Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 16, 2022

Mom should start buying Cheerios™.

When Calvin’s an adult he can try it with beer.

I’ve eaten cereal with soda before. It was…interesting.

I know the feelng, Calvin. I tried snorting Coke once. Gah…just bubbles up my nose.

“Part of this nutritious breakfast.”

How to go even more cuckoo for cocoa puffs!

The joy before the crash

By the third bowl, not only is he sick, he can’t hold the spoon without the shakes.

I never thought of that! So tomorrow morning, chocolate milk on my bran flakes…

I don’t know who came up with the idea, but as kids we’d get raw oak flakes for breakfast. We’d add cocoa and milk

At my age, (80), that sounds horrible. I don’t like sugar in my milk. Maybe I did when I was a kid. My two young cousins would get a glass of milk and put two or three teaspoons of sugar in it. Ugh!

Old people shouldn’t eat healthy food. They need all the preservatives they can get.

I love a nice bowl of Steel Cut Oats with some chopped walnuts, dried cranberries, a tablespoon of Ovaltine and tablespoon of butter for one serving. I cook it in a small sauce pan.

I remember Cocoa Puffs and Trix back in the day when I could actually taste the corn in the cereal. Now, it’s just friggin’ candy. Also, I remember the commercial for Cookie Crisp cereal: “It’s like having cookies for breakfast!” No, it is having cookies for breakfast!

He forgot to sprinkle a few spoonfuls of sugar over it.

Now, Calvin will have a sugar rush and tear up the house!!

Why does Mom buy that garbage, anyway??

Instead of chocolate milk, try “Yoo-hoo”. If that’s’ not enough flavor, add chocolate syrup and chocolate jimmies! :D

Ick. Hey, we’re not building up to the Beanie story arc, are we? I love that one!

Another reason the second bowl is better is it still has sludge left over from the first.

I loved Sugar Crisp as a kid. I would fill the bowl to the brim with cereal and milk then try to eat the cereal with as little milk as possible so I could refill the bowl. By the fourth helping the milk would be pure sugar.

I’m eating my bran cereal and choked reading this.

The success of excess is in the process not the results.

Oooh! Never thought of that, chocolate milk on corn flakes. Still have 30 seconds before they turn to mush?

Kellogg developed Frosted Flakes to limit the amount of sugar, after watching his 10 year old son put like five teaspoons of sugar on his Corn Flakes.

Yeah, I can see where the bubbles going up the nose would be rough.

Ngl, when I was a kid reading this I wanted to try this so bad.

Cocoa Krispies made the best chocolate milk – the cat loved to lick that bowl clean.

And Mom and Dad wonder why Cal can be a tad difficult to handle at times.

The only thing missing is a doughnut and a soda to wash it all down . /S

This theme should be cerealized!

On the road to diabetes…

I remember as a kid that my friend was friend was adding sugar on top of his Froot Loops.

There was one time I tried eating Cocoa Pebbles with chocolate milk.

.

Note I said “one time”.

The Count once knew a lady who ate Froot Loops and Vodka. No kidding.

Prehaps Calvin is going to be an electrician because he’s already wired….

But has he tried maple syrup, or are some things to discusting for even Calvin to try?

When Calvin and Susie produce their daughter Bacon, Calvin will be a high sugar daddy.

But chocolate cereal like that already turns the milk into chocolate milk anyways! And cereal with cola? Yuckola!

Now With more chocolate marshmallows!

When I was a kid, I went through a phase in which I ate chocolate-filled chocolate cookies along with chocolate milk. My mother was smart enough to let me do it because I eventually got tired of that combination.

OMG… chocolate milk in cereal ??!

Cap’n Crunch is 44.4% sugar.

No wonder we were bouncing off the walls when we were kids!

Why has no one suggested that Calvin improve the chocolate flavor by adding chocolate syrup to his mix? So far, Calvin is on the amateur level; he needs to raise his game.

I used to have Frosted Flakes with chocolate milk. Relatives would get that for my Christmas present. I’m eating much healthier now.

I used to eat two bowls of Cocoa Puffs for breakfast as a kid. By the time I’d finished the second bowl, the milk WAS chocolate so I tipped the bowl and drank it; sort of like dessert. Thank God I never had a subsequent sugar rushhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…

And Mom allows this?

Gack!!

Hobbes IS his conscience speaking!

I think Calvin’s ‘breakfast’ is making me sick.

The law of diminishing returns.
