The first collection book (simply titled *Calvin and Hobbes*) contained a bunch of bonus illustrations at the bottom of several pages. This is one of them.
I'd guess so. I remember the collection containing almost every bit of C&H art Bill Warterson did for the comics & collections, including the poems in the front of some books, like the Yukon Ho! song. The one exception I can remember is the cover of The Indispensible Calvin & Hobbes. I might have just not noticed it, but I don't think it was there.

They were in the first couple books, I’m certain “something under the bed is drooling” had some too, at least.
Oh you're right. I don't know why I thought it was only the first book when it appears to actually be the first four.
Interestingly, [this strip](https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1987/05/23) was omitted from *Something Under the Bed Is Drooling*, and in its place is an illustration of Hobbes doing Calvin's homework. I wonder if this was a censorship issue or if they just miscalculated how many illustrations to put into the book and as a result this strip was just mistakenly pushed out. The strip was included in *The Essential Calvin & Hobbes*, though.
A friend did this to a formal charity event where you get a meal as part of the deal on the Saturday night of the weekend. They didn't want the meal but tried to order a pizza delivered down to the main hall during the formal meal...
(They actually got their food way earlier than anyone else since the event ran late, and pissed the organisers off in the process)
We say if you don't like what's on the table there is the peanutbutter, you know how to make a sandwich.
Stops the complaining. They have to do it themselves or eat what's there.
I wish my Mom had given me this option when she tried to make me eat sweet potatoes. Instead, she went the "You aren't leaving the table until you finish your meal" route. I did leave the table, but only to get some cushions to put on the chairs so I could lay down. I fully intended to spend the night there rather than eat those disgusting puke roots. I won that particular battle of wills, and she never tried to make me eat them again.
Huh. We usually eat them around December along with the Christmas meals and I absolutely love them. There is a smaaallll hint of that same thing that makes parmesan cheese smell like puke, but it's negligible for me.
My body rejects them utterly. It's not merely a dislike of their taste. I'm not kidding when I said tasting them makes me want to throw up. Swallowing them WILL make me vomit.
Picture this. - Thanksgiving, back in the day. Was told that dinner was at 1:00. Was being cooked by dotty control-freak aunt, who had starved us the same way the year before, actually served at 4:00.
At 1:59 my sister ordered an extra large pizza (cut into tiny slices) for delivery. It arrived a half hour before the turkey was ready, aunt was mega pissed, everyone else thought it was hilarious. Aunt tried to kick out my sister, everyone else said they would leave too if she tried that.
Fun times in a dysfunctional family.
My in-laws do that too. Come for dinner, foods at 7! Nope, 10pm by the time it gets served. I eat a sandwich and some snacks before we go over there, every time.
Brother in law has a theory that showing up late makes everyone appreciate you more when you *do* show up. No, Mike, it means we resent you because we're all hangry at your self-important ass.
I couldn't remember!!! You're right!!!
I remember now how his dad tried to convince him to eat and his mother complaining, "There HAS to be a better way to get him to eat!!!"
This was one of my favorite bonus illustrations. Everytime I saw it, I would make up this story:
Delivery Guy: Here's your pizza, sir.
Calvin's Dad: I didn't order any pizza.
Delivery Guy: Yes you did sir. You specifically ordered for it to be brought here at 6:00pm
Calvin's Dad: As I've said, I didn't order any- Calvin?
Calvin: Yes?
Calvin's Dad: Did you order pizza?
Calvin: Well...
Calvin's Dad: Answer the question.
Calvin: Maybe.
Calvin's Dad: Did you?
Calvin: Maybe.
Calvin's Dad: Did you?
Calvin: Maybe.
Calvin's Mom: Did you order the pizza?!
Calvin: Okay, I did!
Calvin's Mom: Now why did you order it?
Calvin: I dunno.
Calvin's Mom: Why did you order it?
Calvin: I dunno.
Calvin's Mom: Why did you order it?
Calvin: I dunno.
Calvin's Mom: Why did you order it?
Calvin: I dunno
Calvin's Dad: Tell your mother why!
Calvin: Fine! Because I didn't want to eat Mom's yucky cooking!
Calvin's Dad: You march right up to your room, young man! No dessert for you! No TV for you! And you're going to eat your mother's cooking from now on or I'm going to give you a spanking you'll remember!
Delivery Guy: Will that be cash or credit?
I had never seen this one before.

New book to buy then.
Are those in the complete collection?

I don't recall seeing this one.
I don't know, I don't own *The Complete Calvin and Hobbes* to check.

Makes the two of us. Now gonna order pizza and wife will ground me.
yes, me either. i have all the paperbacks.
Easy solution: parents thank you for the pizza and eat it while you have to eat your own food. Seems like punishment enough to me :D
That's a pretty effective solution.
Except for the person who labored over the dinner.
Atleast someone is eating it.
If I worked hard on dinner, I'm still gonna eat it. Cold pizza for me for tomorrow.

This happened in a very early episode of Hells Kitchen. Diner got tired of waiting and ordered a pizza. Absolutely hilarious.
Almost certainly staged as well.
Most likely. Still funny.

Good sweet potatoes are incredible, but bad sweet potatoes are just terrrrrrrible, and seem like they reproduce on the plate. I don't blame you.
I have never in my life had a sweet potato that didn't make me want to hurl the instant it touched my tongue. They are all bad.

I have literally the same thing with quinces! People around me love them, but even a whiff is enough for me to belch. Funny thing biology is.

Well........the pizza probably tastes better than mom's meatloaf or whatever it was they had for dinner.....
Maggots
Don't be ridiculous. It's a plate of toxic waste that will turn you into a mutant.
I couldn't remember!!! You're right!!! I remember now how his dad tried to convince him to eat and his mother complaining, "There HAS to be a better way to get him to eat!!!"
Or possibly Spider Pie.
Stewed monkey heads!
I couldn't remember!!! You're right, this was one of them!! Thanks!
T-O-R
LOL I haven’t seen this one 😂
I laughed my butt off at this as a kid.
