Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 14, 2015

not trying for bronze are you?

I’m atoning for MY frugality this Christmas for a change. Maybe I’ll buy myself both socks AND shorts this year! I asked myself, “What would HE do?” And I think HE would!

Can you walk on water as well?

Can’t you sleep at night or are you an european?

Poor Calvin. He just doesn’t have a clue.

The pants wouldn’t be so bad, it’s a Norwegian pattern with stars and reindeer, in red, white and black. I’ll put them into my boots, than you can’t see the ankles!!

like it REALLY matters, dude.

Once there was a king who sent two of his ambassadors to a meeting of great importance in a far country. One of the ambassadors wanted so desperately to be the first to report back to the king, that he left the meeting early, before he really knew anything. He rushed, pushing all others aside, to stand before the king in great haste. Breathlessly, he opened his mouth and found that he had absolutely nothing worthwhile to report. The second ambassador stayed until the meeting was complete, then returned and calmly stood before the king and explained everything the king needed to know.And so, dear friend, you see that being first, with nothing to say, really doesn’t mean that much.

When is the last time you heard a six year old use those words.

I am praying for the day, when I can atone for my frugality.

Calvin obviously has a rather long “Get” list, rather than any “Give” list!

All I could understand was the 1st and 2nd panel.

Yes, I’m stupid.

Everything is important. In your opinion Calvin.

I love Calvin and Hobbes so much!!!!!

last…woo hoo.

We haven’t seen Hobbes the commentator here in quite a while. Hope our friend is OK …

In a way I’m so glad that the season of frenzied commercialism and acquisition is between Thanksgiving and Christmas—it means that those of us who celebrate the original Christmas can do so in peace and joy.
