of sandwiches, including baloney, ham, meatloaf, cheese, cream cheese and black olives, and yeah, the occasional PB&J (or better yet: PB& honey). Not only that, she knew which of the 6 kids wanted pickle, mayo, ketchup, mustard and in what proportions (and who wanted creamy or crunchy PB). No tomato: The bread would have turned truly awful.

    AND a piece of one of the three standard fruits. AND 2 cookies wrapped in a napkin. AND enough small change to afford two half-pints of milk. And all before 8:30 am so we could catch the bus. Or 7:30 for the band kids.

    Be thankful for what you have. Be thankful for what you get.

    Be thankful in all things.

    The kid’s happy with what he has; it might have been a request.

    I knew one kid who bought his lunch for six years. Every day it was tomato soup and grilled cheese. Six other options that varied every day on a two week cycle… ts&gc. ts&gc. ts&gc. … more than a thousand times.

    You can change the jelly flavour for variety if you want.

    Just try to bring a PB&J to school nowadays, you’d be lucky to get through the door!

    I brought a bag lunch to high school. We were taught to make our own and my mother encouraged us to bring back the bag if it was still intact. She was a recycling visionary or had lived through the depression, or both.

    I worked summers in college at a steel mill and one kid brought a bagged lunch. We worked outside and brought our lunches with us. When he went to eat, there was a hole in his bag and a BIG bite out of his apple. Those rats were HYOOGE. The regulars laughed and showed him their lunch pails.

    Canned tuna used to be cheap, so I got tuna fish sandwiches every day, 1st through 8th grade. The high school had a cafeteria. The food wasn’t great, but I never complained.When I got married I told my wife that a tuna fish sandwich would be grounds for divorce.

    I’m surprised they allow the PB in school. Many don’t anymore due to allergies. Then again, this is comics Michigan.

    For years I lived on tuna sandwiches with tomato, a piece of fruit and three cookies for lunch. That was my routine and I didn’t want it disrupted.

    Meanwhile, Calvin is feeding leftover monkey brains and mouse legs to Hobbes.

    Before my dad retired, he brought a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch every day and ate it while he went for a walk.

    Every morning, I make my six year old daughter’s lunch for school. Every morning, I ask her what she wants, and every morning her answer is one of two things: Baloney sandwich with “mixed up cheese” (Colby jack) or a VERY specific Oscar Meyer Lunchable. I’ve bought different types of lunchable, offered her turkey, ham, roast beef, cheddar, swiss… nope. She is a child of habit – as most kids are.

    Should be jam, not jelly. And hopefully a good peanut butter (just peanuts and a little salt).

    Maybe this kid has been spending too much time with the pretentious Calvin-Head? She doesn’t know that some kids are lucky to get half that much food for their school lunches? (crickets) Yeah, this is why I read this once every three weeks at best. Sorry, “Jef”. But you really should stop being such a misanthropist. (You’re missing an "f " by the way.)

    Whatever this strip is, it is certainly NOT a primer on proper kids’ behavior.
