Dogsniff: Get well soon. Was wondering where you had been the past few days. Things aren’t the same here without you. Somebody named Catsnort offered to fill in for you, but it just isn’t the same thing at all.Johnny: Thanks for letting us know.
As many have asked: how is it that the ferocious tiger becomes a meek kitten at exactly the wrong times?(Cartoon Physics, or Biology, is all I can figure…)
I tried to add a comment to yesterdays cartoon and got nowhere today, so here ‘tis: if you want to really make’em taste good, put mayo on any of the bitter vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, or brussels sprouts….try, you’ll see!
Re the above comment: that was my 2-yr old granddaughter giving her relevant thoughts on today’s strip: Loosely translated (for those of you who can’t read two-ese): “God keeps the monsters away…with help from Dada and Popop.”
Calvin should try doing what I did when I was his age and afraid of the dark, monsters under the bed, etc.: I slept with a small nightlight on. It provided enough light to “scare away” the monsters but it wasn’t so bright that it kept me awake at night. Worked like a charm until I became old enough to NOT be afraid of the dark anymore!

Read the first three frames with the current political climate in mind and it still makes sense. Maybe it’s the mattress tag police under there.

I still think Calvin needs to give the monsters a High Five. In the face. With a baseball bat.

TIGER, tiger, burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand dare seize the fire?

Hope your recovery goes well, Dogsniff. Like someone said, Catsnort tries, but it just isn’t the same.
