Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 28, 2012

Snow walks are better with warm winter shoes!

I like the sound of galoshes in snow.

I hate galoshes, all those buckles take forever to snap.

Gweedo I don’t see you. :-(

Calvin has just had a eureka moment. Onomatopoeia.

@TogThanks for the new word – naming something by the sound it makes, eh? And some people think there’s nothing educational about the comics.

It’s always fun when the snow is higher than your boots.

Tomorrow my son will visit me, I don’t cook goulash, but roast beef with a sauce of red wine!

Hi, Hi!!

And I never even noticed if the sneaker goes sneak, sneak, sneak.

I’m confuses. (Lifetime Floridian).

Thanks, goldenroya. I wrote my “essay” yesterday in response to your Thursday posting, because I thought yours was some of the best-written tongue-in-cheek humor that I had ever read. I wasn’t surprised when some people accidentally took yours literally, because it was very subtle. But I was surprised when a couple of people took mine literally yesterday, since I was trying very hard to use absurd allegory that I thought would be totally transparent.

@LXO13 you walks on branches?

@hazardboy: You were right! Goldenroya’s reply arrived on the 28th. You must be psychic. Your “telegram” posting yesterday was hilarious.

boot, step, reboot, step, boot, reboot, confused stare

Either he suddenly has to pee, or he just realized where the boots get their name from. ;D

Classic. Now all we need is to hear his corduroy pants rubbing together.

@walruscarver2000: Hatching insidious plots? How did you ever find out that we had buried sea turtle eggs in the cemetery?

Another one of life’s questions answered.

@Tog,What is the motto of the state of California?I think you “have found it!” , although Archimedes’ “Eureka!” was a bit more expressive. Calvin’s expression is significantly subdued, so maybe he’s having a senior moment and forgot where he is going! :o)With Calvin’s extensive vocabulary, onomatopoeia is a word he might know.

I wondered why they were called galoshes. Makes me question why I spent all that money on college when the answers are right here : )

Awwwww, How cute!

I don’t mind the snow but I hate the ice. I’ve fell over loads of times.

LOL xxx

I wonder what Galumphs look like? (Jabberwocky).

I can’t wait until the day we retire and can move to a place that gets little — or preferably NO — snow in the wintertime. That would absolutely heavenly for me!

;-)

haha :D

Hey Dogsniff: Are you still on dial-up? Seems like it took you 15 hours to get through today.

When Calvin comes of age and starts liking girls, it may be "gush, gush, gush’….

Osh Kosh Galosh
