Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 06, 2023

To the contrary, that’s quite a pleasurable piece of work.

Leave room for the prophets of doom…..

I can hardly wait for spring too… just minus the snow prophets.

To some people like me, this is an unfriendly reminder.

“You certainly take the pleasure out of waiting for daffodils.”

Especially if you live in Wales.

Some of our crocus are already doing their thing. And the daffies have swelled heads, but so far no color. Spring it is icumen in.

Lost art

I just adore Calvin’s snowmen.

Calvin and his snow creatures

In some places, Spring has already sprung…

“I’m melting! “I’m melting!” ~ Margaret HamiltonP.S. “I’ll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too.” ~ Margie, again.

Spring is coming.

So take a step back. It could get messy.

Here we anxiously await crocus’ and daffodils!

It’s been a wild ride this winter….warmer temps, ice, snow, sleet, rain, thunder, hail….☹️

In Ottawa we wait for the Tulips.

Southern Illinois here, and the flowers are in bloom and my fruit trees are flowering

One of the best snowmen strips!

We have been unseasonably warm. Not only do we have daffs, but some of them have already O’dilled.

That’s Cal. Always with the bright outlook

♫ “And the flowers bloom like madness in the sprin…nnn..nnn.nnng…”♫

Daffodils just sit there. Snow men are activists.

Another great moment from Cal’s mother. The kid shows amazing creativity and she dumps on him. Okay it might not be to everyone’s taste but it’s not horrible. When was the last time his parents complimented him on anything?

“I’m melting…. I’m melting…”

Frosty the Snowman knew the sun was hot that daySo he said, “Let’s run and we’ll have some funNow before I melt away”

Calvin would be a climate doomsayer today.

Yes, mom is curious of daffodils, and so are we.

At least they are more accurate than the rapture predictors.

“And always at my back I hear Time’s winged chariot hurrying near.” The poet was a Marvel.

Another 3 inches of snow last night. More in the mountains. Spring is in May, right?

I demand proof.

\\//_

Always predicting doom is the safer bet.

my “suprise lilies” are already poking up about 2"

I think Calvin was really trying to profit from his “prophets”

So far where I am, this winter it generally only snows from a light dusting to three inches, and then it all melts away within a day or two! And I bet it’ll happen a couple more times this March…

I see buds, but no ombudsmen

Geez Bill, what kind of childhood did you have!!?

And the daffodils are doomed too. Doooooooooomed!

Calvin springs to action!

I’m with Calvin – of course.

I don’t have to wait, They’re up already and fit to bloom!

Actually, we just got our first big snowstorm last week. But that’s ok…it’s melting fast.
