Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 25, 2021

Are they playing bouillabaisse-ball?

so much for a free meal when it came to the fish

Fast food cheeseburgers sound yummy…..

I thought Hobbes was a BIG fish eater. ;-}

Pretty sure Calvin has eaten chicken before, and chickens eat worms.

The first two panels seem to come out from Pastis’ PBS.

The only worms we’ll be eating are gummy worms.

Why I never liked fishing.

Is Hobbes seriously dissing tuna?

“Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, I’m going into the back yard to eat some worms!”

“I’m a chicken hawk and I eats chickens !”

EDIBLE, adj. Good to eat, and wholesome to digest, as a worm to a toad, a toad to a snake, a snake to a pig, a pig to a man, and a man to a worm.

— Ambrose Bierce, The Devil’s Dictionary

Hey, who’s to say that cheeseburgers aren’t fish? Yeah, the burgerfish was caught on a line using cheese as bait!!

I certainly never thought of catching fish that way (second panel) before.

You don’t wanna know what they fed those animals that they turned into the burger patties. Seriously, you don’t wanna know.

Have you seen the mess chickens make, I´m glad buffaloes don´t have wings ……oh.

I’ve put worms on hooks, and I’ve never heard one complain, so they must be okay with it.

I wonder where fish get their worms when they aren’t being offered on hooks?

Thanks, Hobbes, you just ruined my appetite for fish.

Fishing arcs are the best for Calvin and Hobbes!

Lady goes into a restaurant and asks what the special is. “Tongue,” says the waiter.

“Ugh,” she says, “I would never eat anything from an animal’s mouth!”

“Fine m’am, how would you like some eggs?”

Frank Burns eats worms.

Really. How can a cold flopping dead fish compare to two all beef patties special sauce lettuce cheese pickles onions on a sesame seed bun?

/If you’re in my age demographic, you’re gonna have an earworm until lunchtime.

Most people do not want to know about how our food is processed. I once asked a commercial butcher “What really goes into hotdogs” He said, “Everything but the Moo.”

Hobbes sounds like my wife. Won’t bait her hook or take off the fish, but loves fishing.

The best part about fishing is sitting in the boat and drinking beer.

Okay…so chicken’s out of the question, then. :D

Actually, playing catch with a fish — ok not a real one but maybe one made out of a squishy flexible rubbery material — sounds like fun!

And then there’s Pike Place Fish Market in Seattle. From the wiki: “Founded in 1930, it is known for its tradition of fishmongers throwing the fish purchased by customers prior to wrapping it.”

pretty much sums up my ideas on fishing

That was when cheeseburgers came in styrofoam. They were terrible for the world, I’m sure. But they were soooo satisfying.

Now I want a White Castle burger.

Hey Floyd..whar ya goin?..“Goin’ fishin’”… Got worms?…. “Yup, goin’ anyways !”

Blah-ugh!

Wanna go catch some Phish?

I guess, thankfully, he doesn’t have access to dynamite sticks? They would work much faster…

Chumming in fresh water is a big no no in Cali. We do chum for Tuna & Stripper off the Coast in Salt Water.

hate fishing, but like eating them….I’m glad for those who like to fish

My sentiments exactly…

Worms eat everything.

bleh… hobbes face :P

Whenever somebody tells me “The early bird gets the worm!” I have two possible replies:

1) “…But the early worm gets eaten”; and

2) “…But who wants worms for breakfast?”

I like fishing and I never use worms. Mostly I use doughballs or hot dog bits.
