Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 15, 2015

Don’t do it, son! You still may have another 2 months to live!

OMG Bill, I would hate to upset you! whats in your mind?

oh…!!!

Snowman has gone back to his maker and he has a snowball’s chance in he//.

Melt! Melt! Melt! Oh, wrong chant?

Looks like another snowfall.

He is nearly crushed by life…

This wasn’t written for his pre-pubescent fans.

“Snow to snow, water to water…”

While jeering crowds collect belowAnd egg him on with ‘Go man go!’

HaahahahHHHHHAAahhaaaa!!!!! (Thankfully, it’s only a cartoon not a real-life neighbor’s kid..).

The poor little snowman is really on edge.He feels that things are meaningless and he is stuck in the gutter.But if he jumps, he could end up cold and lifeless.If your peers told you to jump off a cliff, would you do it?Don’t listen to them. They are nothing but a bunch of flakes.

The Eave of Destruction…

Living on the ledge.

Don’t listen to them! They’re just a bunch of flakes!

On the other hand, if he doesn’t jump, he could wind up with a really bad case of the shingles……

They should all have little pitchforks.

OMG! This is one disturbed 6 year old.

Hmmm…I wonder what command that was. Haha

ROFL!!!!!! He should end up marrying Danae from Non Sequitur.

Don’s fall for it, snowman. You aren’t the only one with a cold heart.

This is the only C&H strip I’ve ever found disturbing.

if i listen to my grandchildren playing, i hear these types of things. not often but on rare occasion. when i ask them why? or how come? i find that they are processing and/or imitating what they saw in a movie, on tv, or heard an adult say. always interesting to me to listen and watch how children try to process what us adults ‘throw’ at them that they truly are not able to understand or process because of their lack of experience, years of living and understanding of ramifications. yet we flippantly so much of the time treat children as miniature adults who can handle situations and information processing like a mature adult and then wonder why they ‘act out’ what they do and say what they say. sorry for being on a kind of soapbox but a few have said how they find this strip ‘different’ – so thought i’d throw in my 1/2 cents of observations on kids and why they sometimes do/say weird, creepy, off the wall stuff like calvin is today.

“Oh my Grace, I got no hiding place”“Oh my Grace, I got no hiding place”

Suicide hotline-your call is important to us-press 1 for -————

Re pitchforks-Years ago, if enemy paratroopers were expected, theywould run out into the fields with pitchforks.Wouldn’t make for happy landings!!

Jump Calvin. Jump! (But leave the snowman alone.)

This is actually so cute!

xxx

from water to water, from snow to run-off we become…

They are calling for you, Calvin. Not the little snowman.

Well that’s it! The boy needs to be checked. :P

All the “snow people” strips were funny but this is hilarious – the best of the bunch.

That’s snow reason to jump….

How does he do that?

Oh, god. Have crowds really been known to do that?! That’s horrific.

Roof jumping is more common than you think…

And then Hobbes pushed Calvin off the roof

Hobbes catches the snowmen
