Hi Polly
If you look closely at the first frame of yesterday’s strip, you will see that the word balloons are criss-crossed, and the second one points to Calvin, not Hobbes. So the bad idea of throwing snowballs at the snowman was Calvin’s.
Hobbes: Thanks for comment re the crossed balloons. From my recollections, a favorite tiger aphorism was the one about a tiger’s tail being like a necktie for the butt…and a favorite bit of wisdom was the comment that life is just one epiphany after another (altho’ I think the tiger may have had tongue firmly implanted in cheek on that one).
I frequently play it. It’s just about my favorite acoustic guitar song to play. Lennon’s ‘You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away’, and Paul’s ‘Norwegian Wood’ get a lot time on my acoustic, too. Now, if I could just figure out how to do Ringo on guitar……

Just wanted to set the record straight regarding the efficacy of tiger wisdom. It’s generally right up there with tiger aphorisms.

Wouldn’t “Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goon” be a great name for a heavy-metal band?
Hobbes Premium Member over 13 years ago
I agree, rayannina. Especially if the band is made up of a bunch of flakes.

Here comes the sun, doo da doo doo Here comes the sun, and I say It’s alright
Little darling It’s been a long, cold, lonely winter Little darling It feels like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun Here comes the sun, and I say It’s alright
Little darling The smiles returning to the faces Little darling It seems like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun Here comes the sun, and I say It’s alright
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes Sun, sun, sun, here it comes Sun, sun, sun, here it comes Sun, sun, sun, here it comes Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Little darling I see the ice is slowly melting Little darling It seems like years since it’s been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun and i say, It’s alright X2

Is Hobbes looking into the “Frosty’s” future ??
Kerovan over 13 years ago
And thus the term “Snow Goon” is immortalized in comic history.
Rayannina I agree completely. Awesome band name going unclaimed. You taking applications?
Magnamax that was priceless.

“Deranged Killer Monster Snow Goon” a new film by Tobe Hooper coming soon to a drive inn near you.

Maybe Calvin needs to build another snowman….but this time a super snow hero!
kab2rb over 13 years ago
I don’t think Calvin would build a superhero he likes vilians.

“Maybe Calvin needs to build another snowman….but this time a super snow hero!”
Nahh…that one would turn evil too.

Haha, Hobbes - flakes.

Snow goons? Sounds like a good name for a rock group.

leave it to a snowman made by Calvin to add another head and more arms to turn himself into a monster.

No doubt Calvin has it on his Netflix list, along with “Killer Vixen Snow Babes” or whatever that other movie was.

Going to hear from the producers of “The Thing With Two Heads”. At least, so far, neither head looks like Ray Milland OR Rosey Grier.

Calvin has become an expert in the taxonomy of snow…
hopeandjoy2 over 13 years ago
They need to build more snowpeople quick to fend off the monster mutant snowman or surround him.
jrowell over 13 years ago
Next time, Calvin will think twice before summoning the snow demons. Snowmen were never meant to be living beings.

Hey, we all put on weight this time of year.
But, on second thought, I didn’t grow am extra head and arm.

Here comes the sun was song from Abbey Road by the Beatles.
I did not write that but John Lennon did.

Actually, George Harrison wrote it - John Lennon wasn’t even on the recording, being in recovery from a car crash.
