Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 12, 2019

I’m just happy that Calvin included the nutrition part.

Isn’t that considered…how do I say this?…a dirty way to eat ice cream, if you know what I mean?

Hey everyone, Brevity just made a truly terrible Calvin and Hobbes pun.

During Hawaii summers, the fun is in trying to finish it before it melts.

Hobbes and his “Mandibles of Death” … ?

Did Watterson ever do that ice-cream-cone-eating technique when he was a kid?

As a tiger, Hobbes approves of this philosophy.

Nutrition and entertainment – like a hot dog eating contest? Or maybe just pistachios.

I know you can surprise a tuna fish sandwich, but I’ve never seen one run. Too much mayonnaise, perhaps?

But Hobbes, surprised and running is entertaining.

Exactly what and how much nutrition there is in ice cream is a different thing, though.

Many years ago I took a group of five and four-year-olds on a Christmas outing to see the festive windows and the festive lights. Johannesburg use to have a fabulous display in December for the small children. I treated them all to an ice-cream cone. One by one they all bit off the ends of the cone. Here in South Africa, December is mid-summer and it was a scorching hot day. :) There was no way I could do a rescue operation on six or seven ice-cream cones simultaneously. I had a few tissues and whizzed around mopping up the sticky liquid but it was a losing battle. :) The little boys thought it was a huge joke and the little girls kept offering wise advice. :) Afterwards I took them to the nearest rest-room, endeavouring to keep their sticky hands off the lift buttons, etc.

Good food is sloppy food. If you don’t go through at least a half dozen napkins, it ain’t good. Ribs especially – we break out the wash cloths for those.

Hey Hobbes, let’s see if Calvin looks surprised and starts running.

Enjoying fine food is an event to be experienced on many levels.

I’m with you, Hobbes. And my two cats agree – but they only eat the rabbits. They gift me with all the other sub-standard food they “play” with.

Amen, brother!

Antelopes are considered “fast food” in Africa.

If you’re not enjoying your food, you’re doing something wrong.

George Carlin had a name for the sound - “pu__y fart.”

I prefer my sexual encounters just like Hobbes.Surprised and running.

So for Hobbes, it’s win-win-win…nutrition, entertainment, and exercise!

I think a tuna fish would be very surprised to see Hobbes chasing after them.

And also why tigers don’t eat ice cream cones.

Do you remember when getting sticky all over yourself and your clothes was fun? Being grown up sure does have some disadvantages!

Fear spoils the meat

Hobbes ROCKS!

What’s the fun when the eating is mere etiquette?
