Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 23, 2011

Sugar Bombs Away!!!!

Is this the 1st appearance of ‘Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs’?

My favorite cereal! Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs with extra sugar! Keeps me wound up all day!

I like the third panel, Hobbes opening his mouth so wide, it’s funny!

Marg: What a remark!

You think that’s bad, I have a friend who puts salt on potato chips.

Frosted…………Sugar…… Bomb ……Alway Not good for Kids Some time you Can My C&H O.kay…

Have some cereal with your sugar, Calvin.

Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠

Hmph! When I was a kid (Oh no, not again) we didn’t have no new fang-led sugar bomb. Nope, Ma believed in diet and exercise. Plenty of exercise lifting that tablespoon between the sugar bowl and cereal bowl and repeat.

Today? I thought that was his natural state.

hahaha, I’ve always loved that he eats that cereal! (sure his parents haven’t loved it quite as much though!)

The makers of CFSB’s should heed this consumer feedback and fortify their cereal with sugar glazed CFSB’s.

I used to love them when I was a kid, Cocoa Puffs were awesome. All the good old cereals aren’t the same, Froot Loops, cocoa puffs, Alpha Bits are all bland as hell.

I laugh…and then, I remember…when a childhood friend of mine used to put 6 or 7 spoons of sugar on his Sugar Frosted Flakes because “I can’t taste the sugar”…lol

Yes, but Mikey like it?

If you want a shock, take a look at the prices of those sugary cereals in the stores.

IT’S TIME FOR A SUGAR HIGH!

Time to put the sugar bowl in a Calvin-proof cabinet! (Which I believe would be in the vault at the bank…)

@Dogsniff,Tsk! Tsk! Apparently you were high on “Sugar Bombs”, but this is not that kind of strip!

The cereal is so sweet that Hobbes is out of control. He appears to be choking himself with both hands!

@hariseldon59,Putting salt on potato chips is akin to adding extra butter on Movie Theater Popcorn!

@SUSAN NEWMAN,Yesterday Calvin was tired, and Dad might have been fired. Today Calvin is wired, and Dad might be hired.And I am mired, in poetic punnery.

@batterie61,Would that hell were bland. Unfortunately, it’s torment!

They’re the BOMB in sugar bombs.

He’ll Be jumping off the ceiling shortly..

I was the only one in our extended family that drank coffee with sugar (some did use cream). Fond memories of the holiday gatherings when dad would grip and complain about having to find the sugar bowl in the back of the cabinet for me. Usually, I had to scrape the sugar to get a spoon full as it had hardened from being stored so long. Today I use honey rather than granulated sugar. He would joke with mom about me maybe not being one of his. SWEET memory for sure.

“Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs” … LOVE the name of that cereal!

About this time, IIRC, the big cereal makers began to move away from overly-excessively sweet cereals (some well over 50% sugar) to merely excessively sweet cereals. And renaming them—remember Sugar Pops, or Sugar Smacks?++++++++Coincidence? Perhaps. . . .

what happens If Hobbes gets hooked on sugar bombs too?

Marg: Amy Winehouse has died! We have a painter, P. Sengel. He took her very often as his model. He has an odd way to paint, but very interesting!

Marg: The name of the painter is Peter Sengl.

Yep, this strip was the debut of “Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs”. I never could stand real sweet stuff like that. I remember one time mom grabbing the frosted version of toasted oats by mistake. Much too sweet, I couldn’t eat them without rinsing the frosting off in a colander first.

Additional sugar added to something already called “Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs”?!?! No wonder Calvin always seems to be bouncing off the walls and ceiling . . . not to mention the short attention span he has while in school!

my friend eats fish with ketchup!

He might eat three bowls of this a day

When I was a kid I put sugar on my Frosted Flakes. Now, the “one third less” version is almost too sweet. I thought I was avoiding excess sugar by eating a plain shredded wheat type cereal by Kashi, until I looked at the label. It’s really good, though. Hmmm….9 grams of sugar in my Honey Nut Cheerios.

In order to maximize your cereal, eat it with condensed milk. If THAT comes in chocolate, so much the better. Afterwards, instead of breaking windows with baseballs, Spiff the Spaceman will be flying out of them. His mother’s reaction should be interesting, to say the least….

Honey Nut Cheerios are fine for me. None of that nasty corn syrup stuff. Bleargh! :P sooooo unhealthy

….and 34 grams sugar in that ‘healthy’ yogurt – Calvin’s not even close

Reminds me of the time that Linus was eating sugar lumps with honey on them!

59! I wonder what the record is for comments on a single strip on a single day.

Back in the day when I was Calvins’s age, I didn’t (and still don’t) like chocolate as a flavor. Howver when I eat cereals like Captain Crunch, they’ve got way to much sugar even now for my liking – and I drink about 5 Pepsis a day ( more for the caffeine).

That’s enough sugar and caffeine to make you Groggy. :o)

Where are Banting and Best when you need them?

In response to Marg, I’m positive this was the first appearance of the cereal, but in it’s second appearance, I think it was called ‘’Crunchy Sugar Bombs’‘, but Bill got rid of that and stuck with ’’Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs.’’

The non-chocolate-frosted version of Sugar Bombs can be found in Fallout 3…

…tragedy strikes Calvin later in life as he has his 10,000th life time bowl of CFSBs and it sends his 30-year old body into a diabetic coma…

Try the deep fried lard and sugar balls!
