It’s one thing if a 6-yo came up with these. But they’re actually a product of Watterson’s imagination. Maybe it’s a good thing he retired?(Just kidding; I love Watterson’s work and miss him greatly.)
I can’t help but notice a theme here. These look a little like Olympic sports. Maybe it’s something like “Snowman Olympics Gone Wrong”. Nice job Calvin!
We don’t get ESPN here, and I wouldn’t watch golf ifwe did. The juxtaposition of ‘golf’ and ‘interesting’ isthe oxymoron. If golfers walk from hole to hole, itdoes afford some exercise; if they ride in carts, thatgood is nullified. I shouldn’t think it’s a game thatpeople with high blood pressure or a bad heart would be wise to engage in….
A couple months ago I just piled up a couple blocks of snow and stuck in some tree branches- only “snowman” around. A neighbor scolded me and said we’re only supposed to man snowmen that other people WANT to look at.*So who is a snow man for— the creator or the viewer?

It’s a very seldom originality. I wouldn’t value it so much, too!

If only for once would Mom and Dad would recognize the true talent that lies within their son. I can’t waitto see his sand sculptures this summer.

This one has fallen off the cliff. Not funny. Sick. Next are you having this child act out those actions just to shock his parents?

I don’t think they value the focus of your best efforts.

In this ‘day in age’, they probably would not notice. Particularly, if they read ‘Calvin and Hobbes’ !

Your parents love you whether you know it or not, Calvin. It’s Susie that you need to impress.

I don’t like these snowmen, but I like Hobbes working together with Calvin!

One wonders if Watterson’s parents felt the same way. “You’re going to write comic strips for a living???”

I definitely agree. It is morbid but also quite funny.

Only Calvin could turn snowmen into something sadistic.
