Ah, the noodles incident. Brings back memories of the time I tried to warm up leftover pasta in the oven. I used a plastic bowl because I was 6 or 7 and didn’t understand that solids can turn into liquids yet. Good times.

Calvin your reputation preceeds you and it’s because of that reputation that all the fingers will point your way. That and I think Hobbes will spill it for a tuna fish sandwich.

You can’t put those big “envelopes” in Postal boxes anymore.

Ok, so he might get away with the “noodle incident”; but, there might be just one more “incident”, don’t ya think?

“… but I’d give my eye teeth to know what happened.”*M2M -*It was a dark and stormy night. Mom and Dad were fast asleep with dreams of sugarplums dancing in their heads. *Calvin goes to fridge. Sees leftover strings of cooked spaghetti in a bowl. He takes bowl to mom’s side of bed, nudges her, and says “My stomach feels funny.” He puts her hand in the bowl.*Keep your eye teeth. Send a gift card for Starbucks.

I always wondered what exactly could be on a list that long. When I was a kid I couldn’t even think of enough things I wanted to own to fill a single page with my handwriting.

This definitely a “Yeah, but” moment!

The Noodle Incident seems to have been re-incarnated by Wiley in Non Sequitur this past summer.

If Watterson ever wants to do a C&H book, “The Noodle Incident” would make a good title.

Calvin’s Christmas list on Dec. 3, 1989 would’ve needed a box. This was clear when he showed it to his Dad. Maybe in 1989, Calvin mailed as much of his list as he could with a big envelope, and he saved the rest for this year, plus several add-ons for this year.
