   Tiger sitting in the snow,
   Playing checkers even though
   Dad meant frolic, skip, and shout,
   Turn somersaults, and run about,

   Get any cardiovasculish
   Exercise; but they are foolish
   And though the wind is cold and sting-y,
   They seek instead to call out “King me!”

   No coldness can’t stop the play.

   hey that checker game was for the world championship title.
   I wonder if they are playing chess anyway: I count 25 black and white squares only instead of the necesarry 64 ones.

   No, it’s checkers…being played with Calvin Rules.

   Why does Hobbes need a scarf ? He is already wearing a fur coat.

    @ 4deerinmyyard;

    That was clever, thanks for sharing! Your name almost sounds like a line from a poem as well.

    4deerinmyyard that was GREAT! thank you, for sharing. I have a question, do you just come up with this when you see it, i mean does it just click and you type it? Or do you sit there for a while and think about it?

    this was a cute comic. i remembered my bro and myself did this once, not playing checkers, but something else.

    Hobbes looks a little surprised in the last panel. Indeed, Calvin played his king knight instead of his queen bishop. Tsk, tsk. Now he looses the game and the championship.

    Oh my goodness! Calvin and Hobbes play the checker game outside while there is soooooooo cold. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Why don’t they play the chess game instead? Calvin should have more knowledge how to play the chess game.

    Let us all enjoy the brief tranquility of the moment lest we forget that
    Calvin+Hobbes+Snow = CHAOS!

    There have been some comments lately hopefully pointing to some Calvin-created-snowmen, I really am hoping that we see some of those before winter is over.

    Although it is march…

    It’s not like Calvin doesn’t get enough exercise getting into mischief all the time. The kid is actually playing quietly for a change, and the parents STILL aren’t happy. No wonder Calvin retreats into his brain so much.

    The other squares are with the missing fingers.

    Good thing they’re not playing Risk.

    If you need a fix of Calvin’s Snowmen, just google “Calvin’s Snowmen” and you find a large number of sites to reminisce on. I just grabbed this one: http://tinyurl.com/czrg7z

    Pause the music at the top of the left frame and you can go directly to more than 20 of them….Enjoy!

    Why not a vigorous, stirring game of Calvin-Ball?

    i did not think of that. his parents are crazy, the kid is quite and they complaine, he is loud he complains. maybe they just wanted the house for themselfs. who knows.

    tabbylynn, if you remember (when they went camping for a week), Dad is a really big fan of fresh air, but neither Mom or Calvin are. Natch, it’s Dad pushing Calvin out. Too bad that Calvin didn’t build a snow fort across the driveway, or one of his special snowgoon sculptures. That would be poetic justice for Dad! :-)

    in the third panel, Calvin and HObbes pondering: “Dad’s right! Playing (Monopoly) outside isn’t a bad idea, we could get some fresh air at the same time!” LoL
