Every year I ask you to be a good son, student and friend. And every year you callously ignore it and do whatever you want. What’s the deal? Have you wigged out? Or are you just a vindictive, twisted kid bent on destroying your parents’, teacher’s and friends’ life?
I’ve come to believe that telling children about Santa Claus is a terrible idea. I mean you get a kid to believe in something magical and good and then as they grow up they come to realize its all a lie. That’s not a good way to develop a trusting soul, and especially for Christian folk. They want their child to believe in God, but convince them of Santa? Again, bah humbug to American Consumerism. That’s all Christmas is about nowadays
I can’t get over the facial expressions Bill brings to life. The difference between panels 2 & 3, mean, nasty, arrogant and panel 4, calm, thoughtful, considerate, innocent boy. Bill is definitely the master of the pen.
As far as I recall: Calvin wants a complete arsenal of nuclear bombs, nuclear submarines with which to launch them, hand grenades and grenade launchers, his very own bomber plane that he can fly as he pleases (plus unlimited bombs to drop), etc. etc.

Dear Calvin,
Every year I ask you to be a good son, student and friend. And every year you callously ignore it and do whatever you want. What’s the deal? Have you wigged out? Or are you just a vindictive, twisted kid bent on destroying your parents’, teacher’s and friends’ life?
Santa
PS. It felt good to write it.

I’m thinking this is just proof that Santa does have a list and he does check it twice. And he really does know who’s on the top of the Naughty list.

“Facebook Santa” – I never thought of that! I could have a very entertaining lunch break today.

I guess Santa knows that if he left Calvin coal Calvin would find ways of using it.So useless junk is the next best thing.

Supposedly, Abraham Lincoln would do this a lot – write a nasty letter, carry it for a while and then destroy it.

Probably a flamethrower. Can’t blame Santa for bringing him socks instead.

I agree with Hobbes, Calvin.
But I have to admit the letters are hilarious!

Well, that’s what happens when you ask for things like grenade launchers and flame throwers, etc…

Hmmm…Calvin is of the “Twas the Night Before Christmas” school with Santa as an elf.

However if all Calvin gets are ‘practical things’ it can’t be a lot of fun for him.
rgcviper almost 11 years ago
But, Calvin’s not bitter, is he?
He still has quite the impressive vocabulary, though.
