Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 31, 1985

absolutely brilliant

nice one

haha.. his crazy! gud job dad!

As long as it works.

a parent’s got to do what a parent’s got to do

lol.. now I know why calvin is so calvin. like father like son

I doubt I would have eaten something like that if my parents had told me that when I was little.

dad’s next line- i think i know what im doing.

This cartoon demonstrates child psychology at it’s peak.

haa

DAD…GENIOUS…WHO KNEW LOL

obnoxiously big SHUT UP HOBBSFRIEND

that was awesome

i would be worried of what calvin would do after that :Ahhhhhhhhh i can feel it working:Calvin

Hey, it’s one way to get him to eat. And it works…

Future reference, capslocks is cruise control for durrrrrrrrrr. Do us a favour and try to write like you at least have more intelligence than a primate. Primates throw feces at each other, and I’m certain you are better than that.

I also like the similar scene from A Christmas Story, where Mother gets Randy to eat by asking him about “little piggies”–and it’s Dad and Ralphie who are grossed out.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA best line ever - “ahhh, i can FEEL it working”

If it works, it works. Just go with it, Mom.

She’ll change her tune.

At least he’s eating…

This is my favorite “dad” strip.

This is my favorite “dad” strip.

gotta love dat reverse psychology

Works

First one to make me laugh to tears!! Had my parents used this strategy with me I wouldn’t have been so skinny before puberty.

And, yet …

Stupid questions yield stupid answers. shrug

Cracker Barrel ???

no other way mom

so gullible

nice job

this reminds me of a strip where they have a soup and calvins mom says the rice are maggots

in an other strip calvins mom does the same and then dad gets mad.

Well, we all remember what it’s like to be a kid and how wild our imaginations were…
