Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 21, 2014

The snow also makes her immune to your charms.

Calvin, its about time you learn to recognize an enraged female. As soon as you do…RUN!

And besides that is not much of a compliment .

Your cheeks should be aglow as well, Calvin.That bruise forming around your eye on the other hand…

5th panel, Hobbes comes in:- Watcha doin’?

Calvin. “I was trying to be helpful. I thought her hair needed the odd tweak. The girl was having a bad hair day” mmph I’ll not bother in future.

sure…..!!!

Another Pyrrhic victory for our hero.

<3 love!!! so cute together

Be glad you didn’t waste moeny on flowers.

They are however, quite adept at handing out knuckle sandwiches.

Man Susie looks mad!

Calvin and Susie will have a intense courtship followed by marriage and several energetic children.

Better curb your antagonistic enthusiasm towards Susie Perkins… she’s a future SI swimsuit model.

What a jerk.

What an awesome face on Susie in panel 3. Love it.

Back-handed compliments like that are really nothing more than subtle insults! — i.e. pieces of “flattery” that we can do without.
