Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 08, 2023

So much time and labor with no return.

No. Right now, they miss the peace and quiet.

No because they’re scared of getting hit with 200 snowballs.

close the door, Calvin, you’re letting in the cold air

You’re right Cal, nobody cares!!

It’s lonely at the top.

I’m guessing Hobbes is in front of the fire. Best place to be……

Of course Hobbes is in front of the fire :D

Calvin, don’t you dare bring one of those snowballs in the house!

When Susie throws snowballs at you, she usually doesn’t miss.

It’s okay, Calvin. Nobody misses a toothache, either.

Calvin’s pretty good at math when it suits his needs.

Noooo way

So you went inside voluntarily then, huh, Calvin?

“Not yet! Stay outside awhile longer!”

Ha! I remember the snowball arsenal we made….god it was so much fun growing up in the 40’s and 50’s!

Be sneaky Calvin, put two in your pocket as concealed weapons.

At least until he gets cold, or hungry, or bored, or his TV show comes on, or he needs to pee…Oh, what, he’s a boy. Skip that last one.

They’re inside, enjoying the relative tranquility.

[POUNCE!]

“Yeah, me!” ッ

not until the sun goes down – then maybe

NO…

If you want them to miss you, learn to duck.

Those look well-packed and ready to fly!

Not yet, it’s not dark.

Yes, and they really enjoy it.

This would never happen today. Most parents can stand to be more than 10 feet away from their kids for more than 2 seconds.

Calvin misinterptets the child-parent relationship!

You’re not fooling anyone, Calvin. Hobbes can make you go inside with just a few little words:

“Your favorite TV show is on.”

They love the peace and quiet.

get some food coloring and open a slushy stand.

They miss something alright. And it’s not you.
