    I think that has happened to all of us when we were kids.

    I think we all hate that too.

    The cold will get you every time. And the speed factor that increases with age.

    This is a correlary to the rule that, “when your hands get really greasy, your nose will itch like crazy.”

    Today’s comic illustrates in a very nice way one of Murphy’s laws.

    I was just musing on how the comics aren’t funny any more. Bring back more good old ones.

    We did things abit differently when I was a kid. Those snowbank whizzes became an art form of sorts.

    Calvin’s way is far more socially acceptable, tedious and boring.

    I have an alternative version of this: Having the same urge after putting on full PPE (our term for gowns, gloves, sometimes masks)and starting a complicated procedure when I work with biological specimens.

    When I was in the military this always happened when the temperature was cold, we were out in the field and after I got all into the sleeping bag. Never failed!

    If there were a next panel it would look like those stickers people have on their trucks.

    That usually only happens to me when I’m winter-camping 100 miles from the “facilities”

    grazer: “…his name in the Snow?”
    “It was Lady Favisham’s hand
    writing.”

    Punch line to an old joke.

    My mother trained me to go to the bathroom just before I went anywhere!

    Always use the facilities before donning full HAZMAT gear.
    Sweat wicking stockings,leggings and top.
    Tyvek overalls,hood, booties and nitrile gloves, all duct taped closed.
    Scott airpak, radio and full face mask.
    Over suit with full head hood, boots and gloves, again taped closed.
    Rescue harness, rescue line, supplied air line
    Roughly 80 lbs., plus whatever tools the job calls for.

    This is a great one. I love the nose and hand prints on the window. The way in which Watterson conveys that Calvin has just realized something. And the different expressions as he undresses.

    It only lacks Hobbes nagging,”Why didn’t you think of that BEFORE you went out?”

    HAHAHA!

    At least Mom didn’t have to dress and undress him. Calvin is actually trained well in one area.

    being in the medical field one has access to a nifty device called a condom catheter….the trick is not to get it tangled up with your hair
