   Something to brag about.

   Hmmm… A nice steaming bowl of Maggotstroni.

   How can you not like rice, Grasshopper?

   And the really sad thing is that today if a child were to tell the teachers and their classmates that Mom served soup last night that had maggots in it, the mother would be investigated for neglect and abuse until the Child Protective Services found something that they could hang charges upon.

   With a son like Calvin, mom really has to come up with creative meals to spice up his appetite!

    Wow, the little maggot is eating maggots.

11. 

    Carmy said, 2 months ago

    Gosh, the way he’s eating those maggots up, he’ll probably have seconds and thirds.

    Grog said, 2 months ago

    No thanks. I had maggots for lunch. Bring on the chilled monkey brains.

    Who says Mom doesn’t have an imagination?

    Mom is cool. She knows what to call rice to get her little boy to eat it.

    Are those flies buzzing around? Mom never lies.

    The meal of the future will include an assorted selection of lil’ critters: grasshoppers, worms, ants, cockroaches, etc,

    Reverse psychology really works.

    Macushlalondra said, 2 months ago

    LOL! I didn’t think Mom had any imagination. This one’s worthy of Dad! It worked anyway, it got him to eat and it’s hilarious that he fell for it.

    Unfortunately Ken the coffin dweller is probably right. Parents dare not have too much imagination.

    What Dad fails to realize is that Calvin and Mom wish his job required more travel as well. Been there; lived through that.

21. 

    Susan001 said, 2 months ago

    jrbj, I agree with you about Calvin, but I doubt that Mom would want Dad to travel very much.
    After all, one meets pretty women sans kids on business trips!

    Macushlalondra and Ken

    Sad, but the truth.

    Way to go mom!

    Marg !
    If Calvin’s a maggot, eating maggots would that make him a cannibal ?

25. 

    Vigilante de noche said, 2 months ago

    KenTheCoffinDweller couldn’t be more right! And sadly it’s already happened. I have friends in MI. and she put raisins in her kids oatmeal and told the kids they were flies and what happened next it just what you said!

26. 

    rdh288 said, 2 months ago

    Would have been a great one… if the Dad’s line didn’t ruin it.

    medamo said, 2 months ago

    Reminds me of Ralphie’s little brother eating like a piggie. “Mommie’s little piggie. ” crude but effective

    N7326 Foxtrot said, 2 months ago

    hey, medamo, that was one of the funniest movies of all time. Melinda Dillon was GREAT as the mommie of that little twerp!

    Protein infusion. This soup must be carrion and compost chowder.

30. 

    MatureCanadian said, 2 months ago

    Way to go Mom, you finally got it right. Trick the little blighter. Whatever works to get them to eat. I used to serve Ants on a Log. Celery with peanut butter & raisins for an afterschool snack instead of something store bought.

    KentheCoffin Dweller - Sadly, couldn’t agree more.

    Doctor Toon said, 2 months ago

    My son liked a concoction we called puke-in-a-bowl
    A bowl of soup with crushed crackers soaking up most of the moisture.
    Looked like what we called it, tasted OK

32. 

    GretchensMom said, 2 months ago

    I think mom would not appreciate dad having more travel time because of his job … probably not so much for fear that he’d meet another woman but because she wouldn’t want to be stuck raising Calvin all by herself because of it!

    Mmm, mmm, good. perfict addition to the Hot Chocolat flavor boost recomended in the strip BC today

    Dutchboy1 said, 2 months ago

    Funny, she gets all mad when Dad tells Calvin that they got him as a build it yourself kit in a K-Mart Blue-Light special. Hmmmm.

    Coffee-Turtle said, 2 months ago

    scarey he eats his bowl of maggot soup with such vigor! LOL!

    I like the stewed monkey heads with maggots.

37. 

    ratlum said, 2 months ago

    Now I see where Calvin got some of his wild imagination

    “Marg !
    “If Calvin’s a maggot, eating maggots would that make him a cannibal ?”

    Perhaps–if they were the same species. However, lots of species have maggots.

    But this is one of my favorite C&Hs. Right up there with, oh, no more than eleventy-dozen others.

    After I get the,”Ew, What is it?”, then I’ll say,” Well why don’t you try it and see what you think it is?” After they try it then I’ll ask if they like it instead of telling them what it is. Sometimes if you name it they’ll just cover their mouths and say they don’t like that kind of food.

    Sussie would love to have dinner at calvin’s home.

43. 

    jbmetalmonster said, 2 months ago

    considering that susie hates being @ the luch table w/ calvin, she’d probably committ suicide 2 avoid calvins dinner table

    Mom has always been cool !

    Here is the proof, and she never flaunts it.

    “Mom has always been cool !”

    ???????????

    Have you ever read this strip before today? These parents are both painfully dull, self removed, and should never have had a child. Calvin thrives DESPITE them.

    Besides, maggots are high in protein, and rice has none. He’d be better off with real maggots.

    thebird55 said, 2 months ago

    Someone here mentioned this strip in the last few days. Who was it?

47. 

    Nivellios said, 2 months ago

    He’s also had “stewed monkey heads” and”Toxic waste that’ll turn you into a mutant”. And look now! “maggot soup”!

48. 

    Me_Again said, 2 months ago

    I love how Calvin will only eat his dinner when his parents say it is something like “maggot stew”, “toxic waste”, “monkey heads”, “spider pie”, etc.
