Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 22, 2014

Tragic and short lives.

But they’re amazing while they last!

But they’re much more interesting than keeping hamsters.

Snow persons are a cold hearted lot.

There’s going to be lots of weird things in the grass when dad goes out to mow in the spring.

I’m surprised that Dad let Calvin keep the snow shovel outside where anyone can steal it to shovel their own snow.

Its good for them that they are not too bright. At least he won’t find out that he is ephemeral himself.

I don’t think I knew how to spell paleontologist at Calvin’s age.

I’ve often thought a collection of Calvins devoted only to snowmen would be a big hit.

Bill naturally has the smarts to use the correct term. If I hear ‘archaeologist’ connected with dinosaur bones one more time…

whatcha cretaceous?

I find Calvin’s snowmen to be great works of art.

A snow angel might cheer him up.

Calvin dude all your snow people make me laugh. Keep up the good work.

Well they have mush for brains so….

Dirt is common, though. Common as dirt, my mother always said.

Call a spade a spade, but that one’s a shovel.

This made me smile.

He should move to Antarctica—they have snow that’s thousand, perhaps millions of years old.
