Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 05, 2012

You better hope it’s hotter there, Calvin. But don’t forget the butter so it won’t stick.

Don’t forget the bacon!

And who puts the mess away from the sidewalk! Someone could fall and break a leg!

Perhaps because, at one Point, we were/are a six year old?

its only after he realizes how messy it is that he decides to try it on the car

Sure gonna get hot under the collar for the wee lad…

You’re as old as you feel. Nyah, nyah, nyaaaah!

As a fellow despiser of idiomatry, I’d have tried the same experiment as Calvin.

I read quite a number of strips on this site, but I always save this one for last of all. It never fails to get at least a chuckle, and a great deal of the time a true belly laugh. I am then armed against the death, doom, and despair of life,

Thank you Bill Watterson, you were the best when this strip was new, and you STILL are the best!!

I’ve had egg beaters. They’re somewhat lacking in flavor.

I see a mess of trouble in your future, Calvin. But if you’re going to do it, do it right (as others have suggested) and do it with bacon.

not aggs not bacon only vegetable salad…

Another old saying proven wrong. Surely there’s someplace that’s hot enough to fry an egg on.

Physically we continue to age, mentally………………..not so much! Calvin is an exception!

I lived and worked in Death Valley for a number of years. Tourist would try this during the 125 degree summers. It never worked and left a big mess.

I visited Dead Sea in July, 53° C, but I didn’t try frying eggs!

The car dash may as well explode

@demtrug – Curiosity and experimentation are what define us as human beings. I’d be worried about anybody who didn’t want to fry an egg on a hot surface on a hot day.

i predict a great future in [wait for it!] public office!

Body temp, 98.6F = 37.I have a ballpark idea of themetric system, But even after 17= years I still think‘how much is that in REAL measurements?’ Oldhabits die hard! Wonder if immigrants to US & UKfeel the same….

And we’ll be able to fry eggs on Dad’s forehead after that!

I think Bill Watterson is the best too. I can’t remember the year but was so sad when he retired. One reason I love this site is because I can still visit Calvin and Hobbes and Cathy.

Calvin, the mad scientist, makes a mad ‘dash’!

I grew up in Iowa. About every summer some TV news team on a local channel would fry an egg on the sidewalk. In full sun, in the late afternoon, yes you can if the surface is right.

But just think: this particular six-year-old could grow up to be part of Mythbusters: The Next Generation.

LOL LOL!

Calvin & Hobbes never fails to make me giggle.

xxx

Oh boy. I hope they clean the mess up, if the result is the same as the one on the sidewalk.

Mmmm, a little dash in the omelette is tasty!

O it is hotter on the car dash,but if you were my kid and did that,your bum would be so hot.Maybe you could sit on the side walk to cool off.

That’s right! 100°F is 38°C

Sometimes his mother wonders where all the breakfast fixin’s went – no problem – they’re still in the car….

I read this every day. I don’t ever want to grow up.

One of my teachers actually explained why you could’t really fry an egg on the sidewalk. We were all very disappointed.

No, It’ll be hotter on Hobbes’ fur. (He bust be sweltering since it’s Summer.)

One of the great things about reading: you can learn a lot from others’ mistakes. and it’s not nearlyso painful as learning from one’s own!

Depends a lot on luck; i.e., whether she gets caughtor not.

Shhhhhhh

Ummmmm bacon fat…lmao

If I had a kid like Calvin, the car doors would not be left unlocked.

you have a long way to go in school calvin
