Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 04, 2011

I’d be scared, too! This is somewhat like an episode of the Twilight Zone.

Creepy…

How will that end?!

You can run, but you can’t hide, Calvin

Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠

Ah, the Attack of the Deranged Killer Monster Snow Goons. Classic.

This isn’t going to be pretty….maybe Hobbes can help.

Mom’s icy stare in panel 3 sure won’t help!

When I was young I built rumors like that. Now that only happens to me April 15.

That is scary ,every bit alive as Hobbes,but mean. This may be Calvins chance to mend some nasty habits

Hilarious!

believe it mother….

believe it mother….

believe it mother….

When he is a nice snowman I would invite him for a glass of limonade and a sandwich. But when it is an evil snowman, I’d pour a bucket of hot water upon him!

@hawgowar Forgot mutant

Get out the hose and freeze him solid.

**Good morning Marg! Good morning Fran! Good Morning L’Wolf! Good Morning Grog!**

I love this one!

Hummm….

Where is Hobbes?!

Break out the blow dryer and the extra long extension cord.

Tell him you’ll meet out back to enjoy the hottub and hot cider.

Calvin why so close to the door.

If you can’t get out the door, how do you think Calvin got in?! Obviously, it really IS alive!!

I bet Hobbes is in on this somehow.

Obviously it’s an in-swinging door, and obviously it followed Calvin right up the steps and is waiting, waiting, waiting …

Great strip! What a imagination!

Well for heaven’s sake, invite him in. Snowmen can’t survive indoors, thank God! But be sure to have a wet vac handy and pour the water down the toilet and flush. If you pour it outside he will just reformulate back into a snowman, or worse an iceman. Nothing is worse than when the iceman cometh.

This strip makes me think of the current US Postal Service TV ad with the family standing outside looking in on the creepy little red clown doll. Come to think about it, all clowns are sort of creepy.

Doesn’t Calvin have a back door?

I’ll bet Hobbes could make short work of him–if he could be convinced of the need.

Shades of Cosby’s “Giant Chicken Heart”. (THUMP-thump! THUMP-thump!)

I love Calvins dream, well we better wake him up..

PS It would be nice if Calvin’s snowperson shoveled the walk and driveway for him

Or the Twilight Zone’s episode with Bill Shataner called “Terror at 5,000 Feet” . (I think?)

I love these too!

I don’t know if everything can be accounted for by saying Calvin is just imagining things. The snowman was lying in the snow, now it is at the front door.

Did he build it laying down, or right up at the door like Mom thinks?

Or did we just witness the birth of the snow goon!!! - I’m leaning towards this one being closer to the truth. ;-) j/k

i feel ur pain calvin…dem snowmen have been out ta get me for years now…

Calvin’s mom looks nice in the Nordic sweater and jeans. It also appears that the “…iceman knocketh”. She’ll havta go to the garage and get a shovel to deal with the situation. It’s tough being a snow person…..

Surely, there are other doors to use?

Yes, there are, and don’t call me Shirley (Leslie Nielsen, RIP)

Just sneak out another door with a bucket of hot water. Snow Goon done gone buh-bye.

Easy Mom, all house doors open IN so you’ll have no problem. Raising that son will be more difficult.

Of course he knows where you live, Calvin … you led him right to your front door!

That’s clever of Calvin to put his snowman at the door to back up his story.

I hope the Monsters Under the Bed have a couple of days off …

And it was “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet” - I don’t even have to look that one up … monsters under the bed told me …

TO THE BASEMENT!

you need boiling water

My problem is, how did Calvin get IN the front door?

what if watterson made one about covid-19 and calvin’s mom tell him to put on a mask to go in the store
