This is amazing art, as Watterson creates something I desperately wanted to make in real life, but knew would be impossible, lol. Look at how amazing that snake looks!
It must be alive. We’re looking at the left side of the head the whole time, but the head moves from where we see the body behind it, to where we see the body in front of it.
Search for “The Snow Artist” on Facebook (and occasionally other places). He makes snow snakes (and Baby Yoda) in his front lawn. Paints them. Impressive. Worthy of Calvin.

He should try the snow snake in spring. After it swallows him, the sun will help him melt his way out.

I am surprised Calvin made the snow serpent so soon after his battle with the Snow Goons!

All that poor snake wanted was to go behind a tree for a quiet hiss…

Calvin has a couple things you DON’T have, Miss Derkins. An imagination and a sense of fun.

Relative to chromosomes, this comic strip could be topical today, but if I said anymore, some people would complain.

Calvin’s such a sexist, although the nun who taught me biology in high school wouldn’t mind.

A long, cold setup for a short, cold response. However, there’s no business like Snow Business (at least for Calvin).

Would Calvin be upset if Susie returned with a shovel, and hacked the snake to pieces, in order to “ save Calvin” as he requested?

In the first panel the snake’s head is turned right relative to the next segment of its body. In the last panel it’s turned left.
