Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 22, 2023

It won’t stop Mom from making you eat salad.

It’s not a cow impression without a loud “MOO!”

That’s how I’d eat avocado toast… except for a lot more spitting and heaving. Avocado’s Number is not number one in my book. I’d rather eat a mole.

Or a good impression of elementary school age kids chewing gum.

Double bonus — you get to eat your salad once, then chew it again as cud!

Then he should chew his cud at the dinner table.

For a bit of entertainment, there’s a guy on YouTube who burps in front of cows. Apparently, the sounds attracts them to him. Just funny to watch!

Now to work on the methane production…

But what if Calvin says Moo and Mom hears More

The faces that Mr. Watterson put on Calvin throughout the comic’s run were priceless. I have to think that at times, he must have just drawn a boatload of them and saved them for potential future use. How would you organize such a collection? Could you organize such a collection?

He’s going to be popular at the table……….

Yeah, Calvin’s definitely on my list of people I’d prefer to skip having dinner with. :-)

Attractive!

Cud this get any funnier?

Maybe he can burp them up from one of his four stomachs and chew them again. That would be cool!

Your girlfriend will love it on your first date!

Now Calvin needs to swat flies with his tail.

That’s Cal – always trying . . . very

And then the next step will be in learning how to produce milk…

The secret to eating a salad … Bacon Bits!

Hides the taste of the green stuff.

Me too. I’ll bet I can get away with it.

Not sure that Mom would appreciate that. But maybe that’s the objective.

You know, that might just make salads more fun.

Just as long as you don’t chew your cud after.

Environmentalists are protesting all that methane gas he’s producing now

Calvin is milking this for all it’s worth.

Calvin needs to go to Chattanooga. You know, the Chew Chew.

Pretty good, but needs more cowbell.

LOL… some raw broccoli on top of the salad would be good too ;-)

No matter what humor is about I have always loved the facial expressions that Bill Watterson draws on Calvin. The drawings are funny in their own right.

Don’t forget to throw in some moos.

I don’t believe another cartoonist could have drawn Calvin any better in this strip. Well done!

I can’t explain it, but this made me chuckle.

No you won’t Calvin; Mom will put a stop to it, right quick!

That way the gut bacteria will have enough time to grow in numbers to take care of the cellulose, fella.
