Calvin, I would advise you to apply Pascal’s Wager to Santa. You are better off believing in Santa than not believing. If he does exist, he will reward you with lots of presents for believing in him. He will punish you with no presents for not believing in him.
If he doesn’t exist and you believe in him, you won’t get any presents and you will be wiser next year and not waste your time expecting anything from him next year.
Don’t you have to be on the naughty list to get the good stuff like pistols and racecars and fighter airplanes? Those on the good list get a pack of cards and a sweater.
Once you are comfortable with the understanding that you are already indelibly on the naughty list, it makes throwing that snowball at Suzie or punishing that mouthy tiger a whole lot less fretful!

I always wondered why Santa doesn’t want to be seen if he wants people to believe in him.

I like the wisp and puff of breath when they’re outside in the first two panels.

For being on the naughty list for all the insults Calvin throws at Hobbes, he’ll still get presents on Christmas day…

In Calvin’s case, “insults” is probably the least of his worries.
