Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 13, 2015

Yes, Calvin, your Mother is taking the toaster’s side against you.

Calvin, future lawyer.

The toaster needs to be taught a lesson.

It’s astonishing wherever malice aforethought is in?!

I thought most toasters popped up the bread automatically.

Calvin is more burned up about it than the toast is!

Calvin hasn’t realised yet that for some unfathomable reason, most toasters come with 6 settings; 1 warms the bread, 2 makes pale gold toast, 3 makes dark toast and 4-6 make charcoal.

Figuring that Calvin might get some of his vocabulary from his Dad, I’m struggling to imagine where in a Patent Attorney’s practice this might come up..Deliberate patent infringement I suppose. Still, it’s hard to imagine Calvin’s Dad making heated arguments in court.

let there be revenge!

Yes, the toaster chose Calvins toast to be burned. It was a toaster plot.

My toaster reportedly has a “bread brain”. Hard to tell what use it is.

Knowing Calvin, Hobbes will fix the toaster… with a hammer.

that toast must be offended

Malice Aforethought, wasn’t that a movie with Paul Newman and Sally Field? Wait what? Oh, nevermind.

There are 3 kinds of toaster. One believes it can tell the color by monitoring the temperature of the bread and opens it at that temperature. White and warm to burnt black is just a few degrees and the temperature change is sudden. One is a basic timer. Some just have a heating element and don’t care if you watch it or not.

Two words, Calvin – melted butter…

Malice doesn’t live here anymore…

I absolutely love burnt toast. But I love toast even when it’s not burned.

I don’t think I could live without it.

Malice In Wonderbreadland…

The immortal Wilford Brimley! He was great in that one.

Every day of your life!

Watch the toaster and don’t go against it.

In my experience, most toasters are pretty benign—they only really burn toast when they are getting old and don’t work so well anymore.

.

It’s the computers that are really malicious.

That’s right Calvin appliances have it in for us, they are demons incarnate!

Que Dieu bénisse nos amis et nos voisins français comme ils travaillent leur chemin à travers la tragédie qui se déroule à Paris…

The entire universe is here for nothing more than your personal inconveince!
