Wow. Critical Parent Fe (in Jungian terms) in spades: total disengagement from just about everyone he knows. This is one malcontented little ENFP Inspirer we have here. (Now if he were an INFP Idealist, his ability to find weak spots in, immobilize and demoralize others - at least in his own wishful thinking - would dwell on negative thoughts about how events will turn out in the future.)
I didn’t go to college. What are all the psychological initial about? And I forget the difference between Jung and Freud, but then I’m normal and don’t need to know.
Would mom and dad be among the snowmen? I would think that he doesn’t hate his parents that much. But considering what he had for his latest dinner and breakfast, I am not so sure…
Slowly the snowmen turn toward Calvin. They start to approach him from all sides. Close-up of Cal’s face as he realizes he is surrounded. Cut to commercial.
As I said in a previous day’s post, this cartoon is beginning to have an increasingly dark edge to it. On the other hand, so are many of our movies and much of our tv as well. Last days, end times - degradation abounding…sic transit gloria mundi…
In the summertime you can make felted dolls – to felt them you have to jab them repeatedly with a barbed needle – and if you name them first, it is great therapy. Just ask at your nearest yarn store.
UHOH WHAT IF CALVIN IS ONE OF THOSE SNOWMEN
SERRIOUS THERAPY BILLS HERE.
i NAME THEM OBAMA, PELOSI, REID, SCHUMMER, BRADY, BOXER, KENEDY [OH YES HE MELTED] , REID,
PELOSI, OBAMA, FRANKEN, JACKSON

Which one is Moe?

My thoughts exactly Marg.

This is going to get much better as the snowmen multiply. It’s one of my favorite Calvin and Hobbes episodes!
wrmswt over 14 years ago
It’s the magnifying glass for Moe.
Vista Bill Raley and Comet™ over 14 years ago
It’s coming back to me now… I believe they are called the snow goons later… or am I thinking of another time in Calvin’s life?
carmy over 14 years ago
I would think that he would want the ones he hates to melt slowly for a long time.
margueritem over 14 years ago
Good point, Carmy.
COWBOY7 over 14 years ago
The majority of them night be Moe, so he can see it happen more than once!

Okee-dokee. I shut up now.

Hobbes is right… WE didnt know Calvin knew so many people!! Most of them will be his teachers!!!

Yikes, gives me the shivers.

I can’t help, I’m not so holy, so that I am without thoughts of revenge! I think, it’s a good idea! This pulls away aggressions!

I just love this kid’s twisted mind. He’ll obviously turn out to be a CIA interrogator when he grows up.

AHHHH, just think how many wars could be avoided if only people took a lesson from Calvin & did this.

Psychology…bah!…….make snowmen, get over it.
mexdr1958 over 14 years ago
Calvin is advancing the Science of Gestalt psychotherapy…..not bad for a six-year old.
IndyMan over 14 years ago
Which one is Susie? Or is she conspicuous by her absence?
pintcape over 14 years ago
who made calvin this upset to want to take revenge like this.
Herocoder over 14 years ago
Dr. Badsnow is back to his tortorus methods of exacting revenge eh..
jaroyan over 14 years ago
I can see now that Calvin is slightly less evil than I. I would have made the people I truly despise much larger so I could watch them die slowly.

Hey Indy Man
did you watch the Indy Race yesterday? Quite a first lap!!!!

gillbillvolume1 over 14 years ago
I don’t think Calvin would make a Suzie.. every time he mixes Suzi and snow it turns out to be a disaster for him..lol
billdi Premium Member over 14 years ago
calvin’s dark side can get really dark – his approach to snowmen is unique, bizarre, imaginative, great.
gillbillvolume1 over 14 years ago
My Favorite Calvin Snowman was the one with the holes in his back and the icecream scoop and all the other Snowmen were holding snow cones..lol

Is there enough snow to go around?

Looks like Calvin is getting ready for therapy. “Calvin, what would you say to your dad if he was sitting right here?” Talk to the snowman….

“The ones I really hate are small so they’ll go faster.”
Personally, I don’t think I’d want to get Calvin mad…
dexter_greycells over 14 years ago
If you really hate someone, you would want to ensure that they suffer for as long as possible. Calvin’s got it all wrong making them shorter…
comixmaster1000 over 13 years ago
Moe is probably the fat one in the last panel.
