Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 04, 2020

She will appreciate his sense of humor when she grows up.

I thought girls liked playing doctor. Playing neurosurgeon must be something different.

Or have Hobbes and Mr. Bun devour it.

When Calvin asked Suzie if she wanted to play doctor, this isn’t what she had in mind.

Calvin is my kind of kid!

She can be the anesthesiologist. If something goes wrong and the snowman wakes up, she’ll freak out.

I may be weird (well heck: I am weird), but I really like the Calvin snow people.

You could use brain surgery yourself, Calvin.

What is it with Calvin and snowmen?

Is he asleep Calvin, he doesn’t look asleep.

Weirdest game of Doctor I’ve ever seen

This isn’t how we played “doctor” as kids. But, this is Calvin! :D

Well that snowballed quickly…..

Susie is such a party pooper.

The doctor is in.

I would not have been playing with that monster to start with.

Calvin’s a smooth operator.

and while you’re at it a couple of snowballs.

Calvin’s type of surgery is about the only kind covered by my insurance plan —thanks to the Affordable Care Act.

I see this as the last of a series of three small victories for Calvin over Susie. That’s probably a record for him as we often see a whole month go by without him outwitting Susie. Grossing her out, as he’s doing today, is his speciality however. Susie usually beats him when it comes to manipulation.

Hey Dad, your saw has been laying in the snow for three days.

Playing?!? I’ll have you know that this kind of surgery is very complicated.

Is that a recently-sharpened saw?

Why NOT Suzie?!!!! Might be fun !!!!! lol

I can see Calvin as a grown up chinsaw carver…

And so it begins,,,,,,,,

I hadn’t realized that Calvin’s last name was ‘Dalhmer’ until now.

Some of Watterson’s all-time strips were with Calvin and his snow creations. The zombies attacking helpless snowmen that had expressions of horror on their faces were hilarious. He never should have retired this strip.

Our daughter loved giving me brain transplants when she was little. Sometimes she’d take a break after removing the old brain and leave me paralyzed.

How did he manage to get his hands on a saw? With his record, I’d imagine his parents keep the tools locked up.

I’d hate to think what kind of citizen Calvin (and Lio) would grow up to be?!

I like the snowmen so much.

Well unless things change in the C&H book I’m following we are going to have a great arc start Monday.

Calvin plays Calvinball everywhere and in all conditions.

Schroeder should take notes…maybe Lucy would leave him alone if he did this!

A rare reenactment of “Frankenstein.”

This was the strip that taught me “donor.”

Poor guy. Brain surgery AND a heart transplant at the same time.

The big question is how Calvin got a real saw.

Someone please buy him the game “Operation”.

Calvin’s gonna put a Genuine Abbey Normal™ brain in the snowman—to match his own.

The snowman’s name is Paul Krendler.

Just wait until he gets to use power tools!

What?? She’s already been playing plastic surgeon!

Ah Calvin….I didn’t know your middle name was Frankenstein….

I can imagine little girls like Amy Farrah Fowler might enjoy such a game…

Calvin needs some ‘X’ shapes with maybe 3-inch spikes to use for the eyes for his creations

Awww, he was trying to make peace and play with Suzie. She’s a party pooper lol
