    mmmmm…slugs….

    I wonder if in addition to getting shriveled they get nice and crispy when salted properly, Calvin?

    I’m vaguely dissapointed. This comic seems to stop part way through

    I’d move my seat if I were Susie. Unless I was on a diet. He just killed my appetite again.

    Poor ol’ Susie…she carries a torch for Calvin, and will always attempt small kindnesses, like passing the salt.

    They have salt in school??? if so so not fair, we have to deal with the uneddable and sesonless food they feed us at school. thank God this is my last year.

    I used to love escargot until one time I ordered it in a restaurant and it was served not cooked. Believe me, it tasted exactly how I would have imagined a slug to taste. Blech!

    I still think the “bug butter” was better than the slugs, tho slugs are pretty good too. Go, Susie!

    Well, wildmustang1262, i doubt you eat slug sandwiches! The salt probably adds flavor and some texture to the slugs. Sheesh!

    Calvin sure knows how to push Susies button. I think they are perfect for each other, opposites attract.

    Um, salt makes slugs and snails shrivel up. Has nothing to do with the flavor, but with the texture.

    FYI, you don’t really think Calvin has slugs on his sandwich, do you? Making Susie lose her appetite is his clever way of getting hold of her lunch – a running gag, so to speak.
