Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 19, 2014

Shut up and take the fifth.

Calvin you are just digging deeper and deeper…and falling into your own hole… ;)

Is this our first hint that “the noodle incident” may have taken place at SCHOOL?

Wait until you come to it before you jump off the bridge, Calvin.

Sounds like he put worms in somebody’s noodle.

The wicked flee where no man persueth, Calvin.

I tripped myself up like that when the questions started from my Dad one evening and I jumped right in feet first by denying something before it was even broached in conversation. Yep, sometimes guilt is a heavy burden, especially when you are young and wrong!

Old adage: When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging!

There’s nothing like a guilty, panicky six year old…

Ahh the famous noodle incident

“No mom, I said I like poodles, not noodles.”

Way to go poker face!

@ebsan: For many years, I’ve kept track of my favorite comic strips by recording their dates in a database, along with some key words relating to each strip. When I read the Calvin and Hobbes strip for the day, I’m usually reminded of one or more strips from the past, so I look up the dates, locate them on GoComics, and link to them in my posting. But I also search my database for key words, and I generally discover some strips that I had forgotten about, so I post some of those as well. I avoid posting any Calvin and Hobbes strips that will be coming up in the next couple of years, in order not to create “spoilers.” Besides, I haven’t yet read every Calvin and Hobbes strip, because I am still saving some of them to read for the very first time.

More like the infamous noodle incident.

And so the mystery… and mystique, of the “incident” continues – without verifiable truth.

Noodle incident? The tabloids are slavering.

When you find yourself in a hole… Keep digging until you reach China.

Here you go, Calvin. You may need this later…

@neverenoughgold, just don’t give him any rope.

Calvin and his pet tiger Hobbes are enjoying a delicious lunch of noodles when Calvin’s mom interrupts to let Calvin know that Calvin’s Uncle Max is on the phone.

The first official mention of the “Noodle Incident”.

Per yesterday’s exasperation:*You know, I’d feel sorry for Calvin’s folks except:1) It’s obvious his dad was just like him as a kid.2) His mom is a drama queen as well.*Sorry, Mom & Dad, you deserve your son!

We may never know what the noodle incident was about, but “noodle” is such a funny word that you can get some mileage out of it by using it every now and then.

Nefarious naysayer nixes news on notorious noodle nastiness.

The suspicion is growing.As well as the suspence.xxx

I said “doodle”. I was day dreaming during math once…uh, ya. Ya that’s right…doodle! (whew! dodged THAT bullet!)

The excuses used often indicate where the guilt lies.

I just read this storyline at school. Kind of ironic.

@whaleman: It’s really hard to dig straight down over a long distance without gradually veering off at an angle, so it’s very possible that you could end up in China anyway.

Open mouth, change feet.

Keep on digging, that hole deeper, you’re already in Calvin

Next time think before you say anything.

So at least we know the “noodle incident” happened at school.
