Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 28, 2017

Give Susie a call. I’m sure she would enjoy proving you wrong.

Not to worry, Hobbes will sneak up behind you.

You think that neighborhood is bad? Try Syria.

The best engineering I’ve seen for building a snow fort is to use blue boxes. Pack it with snow, add a little water to make it damp, tip it over in place and start over. Snow bricks. You can load up all over the neighbourhood and tow them around on a toboggan. Keep the kids busy for days and you don’t need perfect packing snow

Gotta love panel #2

We didn’t use snow forts a lot – only when we had a lot of snow. We wanted the snow for snowballs instead. We (2 of my brothers and I) started a real snow war once when we barely had an inch of snow. We threw snowballs at each other until we pretty much ran out of snow in our yard. Then we went to the next door neighbors house and started a snowball fight with them until their yard was out of snow. Then they joined us, so we had 5 or 6 kids on our team and we threw snowballs at another group of neighbors until they ran out of snow. Two kids from that family joined us while we went to yet another neighbor (3 or 4 more kids) and we all threw snowballs at them. The we saw another couple neighbor kids we didn’t like very much and we all threw snowballs at them. We must have been at least 10 kids strong by then, throwing snowballs at these two other kids. One of them ran in their house crying and their parents called our parents to complain about us being mean and throwing snowballs at their little angels. My parents didn’t get mad at us. My dad said we were just being kids and he thought it was silly of the neighbor to complain. We had a blast that day.

Try living someplace like Beirut for a while. You would love you old home then.

He announced that his fort was impregnable. The rest of the neighborhood probably said, “Oh well, then why try?” Little hint for you, Calvin. If you WANT the enemy to attack, look vulnerable….kind of like what you’ll be when dad catches up with you for blocking up the driveway.

What would Calvin do without Hobbes?

The other kid’s mothers won’t let them play with Calvin because of his baditude.

Well, I’ve finally got a new Calvin Creation. Credit to SomebodyShort for the idea.

I guess Calvin’s neighborhood is too boring!

@LEADINGEDGE I loved Today’s Custom Comic!

5th Panel: A snowball comes out of nowhere and hits Calvin right in the face.

I have a gun which I inherited. I seldom ever touch it. It is unloaded. I don’t want to sell it for fear it may someday be used for an evil act.

And they love you too, Calvin.
