Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 31, 2011

The early worm gets the cheeseburger!

I don’t want to sneak up on a cheeseburger. An ordinary burger with mustard, kosher dill & Spanish onion is what I’d love to sneak up on. Can’t stand Kraft singles.

Good morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠

@Dogsniff, in reply to your question yesterday: No, I live in South Africa but my husband has family in the UK and a daughter who lives in Paris.

Isn’t that what normally ends up on a cheeseburger? Well I don’t eat Kraft cheese or Kraft dinner. So there!

I am not able to spear worms, too, and I don’t like fish biteing the hook, poor fish, I prefere cheeseburger, too!

@kreole: you mean “most people in the US”…

Like tuna, Hobbes?

Cheddar cheese at a fast food joint? Whatcha smokin’?I used to order a Big Mac, hold the styrofoam. The last time the police escorted me from the urine arches of McToxix. I hear the nature loving company recalled the styrofoam and burned it. After 35 years I may return to a fast food joint, one of these days.

Their expressions in panel seven crack me up!

yeah, who wants to eat the 3 eyed fish

Sorry about that, it was Dry. I must have been having a senior moment! Twice in one day that I’ve had to apologise to you, Dogsniff.

Those are much easier to catch.

Next to last panel – I’m changing my avatar at other places to use that. Too cool!

Ewwwwwwwww!

Well thanks to you all I now have a massive craving for a hamburger, but a fish sandwich would be perfectly yummy as well.

I like Hobbes so pretty .. couple

I live in Oregon, and we have a fast food place here called Burgerville that only uses fresh local foods including Tillimook cheddar cheese on their burgers. They also feature local fruits and produce fresh each season. A little more expensive, but well worth it. Yum!

Anyone know what happened to Peanuts today? It disappeared from my page.

For some reason, this was one of the first episodes I really envisioned in a “Peanuts”-like animation.

@BJIllistrated:Yes, Yes! Tillimook Extra Sharp!We get that here in SD also. YUM!

Your right Calvin ,there is allot going for fast food in a box.

JoanHelen: When I was a teenager I had a letterpal from South Africa, it’s such a long time ago and I have forgotten, where he came from!

Do any of the people who are squeemish about catching fish know how ground beef is really made? And why it has to be cooked 20° higher than steak?

@ adubman: I remember a rumour years back that the early cheeseburger (mac’s quarter-pounder) was the worm

nothing like throwing around a bass.

Yes, unfortunately we have our fair share of corrupt and power-hungry politicians but I don’t want to get into a political disucssion on this site. We are fighting for freedom of the press at the moment because certain people can’t handle criticism. Do you follow the Zapiro cartoons and Madam and Eve at the Mail & Gaurdian?

The pun in the first 2 panels would have made a great week day strip.

“A Bad Day Fishin’, is much better than a Good Day Workin’….”

+++++I saw a funny cartoon once: two golfers are out golfing in the middle of a pouring rainstorm when they see a car towing a boat on a nearby street, so one golfer says to the other, “Who would be so foolish as go out fishing in this rain?”

Some of the best hamburgers I have ever had were at a place called The Haggis, a bar in downtown Salt Lake City. They also made Huevos Rancheros that were so heavy duty your stomach would make you feel as though it was tossing a cement building block around in there for a while, at least. The meal would keep you going until evening, no problema, hombres….
