Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 08, 2019

A little boy’s happiness dashed by global warming.

Let me guess, he was betting on school being cancelled by inclement weather again?

I’d still enjoy this snow. Last time I had snow, it was nothing but flakes.

What a contrast with yesterday apathy .

no snow here in Clark County, Washington, USA… not even a sixteenth of an inch thereof

Here in beautiful upstate NY we missed having our first major storm in November by one day. We got nearly an inch of ice followed by about 14 inches of snow on 12/1. Oh, fire truck ship high in transit. The wife got snow pants and boots for the kids later in the week. I told her to find me a snowmobile/hovercraft hybrid with a heated cabin and I’d gladly go outside with them. I’m dreaming of a green and brown Christmas.

If Hobbes was a Siberian Tiger, it would snow much more Calvin, blame him.

ONE lousy half-in h

In 1979 they were talking about a new Ice Age coming our way, nothing could stop it. By 1981, bam! it was all about global warming. Now it’s “climate change”—indicating that they don’t really know what’s going to happen. Kind of like the weather man. You want to know what the weather’s like, open a window.

Close the door idiot!!

At least it’s not much to shovel the driveway.

Why does Calvin want Canada wiped off the face of the Earth?

When I was a little child, we had so much snow!!

I’d be happy for a half-inch of snow. Shoot, I’d be happy with SNOW.

I love Calvin’s frustration at just a half inch of snow, rather than glaciers and a new ice age, being contrasted with Hobbes’s joyful “Look! The sun’s coming out!”

I don’t mind snow, it’s ice I hate, actually I wonder if that’s why it’s called an ice age and not a snow age, just wondering…

Even Calvin’s robust imagination can’t help this!

Mayor Bloomberg has multiple homes, helicopters, planes, and limos while he scolds me like an old maid in pants to take a train.

If you convert it to metric it sounds like more. 12.7 millimeters!

If Calvin is lucky, he may get some sledding in before it warms up and he has to mow the lawn.

Wow! Calvin is upset because he only got an inch of snow (from 1989). And suddenly we have a bunch of nutz spewing climate crap, that someone on the interwebz told them to believe. If you’re not a climatologist, STFU and enjoy the cartoon, like most of us do.

Here in north Florida, a half inch would mean school closings! ;o]

When I mention that there were dinosaur bones found in Alberta, a place that currently hovers around -30C most of the winter they disbelieve that at one time it was a warm place all year round. And yes,, that was after the continental shift.

Go to the Grand Canyon and see 250 million years of climate change.

Ahhh – to be a child again and enjoy the snow! Cue the song: “The First Snowfall”

What I wouldn’t give for a decent amount of snow here in BC.

Mr Watterson sure loves to draw. Especially the Sunday strips where he really pulls out all the stops. Delightful. Awesome.

Calvin should’ve gone with the polar bear eating a marshmallow in a snowstorm at the start, instead of just blinking…

Oklahoma snow was always disappointing. Then, I moved to SoCal.

A half inch is too flippin’ much.

This was one of the first three Calvin & Hobbes Sunday pages I ever read. I still remember that.

Calvin seems pretty gleeful considering everything up North was wiped out.

With 1,000’s of scientists who unanimously agree that global warming is here, I’d rather put my faith in them than the deniers any day.

I thought Bill Watterson stopped making comics a long time ago? I’ve never seen this strip…

A great imaginative scene cut short by Hobbes.

That’s good because those type of sleds do not work in really deep snow.

Fun Fact: Polar Bears can hide their face with their paw to fool their prey
