Changes: Dinner

Revision as of 19:47, 19 October 2009

"There has got to be a better way to make him eat!" --Calvin's Mom, after his dad tells him that his dinner is a toxic waste pile "that will turn [him] into a mutant if [he] [eats] it."

Dinner is an often used running gag. All the meals in the series take the form of nondescript blobs. Calvin usually hates what his mom prepares. He often makes comments on the meal, such as "This looks like bat barf." He occasionally orders pizza secretly. He often sees his meal as alive, at some points singing or eating Calvin. Many times, Calvin reacts to the food by choking, spewing it out, and acting as if it were poisoning him. In order to make their son eat, Calvin's parents usually tell him that it's something gross, like stewed monkey heads, maggots, or spider pie.

Calvin once pretended that the food was disgusting, as shown once when he got sick from swallowing it, yet ate it normally after discovering it was hamburger casserole. This may show that sometimes Calvin is used to reacting after swallowing it.

"It'll build character!"
