Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 25, 2014

I would be both proud and concerned if my kid did that.

So, Calvin in the end is helping to beautify the neighborhood….

If this were being drawn today, Calvin’s mom would have probably created a Tumblr called “My Son’s Creepy Snowmen.” And it would be going viral.

Opposit of the grave, were my parents are buried grows a tree it has a face and a bottom, everything grown in nature, not done artificial!

They try to plant mature hedges ,how nice of them.I bet they try to keep to themselves too.

No your not. This is way to deep for me.

I’d put in a nice tall fence.

Jeez, I’d let him create that awesome snow art in my yard.

Ahh…Calvin. Truly aHEAD of his time!

Eyja and Bluram. The snowman appears to be an explorer who has stumbled upon a headhunter’s cookpot and is aghast at the sight. I think.

Perhaps English is a second language for LX013 or perhaps he/she is a product of the “Open Court” method of teaching. It was taught to my youngest and when I tried to correct her she told me that spelling didn’t matter as long as the letters made the sound of the word. She found out in college that spelling does matter….

On the other hand she is great deciphering vanity plates!

ever heard of a character named susie derkins?

Dr watterson I presume?

I love Calvin in the winter because of all the snow people he makes. lmao!

will be Calvin…

No.

This actually happened to my rowdy family when I was young. That hedge is still there according to Google earth.

Probably…

LX013 is not a native english speaker. Please translate her comment into perfect dutch. Then feel free to criticize.

Calvin’s snow art is some of my favorite C&H strips. If a real child at his age had his vocabulary, creative imagination, and artistic ability he/she would be considered a genius..Maybe a “headhunter” will see him and give him a contract. (couldn’t resist.)

I wonder if this is the only strip that has neither Calvin or Hobbes in it. Anyone have the answer?

OOPS! Neither Calvin NOR Hobbes. Don’t want to be called out.

Thank you, I didn’t recognize the mistakes!

I am guessing that all the spelling errors are doing your head in. Editor by any chance:)

Calvin is the image of his mum

Yes, Calvin’s neighborhood seems quite bereft of other children, except for Susie, and there’s no indication as to her proximity to Calvin’s home except that she lives close enough to walk to (for an ambush) and there are improved sidewalks for them to play on. All other kids their age are a bus ride away at their school.Calvin doesn’t have any other mentoring grownups and his own father plays with his head. This, along with his social isolationism is just what our little Asperger’s case needs for his budding personality. Thank goodness this is way before they would have drugged him.

“Shrunken heads! Shrunken heads here! Get it on a stick!”

Well they have neighbors, though they’re not seen that I can remember. Susie has to come from somewhere. And Roslyn the sitter too. They live on a street with sidewalks, that Calvin sometimes populates with snow goons. -——————————-I just don’t think that Watterson believes that the universe outside his characters is as interesting as they are.

There’s a reason for that.

Haha I agree. Grammar Police very funny

Great work, Calvin!

Calvin’s a shoe-in to grow up and write US Foreign Policy…

I can’t seem to get my cooking pot to hold its shape. How do you do that Calvin?

Love it!

Welcome to all of the “visitors” here who are trying to improve themselves by testing their understanding and use of a new / foreign language. Thank you for understanding that some others here seem to be unable to “share” their grammatical knowledge in a less-than pedantic, pejorative manner (despite their purported “command” of the language). Most of us enjoy and welcome your participation…come back anytime !

I winder why? Calvin dude you have a sick imagination but you are funny.

They look like the shrunken head I bought from Johnson Smith and Company in 1956.

I think Calvin should hook up with Danae from Non Sequitur.

I wonder who the safari hat belonged to?

yes

calvin could make a lot of money from winning snow sculpture contests
