Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 10, 2019

Hobbes has no intention of being the bearer of crazy news.

There’s no less than three strips where Calvin mentions the snow demons.

It’d be cool if we learned more about them, but I guess the less we know, the funnier. (Like with the noodle incident or Hamster Huey.)

have fun at that, Calvin

Get the paper mache ready.

As much as I love snow, I wouldn’t want to deal with demons. (Watch Supernatural)

Obviously, Calvin expects the school to be closed tomorrow on account of snow.

Calvin should talk to this guy.

Calvin just wants to make snowmen in grotesque scenes of murder and death. I’m in for that!!!

Calvin, Snow Demons are fickle, you need a sacrifice for them. It’s the only thing that works.

The only reason the little imp isn’t going to school tomorrow is because it’s a legal holiday.

A little over a year after the rollerblade incident, we moved from the Phoenix, AZ area to the Knoxville, TN area. My wife wanted a puppy for her birthday. So we hit the animal shelters in the area looking for a puppy, preferably a Dachshund. We came across a puppy that was listed as a “German Shepard Mix”. They weren’t sure what he was mixed with but his pads said wolf. We adopted him and my wife named him Critter. Late January of 96 the Knoxville area got hit with a pretty good snowstorm. (Knoxville officially got 14", we were on a ridge outside of Oak Ridge and we got 2 to 3 feet.) Goldy, the Golden Retriever from the rollerblade incident, had never seen snow before and was having a blast porposing through the snow, periodically you see this black and tan head pop up from the trench she was plowing.After that, whenever there were even two flakes of slow, Critter would drag me outside, look at the sky then look at me as if to say, “Well, don’t just stand there, make it snow!”

Try singing “Let it Snow” Calvin!

Maybe Calvin can do a snow dance like the Indians might do.

Snowed here on Tuesday for the first time this season. Still a bit on the ground but calling for rain today.

I don’t know about snow demons but I have seen snow devils.

Calvin’s snowballs in frame one look really hard.

This strip is basically the same as Peanuts Begins….

I wish I could still find the old metal ice trays with the handle.

“Blowing high, blowing low, eating lots of oleo! Getting rolly-polio! Snow! Snow Snow!”

Oh by the way ! You’re going to school one way or another!

Memo to the demons — Fourteen inches or so would be fine.

Boston weather is haunted by an alien who has traveled through the dimensions to warn us to repent to our weather overlords. WEATHER IS HAPPENING. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeHUOEGLQzg

Alice flushes ice cubes down the toilet.Not sure if that works,though ;~|

The snow demons will comply, but they will wait till some morning when Calvin is older, has a job that he is late for and the plows haven’t arrived yet.

Well, after getting shorted on Autumn weather, ironically we have snow in the forecast for tomorrow in the central Midwest!

When’s the last time you saw an ice tray?

I hear if you do a chant and flush an ice cube down the toilet it will appease the snow demons.

That penultimate panel positively warms my soul.

Reminds me of Linus waiting for the Great Pumpkin on Halloween

Calvin wouldn’t tempt the Snow Demons like that after he accidentally had them animate the snow goons…

My kids see a few flakes and want to go out and play in the snow. I don’t mind riding my bike when it’s cold (my limit is about +5 degrees) but I don’t care for standing around in the snow watching my kids and freezing my butt off. It just lends credence to my theory that children are both insane and cause insanity.

Try flushing ice cubes down the toilet.

That’s how I feel close to Christmas, as we usually don’t get snow until AFTER the holidays, and all the way into spring in some cases! The winter weather is really behind schedule sometimes.

Alice of (comic CUL DE SAC) has a great snow chant while throwing ice cubes into the toilet! " Ice cube, ice cube- in the pot. Gee, I hope it snows a lot! Pull the handle, down it goes. May it bring us piles of snows! Harken to me bathroom plumbing! Let there be a snowstorm coming! Winter weather, hear my shout- I wear my PJs inside out! The last bit is spoken with arms raised and standing on her bed while her Mom yells up to her room "Alice, stop casting spells and go to bed!

Kids and tigers need to believe that their dreamswill come true. After all where would Hobbes be without them

The other day, he was complaining about pollution. If the comic had continued much longer, he’d complain about climate change reducing the snowfall.

Snow is a curse, be happy when there is none

One of he genuine reasons for the school to shutdown.

We should have at least a bit of snow tomorrow. My status as “no longer a productive member of society” means that I don’t worry too much about morning traffic.

Calvin you can have your snow. I don’t want it.
