Nope, a leaf man is nothing like a snowman.

Leaf piles are to be jumped upon

Gee, I like the leafman..

Both Calvin and Waterson have wild imaginations.

No snow yet! So much for trying to create one of your sadistic crazy masterpieces of art.
Puddleglum2 said, 3 months ago

The leaves fall, and whether you rake them into a pile or not, if you ‘leave’ them, they ultimately blow away (into my yard BTW) and are gone. If the snow falls and you make a snowman, ultimately it melts and is gone.

Ladies and Gentalmen, Lets have a warm ” OH PLEASE” for his holiness, Puddles2.
Andy said, 3 months ago

it was worth a try….
also, leaf balls don’t fly as well as snow balls, they will hit the ground before they reach susie :-)

@ merrymarg - I like your new avatar.

Sorry…got side tracked for a minute. I think they should have jumped in the pile.

Hey it looks like those dinosaur toon characters.
Puddleglum2 said, 3 months ago

“OH PLEASE”
What prompted the ‘withering’ sarcasm?
Why don’t you just take it or ‘leave’ it?
LX013 said, 3 months ago

A leafman! Fine idea!
watcha said, 3 months ago

Mishka - seems you try to live up to your avatar.

At least Susie is safe from snowballs for another month!

Leaf piles have the advantage (for a Calvin) that they often contain slugs and other minibeasts.

Speak for yourself Calvin, we already got 10” here in Montreal…

wild wild imagination…. !!
olfart said, 3 months ago

He is the leafman coo coo ca choo.
jrbj said, 3 months ago

As long as they’re at it, C&H should break out the leaf bags and keep on raking.

Puddleglum2, I’d love to leave it, but you keep inflicting it on us. So why don’t you put it in a warm, dark place and save it for us. OH PLEASE DO.
CarolinaGirls said, 3 months ago

Leave Puddleglum2 alone! He’s entitled to post whatever he wants, just like you are…..and I’ve seen plenty of much more inappropriate posts out here!
jbmetalmonster said, 3 months ago

hey wel u cant say he didnt try
a leafman i quite clevr even if it didnt work so wel
RachaelRocks said, 3 months ago

I’ve never made a leafman. Doesn’t look like much fun. Leave piles are to be jumped in, while snow piles are to be made snowman (or used for forts).

Puddleglum2 can post whatever he wants! Unless he posts something rude or profane, who cares? It doesn’t bug me if he wants to put a verse after his post. It shouldn’t bug anyone else either. It’s a free country (for now at least…)

RATS!
Avolunteer said, 3 months ago

If you make a leaf-man you can jump in him, if you make a snow-man it’s pretty hard to do :)
Ivy0730 said, 3 months ago

Great mind thinks alike…
Calvin and Hobbes shared the idea of creat a leafman…
How nice!
Grog said, 3 months ago

His leaf man looks like a melting snowman.
midiranger said, 3 months ago

Lets make it simple: if you know PuddleGlum2 frequently posts a verse or two and it bothers you … skip over his posts. DON’T . . READ … THEM.
Coffee-Turtle said, 3 months ago

cant wait to see Calvin’s snowmen again! =)
Danny Z said, 3 months ago

Obviously, NOT Montana residents!!!

Hee hee… we just got 3 inches over the past few days, and are expecting 3 more….

Come on DOWN!!!
mightaswellbe said, 3 months ago

Here’s a twisted thought.

You can burn a leafman.
Josh said, 3 months ago

Amen Puddleglum 2
Macushlalondra said, 3 months ago

Good idea, those who don’t want to read Puddleglum or Joe Doty’s comments just skip over them. I don’t understand why people have to gripe over this stuff when it’s easier to scroll past it than to take the time to comment that you don’t like their comments!

As for Calvin and Hobbes, I guess where they are it’s not as far along in the year as it is now. We’ve had snow but so far it hasn’t really accumulated much. What a difference from last year when it never stopped snowing from mid November onward.

MULCH PILE MAN!
bald 716 said, 3 months ago

i have never tried to make a leafman, but snowmen & snow forts are a different thing,

if you really want snow calvin, come get ours.

here in the northtowns of buffalo it isn’t too bad, but a few miles south of here they got hammered, some areas are still shoveling out
tamron said, 3 months ago

Realizing who Watterson based the characters names on, and seeing the discussion in the comments seems oddly appropriate.
And might, I like the idea of a burning leaf man!
Randy Gies said, 3 months ago

It’s nice to be young !! I was born and raised in MT and had to live with the snow, I’m now in OK. and still dread the little bit we get here. But then I think of my school teacher sister that teaches up by the arctic circle. BRRRRRRR
Aardvark359 said, 3 months ago

This is America!

PuddleG2 should be allowed to repeatedly post all the lengthy religious prose, bad puns and marginally related song lyrics that he/she wants to.

And all those who hate having to read judgmental, holier-than-thou, religious tripe should be allowed to post just as many comments about annoying it is.

Ain’t America great?

This reminded me of my cousin, who after a few too many at the beach one night, layed on the sand face up. he moved his arms and legs a’la snow angles. he then proceeded to make a string of “sand” angels down a stretch of the beach. he made one seperately that was a little inappropriate, he placed two mounds of sand strategically within the form and called it a “sand honey”.
Susan001 said, 3 months ago

I bet Calvin’s parents have fainted from the shock of their kid’s actually raking leaves!

LOL

IT IS ALIVE!!! BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

(Long live the leaf man!)

“…won’t snow for another month at least…” I wonder if this was originally published in mid-December… If so, I want to move wherever Calvin lives.

Dad will miss his hat!
margueritem said, 3 months ago

LX013, thank you, my friend. You like him much better than the skulls, I think.
