Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 16, 1990
Transcript:
Calvin: There. Now we need to get this on the roof. I've been thinking. They say Santa knows if you've been bad or good, right? Hobbes: Right. Calvin: But think how many kids there are in the whole world! Nobody could be watching every kid every single minute! I mean, Santa's old! He probably takes naps! The way I figure it, Santa must just make a few random checks on us once or twice a week. Hobbes: That's all? Calvin: Sure. He'd catch enough bad kids that way to scare everyone else into being good most of the time. He'd create the impression that he's watching more than he really is! Hobbes: Pretty shrewd. Calvin: Yeah, but now that I'm on to him, I'm going to go smack Susie with a snowball! If I do it quick, the odds of Santa watching me at that exact moment are virtually nil! Hobbes: What if Susie tells on you? Calvin: Ooh, I didn't think of that! She's a girl, so she probably would snitch. Phooey. Well I sure hop Santa's watching now, seeing as I'm being so good. Hobbes: Unwillingly good, but good nonetheless.
