Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 07, 2023

I’m surprised your brain has anything at all, considering you’re active imagination, Calvin.

Normal, Cal — that’s why you have a “snot trough” right below your nose.

Calvin’s version of brain drain.

You don’t want that sucker seizing up on you!

…along with some of his neurones.

Better top it up before the whole thing seizes

Watch out for zombies. They would love brain lubricant.

Explains a lot……….

Actually, that’s a thing. I once read about a case where there was a hole in the guy’s sinuses that was allowing cerebral fluid to drain into his nasal cavity (yewww!). Once it was discovered he had surgery to close the hole.

Nice one Calvin.

As an old British repair manual advised, leaks are advantageous because it proves the lubrication. When it stops leaking is when you should worry.

You just proved yourself a booger-brain, Calvin.

There’s a close connection between the nasal cavity and the brain. That’s how “brain-eating amoebas” are able to enter the brain… through the nose. And there are cases of leaking cerebral fluid through the nose.

Quick, put the snot back in before is sneezes up!

Better go to a brain mechanic, Calvin!

Save it for Susie…

S’not really, Calvin.

What brain????

You may think that’s funny, but it’s not.

Uh oooh! Is someone catching a bug?

Now it’ll start squeaking.

Now . . . what’s word will best describe this one? . . . oh yeah – YICK!

A brain floating in snot? Iccch!

I hope he doesn’t reach for that can of WD-40

Used to ask students why they said “Gesundheit” when someone sneezed and never got a good answer until one student stood up and started singing “Tradition!” from Fiddler on the Roof. (he got extra credit)

LOL… Calvin can be very entertaining at times.

It`s not.

And that is where the term “booger-head” came from.

EW! Where has Hobbes been?

Better check your blinker fluid level while you’re at it, Calvin.

That’s a slippery thought,

Wonder if spring time on that strip?

It could be some electrolyte from his brain battery. Let’s see if he slows down or his imagination gets weaker.

sounds to me like normal aging

I have a strong suspicion that mucous membranes are the most active organs in a human. At least in the spring. And summer. Also fall and winter (for me) <achoo!>

So that’s what it is! Gosh, and I’ve been wondering for all these yemcakԔЩѪѯzrӂᶘꝢ

This cold season has caused me to leak a lot of lubricant.

Your brain lubricant keeps our brains amused. Don’t let colds and cough waste it, fella.

Going through medical school and this takes a whole new meaning having learned about cerebral spinal fluid and intracranial haemorrhages.

we all have that brain problem for sure
