   This is what Nuclear Coffee and CocoMocha were invented for: as anti-viral agents of last resort.

    See, Mom really does care! (Despite all the notes home from Wormwood, and the bathtime struggles, etc.) Thanks to all the mothers out there this season ;-)

    Two sure signs Calvin is sick: he becomes monosyllabic and doesn’t stop faking when told today is Saturday. Aw.

    @ Bandz - thanks for yesterday’s joke. I am going to use it in our church newsletter.

    really funny, poor calvin, feelin really sad him. Mom is good after all those struggles. But she should really have understood on the first say.

    Instead of swine flu it is tiger flu. Hobbs may be responsible for a whole new epidemic. As bad as they mishandled swine flu, the government will probably undergo a complete breakdown with tiger flu.

    Yes, Mom does care. Even my own Mom put a little more urgency in her step when I was sick on weekends.

    Moms do care… . .if it fits THEIR agenda.

    Did doctors make house calls then?

    Calvin doesn’t care that he is sick on Saturday, the end is near!!!!!

    Are any doctors available on Saturday? Or is she running to make an appointment with the psychiatrist? Calvin may need psychiatic help!

    Can’t fake that sickness.

    nothing worse than being sick on a weekend, or worse yet, over holiday break

    I have a feeling that Hobbes is about to take a “spin” in the washing machine, once Calvin is past his illness…

    Calvin may not die, for C&H would end than!

    Considering the randomness of replayed strips/series of strips, I think it is kind of weird/cool that it is Saturday in real life AND in the strip today… :)

26. 

    Grog said, 3 months ago

    I don’t think the strips are that random. True, they are not synchronized with our current holidays, but I think they do follow the Monday-Saturday patern because if there is a weekly series it will finish on Saturday and if there is to be a new series, it will start on Monday. At least, I think that’s the patern.

    The Sunday strip anchors the pattern to a matching day-by-day pattern, although not into a matching seasonal pattern.

    Susan001, you must have noticed the rotary-dial phone too. I wonder if the doctor had an alphabetic exchange/prefix: OXford 6-7721.

    “And now, the end is near
    And so I face the final curtain…”

    This time Mom moves with dispatch, after delaying twice last night. That’s more like it!
    This might be one of those times when an immediate response is necessary to save a life.

    I love her face in the last panel!

    Josh said, 3 months ago

    i believe this strip was not originally on a Saturday, so his mom was checking to see if he was really sick. The proof is A-he didn’t stop faking when he heard that, and/or B-He didn’t know it was a weekday.

    Call an ambulance!

    JP Steve said, 3 months ago

    Well, this sequence started the day after a Sunday strip and ran for six days – I’d say this was originally a Saturday strip!

    Usually you don’t call Dr.’s for a sick child.
    
    When mine was small our son in diapers was really sick with fever and Dr. put him in hospital. After those days in hospital my son would never go back into a hospital room evan when I had his little sister. Their both adults now.

    oh no,calvin’s going to the doctor,look out office, the terror will be arriving,even sick i’ll bet he raises trouble.

    I think mom could have realized he probably wasn’t faking it when he puked all over the place.
