Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 25, 2023

It’ll come to you, Dad.

Good thing the snowmen represent Dad and Calvin. The neighbors might have complained if it was Dad & Mom.

The hereafter…..what am I here after?..

He could’ve made the glasses out of snow, but this is better.

Another question: where is Calvin? (Perhaps out sledding with Hobbes.)

The kid’s talent for artistic statement cannot be denied.

In this case, art imitates life.

This is typical of kids. When I was Calvin’s age, I’d take my parents stuff to wrap the, as Christmas presents and give them back to them since I didn’t have money to buy them actual gifts. I like Calvin’s idea better though.

Like i said some time ago. Love the snowman strips.

Life should imitate art.

He’s making a spectacle out of you…..

A take on reality by Calvin.

Realize it’s January, and really love the snow comic, but wondered how Watterson got the inspiration for it.

Check https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/news/1993-snow-storm-of-the-century – the site info says it all.

Maybe he has some prescription sunglasses in the car.

Unfortunately, for Calvin, child labor laws don’t apply in the home since wages are not paid and no interstate commerce is directly involved ! ! !

Wait until he finds out!

Those snowmen are a lot more work than shoveling the walk.

Time to keep Calvin from the Pink Floyd videos…

Lol In the time it took to make the snowmen , He could have cleared the walk lol

I’m impressed he did all that in the time it took dad to find his book.

There might be no better thing in the history of comic strips that Cal’s snowmen. Even better than the Spiff or Stupendous Man strips.

The likeness is stunning.

“Dad told me to build character, so I built two.”

LOL! Too funny!

Classic.

Could you imagine the chaos this comic would have brought us, if Calvin was African American?

lol!

Well, at least he won’t be able to read about his sinking Poll Numbers… ☺

To complete the look, Calvin should be on his knees groveling to “da Man”

Comedy genius! I love this one!

Calvin, you little rascal.

Wait till he goes looking for his belt.

Bad dad…

Love how the Dad snowman is skinnier than the real Dad!

Who tells a 6 year old to shovel the walk??

Only in cartoons can a kid like Calvin have such a prowess for building incredible snowmen.

He went to get his book, but it’s not visible in any of these panels. Doesn’t mean anything, but if you’re going to call attention to it you should show it.

“Row faster slave!” oh wait, sorry, wrong story. Thinking of the boat scene in Ben-Hur.

LOL… you have to watch Calvin every minute.

I absolutely adore all of the snow people-related “C and H” strips; God, they make me giggle.

They are providing valuable assistance to the “message”.

You couldn’t make glasses out of snow

Funny.

whips build character.

Deserves that…who sends a 6 year old out to shovel snow…

I love the little snow Calvin

Reminds me of a similar “C&H” …

Dad can’t find his glasses, until Calvin walks in wearing them and says, “Calvin, go do something you hate! Being miserable builds character!” Then Mom cracks up and Dad comments on the funny voice and the sarcastic kid they’re raising.

Funny stuff.

Oh Calvin… Our boy’s a hell of a satirist.
