Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 22, 2023

The sound department strikes again…..

Carbonates drinks might help.

Today, more people think of burping as a competition.

Maybe the winds need to be heavier.

Calvin could play in completive belching.

Oh! haha! look at this i just found! https://i.redd dot it/n01845cjyg7b1.jpg

Switch to eating lotsa beans and you might get tons of sponsor money from TUMS and Rolaids to be on the Olympic farting team. Win(d) the gold and you may end up with plenty of promo spots on TV, radio, and other media. It’ll be a gas!

With enough practice, Calvin could qualify for the Belching Olympics!

Dedication is the key.

Wait until he gets to the exciting part where he throws up in his mouth a little bit. Havin’ some fun now, boy howdy.

It’s amazing how dedicated he can be when it’s something he likes to do!

I would much prefer reading a Calvinball log.

Calvin could try raw green peppers, always works for me.

That’s Calvin’s BRRRAAAAPPPPP sheet!

The Calvin Ball journal would be something to read.

I’d like to see Calvinball make it on ESPN 8 one time.

Work on holding in those burps Calvin. Letting them all out together.

Belching isn’t a sport.

Calvin is a true student of the sport.

Do you even know what those words mean, Calvin?

I’ll leave belching to the experts…like voice actor Maurice LaMarche (you’ll need to Google who he is), who is the go-to guy for stunt burping. If you’ve seen the Will Ferrel movie “Elf”, the long resonating burp from Buddy is actually Maurice. Or on the 90’s Animaniacs, The Great Wakkorotti, for example.

To get your AA? Say Madagascar in belch-ese.

For your BA, limericks will do.

Post-graduate studies involve complete Shakespearean passages.

“Amplitude”, “mellowness”, “harmonics”…are we discussing belches or humbuckers?

I think that most people keep a private diary with the intention of letting someone read it someday. I could, of course, be very wrong, but it’s just a feeling I have, since the only diaries I am familiar with are the ones someone has published or quoted or outherwise told me about.

Next at Olympics: Competitive Belching. Then Transgender Competitive Belchers will ruin it for everyone.

I suppose it’s better than the other method of expelling gastrointestinal gases.

Has our hero updated his gum chewing journal?

Calvin knows the word ‘amplitude.’ I’m impressed.

When I became a lumberjack, I kept a log.

“Low volume, no essence noted.”

He will have to belch the star spangled banner just to get into the competition, but it will build his character

He should read up on the related injuries. Humans do not have spare stomachs.

Perhaps Calvin could take some tips from The Great Wakkaroti (You’ve been warned!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ma16ZJr1Sc

LOL… Calvin will be a “Pro-Belcher” when old enough to drink beer. LOL…

I worked with a guy who was into carbonated drink aided belching. He would ride around on the fork lift swilling from a Pepsi and emitting 90 dB plus burps. Blue collar work had its light side.

Yep, Calvin does want to be alone, just like I said last week.

At first I read “when you make up a..” Oh yeah!

Are those … Haikus?

yeah, Calvin, hang in there
