Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 22, 2020

Being invincible can get boring.

Gotta start some drama.

SPLAT!

That’s why Cold Wars are so boring.

The Covid-19 lockdown is like this.

Interaction. Sigh. Remember interacting with people? :(

Is there anybody out there ?

I’d have preferred the fourth panel with him still in the fort and Susie sneaking up behind him with a huge snowball.

“I now am outside my fort!”

Hobbes is being good today…..

It’s the prequel to ‘The Attack of the Killer Snowmen!’

whoosh blows a tiny wind to attack Calvin as if trying to humor him

Pretty much the story of the Battle of Quebec. Why would you think leaving your fort to engage in open combat is a good idea?

Everybody’s apathy leaves Calvin feeling lonely and cold!

gr8! Now i am confused. Am i to attack Calvin or his fort?

KNOW when to shoot at calvin with snowballs

Thats why we will never have world peace, it’s boring.

going from invincible to vincible, Calvin?

Is it still the same day when Dad made Calvin go out in the cold?

There was a strip similar to this one. Calvin was in his snow fort challenging anyone to attack him but there didn’t seem to be anyone to attack him. Calvin went home and said to Mom, “I wish I had more enemies.” Mom replied, “I’m sure you will someday, honey.”

Nobody’s there but the snowmen, Calvin!

Hes just crying for some action XD

When you’re spoiling for some action it is best to go find it instead of waiting for it to come to you.

Defense against nobody is pretty boring.

No takers?

Another instance of Calvin facing the lack of other kids in his neighborhood.

“Pummel me now. I TRIPLE dog dare you.”

I know how he feels. I have dared to leave my house and still no one will talk to me.

Even Greg Heffley had better snow war luck than this.

“Oh, hi Su…”

[PIF!]

“I am now dismantling my stupid fort…”

uggggghhhhhh of all the comics to rerun its this one

In the ancient battle between the armor and the weapon, the weapon always wins.

You guys need to listen to the spitballers podcast! It’s so funny!

“Suppose they gave a war, and nobody came?” -Charlotte Keys

Darned Canadians!

I have to wonder, where are all the kids in the neigbourhood? We know Suzie lives on the same street as Calvin, and that there’s a bunch of kids at his school around his age as well. So logic dictates that they must live in the same general area. But for some reason, we never see those kids interact with Calvin outside of school. Usually, I don’t think about it too much. But after reading today’s strip I just have to wonder why. It seems so strange to me…

As Al Capp once said, There is nothing sadder than a general with no one to kill…

Fort knox.
