Excellent question, kreole. For readers who think that Hobbes isn’t real and he only exists in Calvin’s imagination, how could Calvin roll himself up inside a big snowball? It’s physically impossible.
Good original comment, Margaritem! That’s one of my favorite quotations. The best I could come with after that is “What goes around, comes around.” Calvin frequently prooves it.
PS: With a really wet snow, I think maybe Calvin could roll around enough to cover himself. Sure remember having to brush kid’s snowsuits at the door before they could come inside.
@HOBBES &ALL: Guess I got carried away with the “whose last commenter” the other day. In my defense, I’m bored with time on my hands. Confined to house for about ten days after minor surgical procedure. Do spend a lot of time reading by the (electrical) fireplace, but kept coming back to comics to read the postings. Sure is more fun than cleaning closets.
@Mythreesons: Don’t worry, the “final commenter” contest was all in fun, and nobody was taking it seriously. Just a random group of sleep-deprived GoComics posters amusing ourselves in the middle of the night (and for a few days after).
Sometimes the greatest creative ideas come in the middle of the night. And sometimes….
Hope your recovery goes well. Not sure whether reading our comments will speed your recovery or slow it down. I’ll say “Hi” to Bill Watterson for you if I see him. :>)
Mythreesons Not sure of minor surgery you had, any surgery will hurt, I ought to know I think I had minor on upper part. Get to feeling better.
Now Calvin you need to calm your imagination down you could freeze rolled in the snow.
I remember of one situation ages ago. From Middle schol a teenage boy three snowballs at people. Principle made him create a big snowball, then made him sit on it until melted. Boy was unhappy about this, don’t know if curred him.
Thanks to all of you for your kind comments. When I say “minor” it really was. I am prone to melanomas on my face, and this was laser to work on old scars and stop anything from developing. Not painful, but ugly, and I prefer to stay out of sight. And HOBBES, say “hello” as you shave tomorrow, will you? Thanks.
Calvin, didn’t you learn anything about who not to throw snowballs at after the shellacking you got from Susie on Thursday?!?!? Or have you slept too many times since then and just forgot?!? And now you’re doing the exact same thing to a ferocious man-eating tiger with “giant mandibles of death”?!? Are you absolutely crazy or what?!?!?
Yep, it’s all fun and games … until you hack off someone big enough that can turn you into a giant “pig in a blanket”!

@LX013, take a look at the bright side. Hobbes could have sealed the opening shut.

I sense a theme here. Yesterday it was Susie, today Hobbes. Who’s the wrong person that Calvin’s going to attack tomorrow? (Or Monday?)
