Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 23, 2020

This is probably from where the idea for heated car originated.

If you guys are trying to relax, all I can say is you’re both doing it wrong.

Overheating builds character.

I can’t remember where this line comes from, although I’m thinking from another Calvin and Hobbes, but, “the best things in life are silly”.

It takes the misery of a cold day to create the wonder of a fireplace.

How does the tiger avoid burning his tail?

What about tuna sandwiches? What about making up utterly gross lunch bag contents. What about daydreaming in technicolor?

Ah, to be a child again.

Ah the simple things in life….

A warm derriere is nice, but that’s just for starters.

Are Calvin and Hobbes part Finnish?

The cycle of life, sometime happy and sometimes sad.

The warmth of a fire and the warmth of a good friendship…sounds like a winning combination!

It was really nice when you were six and life was simple.

Our new living room (AKA the office) has a gas fireplace at one end, that’s where my wife’s desk is. Mine is as far away from the fire as possible and still be in the room.

A hammock rotisserie, guys. Invent one.

Ummmmm….. all that’s missing is hot chocolate.

Actually, there is more; but your are correct. You don’t want to know.

I did this with my heater when I was younger.

One thing one should never do, and that is to come in from the cold wearing heavy boots and rest your feet in front of an open fire or a hot wood stove. It feels good at first but eventually the heat works through the sole of the boot and it starts to burn your foot and you can’t get your boots off fast enough. The boot retains the heat far too long.

I wish it was all there was, and I’m retired.

Um, coffee?…

those are some amazing ideas calvin comes up with

As usual, extraordinary animation!

No fireplace screen? Hobbes catches fire, Calvin runs with him setting drapes, couch, carpet aflame. House burns down. I’m a glass-half-empty kind of guy, I guess.

Reminds me of many saunas I’ve taken in MN. Bake in a small room (preferably nekkid with members of the opposite sex) and then jump into a snow bank or a stream that has a pool of running, unfrozen water. AHHH!

Substitute the fireplace for our space heater in the living room, and that’s my family from December to April in NY state’s North Country.

Personally, I don’t want to have to get a college degree, in order to operate my vehicle! I don’t even have remote-operated mirrors!
