Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 08, 2012

I’d take it, I’m not a gift man.

Oh, Calvin

I love the swiftness of Calvin’s move

Nope.

Oh yes, love and peace!

I see he had second thoughts and threw the letter away.Reverse psychology on Santa is pure suicide this close to Xmas.

love C&H every day….…..

Next, he might try Reverse Reverse Psychology

Give him a break…he’s seven. Even though the strip is 30 years old, the kid isn’t.

Who are you trying to kid, Calvin?

Nice try… didn’t quite had the effect you were hoping for…

With enough disappointments in life, Calvin world probably grow up to be a (very) bitter person… like Dr. John Becker.

Just deliver the love and peace in a new Porsche.

Maybe he did and that’s why the strip ended. Kind of like in puff the magic dragon. Poor Hobbes

Calvin never grows up. He ends up in the young cartoon home with Charlie Brown and friends. Nobody from Gasoline Alley is allowed to visit.

Ohh, way to not get us love and peace, Calvin!

Been shopping lately? Love and peace?

That’s ONE idea out of the window…

LOL xxx

Really, who was she?

When one is finished with something, one must chuck it over one’s shoulder.

Probably worth the risk, though

Number Six…..nice. Was watching news this am, and a reporter went out on the street asking people on the street about the true meaning of Christmas; i.e., where was Jesus Born, I cannot believe some of the answers. We are a Bible illiterate society, but still want to participate in (as one government official put it) “gift giving day.”

If more people lived by that Book, we wouldn’t have all the war and hate. It teaches the law of love and peace.

Now that this column has been ruined, can we assume you won’t be back?

‘Wad’ is Calvin doing?

Love and peace is risky; love and piece is risque!

Ominous!

…idiot – it’s the reason we have Christmas…now if you’re celebrating the winter solstice, or any of the ancient traditons, you might have an argument, but Calvin is concerned with Christmas…

@thebird55,Yours: “The upshot is that that is uplifting.”Mine: The upshot is that Calvin’s day is on the upswing.

“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.”

Why would Calvin ever become mature? He is just glorious as he is. Let him be

hey. it looked good on paper!

Such happy people.

Try to mean it sincerely Calvin!

I’m guessing he’ll ask for a flamethrower next.

Actually, peace with Moe would be worth a pile of toys!!

And Calvin knows it.

How come such a nice cartoon turns into a forum for all of us to show poor taste ignorance and the need to try and influence someone else s believes?Do what you have to, I guess.Im going to keep getting my Calvin and Hobbes fix every day if I can. Merry Xmas Ill drink to that.

Merry Christmas and God bless everyone!

I apologize to all commentors for my retort to Omnius earlier. It was wrong of me. To explain why I did it:-I have tumors in my skull that give me massive migraines, which in turn make me irritable and impatient. Such was the case today. It would have been better for me to not read the comments and just stay in bed. I don’t know how my wife puts up with me on days like today.-Secondly, I feel no need to defend religion (as it’s conduct and teachings are often indefensible); only occasionally feel like defending God (as the creator of space-time is capable of defending himself), more like want to clear up misunderstandings; but often want to defend the Bible, as it is readily available to all as an open book, is long and needs careful study, and I feel derogatory characterizations are usually due to not wanting to understand it.-Third, another foible I fall prey to is the ego-trip many of us commentors have: believing we are authorities of what we think we know. This was clearly evident in my comment earlier.-I’m sorry you were subjected to all that baggage from me today. Tomorrow will perhaps be better. Please forgive me.

Agreed…

Oh… I thought you sincerely meant it…

That will not work! haha
