Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 16, 2012

Hypocrite!

Unknown meals must be explored, too!

It’s green. It must be Spaceman Spiff’s kryptonite!

And that alien monster looked so appetizing, too.

Watterson was/is a genius, in his artwork and his storytelling.

Exploring strange worlds are Space Man Spiffs relaxing time from fighting real mean monsters and aliens .Eating that green crap is not good for a man that must be ready to fight and fly at such high speeds.Cant show weakness by barfing or sitting on the toilet.Do not eat that green crap.

Eat your green glop, Spiff man. It’s good for you

I wonder if this is like M*A*S*H, where the meat is green and the vegetables/salad are brown.

Sounds like my grandson.

If you had a kid like Calvin you probably would be too.

Calvin will eat it if she tells him it’s leprechaun brains.

I love the way his hair is standing on end!

The artwork is beautiful too.

I imagine Watterson’s mom was soooo happy when he grew up and moved out…..

Mystery meat — just like what’s served in the military.

Looks like an Indian Saag type dish to me. Yummm!

Looks like spinach souffle. I used to love that stuff.

some food doesn’t look good, but first bite it is really good.

1.You do realize this is a cartoon, right? Where a situation is set up for effect?2.If this were a real life situation you would judge a persons mothering ability on a 30 second glimpse you get into her life?

Mom is an alien and that food will enslave Calvin’s brain to the parental stress outlook…don’t eat it, little buddy!

Just TRY IT Calvin!

For feeding him “a newwww veg’tabullllll!”

Calvin may grow up to be a John Belushi character…

It’s not his refusal to eat — it’s his refusal to try something new, which directly contradicts Spaceman Spiff’s credo of "exploring the unknown. And Calvin very MUCH believes in his own fantasies — otherwise, Hobbes wouldn’t be his only real friend, and Calvin’s imagination wouldn’t be constantly getting him into trouble. Ergo, a Calvin who won’t try new foods = hypocrite.

Eggplant casserole?

It looks like some of those meals the Mom served up in “A Christmas Story!”

But you don’t even know what it is. It could be pesto lasagna for all you know. All you can tell is that it’s green.

Good call Spiff; If i can’t identify it i don’t eat it !!!!!!!!

Even I wouldn’t try food if it looked like THAT.

Happy Beethoven’s birthday, everyone!!(Can you believe he wasn’t included in my “this day in history” gadget?!)

Gotta admire the “otherworldly” artistry! GO Watterson!

Green Slime. The final frontier.

green eggs & ham? Spiff I Am.

How did he ever survive on nothing?
