Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 04, 2022

Our hero.

Never before will I eat that……

Does Mom make food any other color than puke green?

Does Mom exchange recipes with Andy?

Images displayed are after effects of his meds!!!

Even heroes have their breaking points.

Try if, you may like it! If you don’t, it’ll build character! ;D

Watterson would make a good science fiction writer.

Exploring to final frontiers does have its limit. The stomach being one of them.

Make like a Klingon and eat the gagh

Beware of anything green, legs or not.

Ahhhh…. steamed okra!

To boldly eat what no kid has eaten…before.

To a kid’s eyes, any food that is green is to be treated with great caution and at one’s own risk.

Calvin always healthy. I do think his mom is poisoning him. But kiddos can be picky eaters.

Meatloaf! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X_ViIPA-Gc

“Wild Adventure” surely describes fried kale.

Yup, it seems to me that everyone I know wants to have an adventure but doesn’t want any adventures thrust upon them. “To boldly go”, when I’m dam good and ready.

Thai curry.

His mom’s meals are made by Andy Fox.

Had okra once… same colour too. Never again.

I’ve seen rancid Purple.

The Lovely & Charming Mrs. Cowboy is like that; trying to get Her into a restaurant She’s never tried before is like trying to get Trump to tell the truth.

I’ve had a bad habit of being like this, and I’ve tried to break it. A few weeks ago I ordered from someplace new (a street-taco place) and… well, I didn’t really like it. It was worth the try, though.

I guess not all “experiences” are “adventures”. :)

The contrast of reality to imagination.

Definitely one of the funniest classics! And it doesn’t help that the Mom’s cooking often looks like green slime, anyway!

As a picky eater growing up, I can relate. Dad would say, “He’s afraid he’ll like it.”

That wasn’t the case at all.

She must’ve gotten that recipe from the mother in Better Off Dead.

If you never eat food you’ve never had before, you’ll be subsisting on breast milk your whole life.

I’m sure many here remember when Calvin’s dad told him that he was smart not to eat his dinner, as it was really radioactive waste that would turn him into a mutant. Naturally the reverse psychology worked, and Calvin scarfed it down. But you can only pull that trick on your kid once.

It’s GREEN ! Yuck…

Did Calvin ever face down that most dreaded of interstellar beasts . . . the Casserole?!
