Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 16, 2009

LOL! Way to rub it in, Hobbes!

Good old Hobbes, sacrificing his comfort for Calvin.

Good thing that the comic strip ended when it did. I predict Calvin cursing his mouth off at Hobbes in the next panel.

I would like some hot chocolate right now, too.

Hobbes best not get any hot chocolate on Calvin’s comic books.

Hobbs going to the bus stop without his scarf - he risks being propped up in bed with a cold.

No scarf needed when you have a big fur coat. And doesn’t Calvin’s school have snow days, since there appears to be a full-out blizzard going on?

“As soon as I graduate…”. Calvin the optomist.

Hobbes ist not a little bit of egoist!

Hobbes figures there’s no sense both of them should suffer.

Tough it out Calvin! This is something you can tell your children about.

But what would be the point of having hot chocolate without Calvin? To paraphrase Charlie Brown: when you’re really lonely the marshmallows stick to the roof of your mouth!

I went for a walk into the woods today and it was such a cold, icy and stormy day.

Calvin’s right, that’s how one should spend days like this. Hmm. Maybe when I retire I can do that?

I can see several advantages to a fur coat.

Sorry fellahs, when you retire you have to get up and go visit the doctor!!

hobbs definately has the right grit of sandpaper lol

Calvin’s forgetting that after he graduates he will have to go to work. If he isn’t freezing at a bus stop waiting for the bus he may have a car of his own which he has to scrape the snow off of before he can leave, and he has to warm up the car. On the other hand he may just move to Florida.

What would Captain Napalm do?

~Did you have hot chocolate when you got home?

I think the blizzard, like so much else in C&H, is primarily in Calvin’s mind.

Yes, just like when I used to walk three miles to school (No buses, you know, back in the Middle Ages). Through the snowdrifts. Uphill. Both ways.

A few days ago,he was complaining about not enough snow.

I already drank delicious hot chocolate yesterday! That was how it made me feel warm enough during the winter time. :-]

To margueritem: I had coffee and cake!

i got to school this morning and my fav teacher met me outside and told me that she brought me hot chocolate from Starbucks this morning. i was in heaven. I knew she was my fav teacher for some reason. it was a great day.

~ That was really sweet of her. The kids out here have no school today for President’s Day. You don’t get that holiday off?

~Mit Shlag? (Excuse me if I didn’t spell that correctly.)

My grandparents were born in Austria. My Grandfather worked as a border guard on the Austrian - Bohemian border.

Silverpearl-You have a doctor in your bathroom?

by the way… nothing like reading about Christmas on president’s day!

Macushlalondra says: just move to Florida.

It’s worse in Florida. A hurricane comes and you’re stuck inside a hot, smelly home and the boredom is killing your brain cells and your pets get blown away and there’s nothing on tv but news and when its over and you go outside you have someone else’s lawn furniture in your yard and a nice, blue tarp on your roof. Snow is better.

na - huh

Ohne SCHLAG! Schlag makes fat!

I know exactly what you mean Calvin, warm bed, hot cocoa and good reading… That’s a good way to spend cold winter days.

LX013 says:

~LOL! Yes, it does.

I don’t care for schlag too much. I like my cakes and pies plain.

Isn’t this the same little boy who did a special dance right before Christmas trying to MAKE it snow????!!! It’s not all it’s cracked up to be, is it, Calvin?!?!?!?

Bmonk; uphill, both ways…..? LOL, I love it and will probably use it, but someone has to call you on it here.

Of course! That’s the song of the Elder complaint-telling songbird. Traditional in most places.

it was sweet of her, i run around and take care of things for her when she is out, so she was just paying me back, not that i ask her to do so. we never have presidents day off. we get out for MLK and fat Tuesday, Easter/spring break/Christmas/new years/ and i think one more thing but that is it. i dont know why we never get off for this. strange.

~Mardi gras, you must live in New Orleans. That’s a holiday we never got off.

I agree with Calvin, nobody likes snow at 7:30 in the morning, especially when the alternative is a warm bed, and a nice cup of cocoa.

yeah yeah rub it in Hobbes.. :D

if we kids only didn’t have to grow up. :-(

I love sarcastic sympathy

Mardi gras, you must live in New Orleans. That’s a holiday we never got off. ~ actually not just people who live in New Orleans get mardi gras off. I believe most catholic schools have it off. I go to a private catholic church and we always get it off. I live in florida!

Aww! Hobbes sacrifices a cozy morning to wait in the freezing cold (and may even have to drink lukewarm hot chocolate, can’t forget that) just to keep his pal company. Whatta guy! (er…tiger)
