Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 20, 2018

Sauté them in butter with onions.

It depends on who is holding the book.

When I was a kid, I was annoyed that we never actually saw the caterpillar and had to take the characters’ word for it.

Nowadays, I think that makes it funnier.

Give it a try Calvin. Who knows? Maybe you’ll burp up a butterfly afterwards.

Like Hobbes can write a better book.

Don’t they have tuna fish sandwiches in the wild?

Ok, prove it, Hobbes. Go ahead, eat the caterpillar. Hobbes??

Whether or not you’re a real tiger Hobbes, the jury is still out…

Some larva are in fact good to eat, even raw & living, although it’s perhaps an acquired taste. OTOH, Calvin had better hope that spiky caterpillar isn’t a saddleback or a puss caterpillar or some such.

where’s the bottle of ketchup

Did Watterson have an older brother, I wonder?

In this case, I’ll take the writer, thank you!

Tiger prefer to eat cheeky little boys!!

Or would you believe a real writer or a silly tiger?

Even Tony the Tiger couldn’t sell me on that.

The reality of what tigers eat and how they catch and dispatch their prey might not be any more appealing to him.

“They’re great.”

I see Hobbes is channelling Tony the Tiger.

I thought they ate tunafish sandwiches.

Foreshadowing of Fake News vs the current POTUS

So, you’re a real tiger, are you?

Well, I guess you wouldn’t mind munchin’ down a few caterpillars, would you? In fact…we want to see you CHUG ’em!

Calvin suspects he is being snookered. LOL

Caterpillars are best served stirred but not shakened.

Hobbes, I’m gonna believe the book, you’re full of stuffing!

Who is this “silly writer”?

Calvin has a sick mind!

Caterpillars for Calvin. Tuna fish sandwiches for Hobbes.
