Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 28, 2011

Worms! YUK!

I share your feelings, Calvin – YUK!

Best worm of the world!

you can scare away Susie during lunch!!

Mom had to pry me out of bed on school mornings, but on Saturday mornings, I was up before she was. I always thought a worm was a worm…..but not on Saturdays, I guess.

calvin is now not going to come out of bed.

My sediments exactly when I was Calvin’s age.

Really? I sort of thought he was dreaming of smooching Susie. Or eating a huge marshmallow.

The second mouse gets the cheese. ZZZZZZZZZZ

The difference between Worms on weekdays and Worms on weekends is that on weekdays Worms mean Biology classes, disection, reports…… and on weekends Worms mean Fishing, fresh air, laying around in the sun…… Calvin is right :)

Worms are not one of my favorite things…yuk!

How about not missing the bus to school? No, that’s no incentive for you either.

Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠.

The second mouse gets the cheese!

The early worm gets eaten!

’Morning all

like he would want one!

I can’t say a bout Lazy … you are Pretty boy o.kay

It is just me or does he look like he’s kissing his pillow in that second panel? :P

The thing is that the early bird really DOES get the worm. You just have to pick your own worm.

Awwwwwwww, Feel so sorry for him!

Believe me, I know what it feels like.

xxx

It good being higher up the food chain than birds then.

That’s reassuring, now I have to worry about wormy birds.

“Rise and shine, Calvin!”Your shoes need polishing!

“The early bird gets the worm”-And the early worm gets to be bird breakfast! Considering Calvin is the worm and Moe is the bird, I’d suggest sleeping in a bit longer!!

Blech! who would want WoRmS?

@Dogsniff,The third line of the eye chart is not MFGPBTHBBPT; it’s D,L,T,Z,C, but that’s close enough! Go on to the next line!

@hippogriff (from yesterday),Your comment was cornea than mine. It wasn’t vitreous humor, or vitriolic humor, either. In fact, it lens to a chuckle or two. Iris everyone was an apt pupil of puns as you are.BTW, we’re still in context with the comic today, since Calvin is reading an eye chart in his dream.

Mom was fishing for a response from Calvin, but he isn’t taking the bait!

@JazzyBella= Hope your surgery and prognosis is as successful as mine. Good luck.

That’s me in the morning…I think I’ve even used the phrase, “MFGPBTHBBPT,” before too!

How to eat fried worms! :P

HA! Classic.

so begins a lifetime of forced servitude to The Man. Stay in bed Calvin! Revolt!

One of my favorite quotes: “The saying the early bird gets the worm simply means the worm should have stayed in bed!”

i guess you had to try, mom.

The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese!

Does “MFGPBTHBBPT" stand for something? Like “Mom Forget Getting POd Boys The Heck outta Bed Before Play Time.”

Mealworms, perhaps.

I’m reminded of Jimmy Stewart’s ice fishing joke on the Johnny Carson Tonight show. “You gotta keep the worms warm!” Absolutely the funniest joke I’ve ever heard, but only because of the way Stewart told it.

But what if they were chocolate sugar frosted worms?

That never got me jumping out of bed either.

And a second favorite quote “Waking a person unecessarily should not be considered a capital crime…..for a first offence, that is.”

“Everybody hates me; nobody likes me“Think I’ll go eat worms. . . .”

worms are disgusting. i cant even look at them.

Oh yeah!

She can make him rise . . . but she can’t make him shine!!!!!

My old grandpaw used to say, “The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese, and who even wants an old worm anyhow? I like cheese.”
