Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 31, 2020

Calvin, you will never succeed as a criminal if you leave so much evidence.

Maybe next time he should have Hobbes make the snowball.

Now if Calvin threw a snowball at Susie barehanded, what evidence would there be? Reddish hands because the hands handled cold snow while trying to keep warm at the same time.

Susie might grow up to be a detective or a medical examiner.

yup Calvin – the problem with a signature style is you never get to sign-off.

Does this count as their first lovers’ quarrel?

No, not the first one, it’s a long story.

Maybe those were there before

At least he didn’t miss this time…

Susie is going to be the newest “Law and Order” star.

she got the answer from a “Perry Mason” episode

Judge Susie, you’re guilty.

Take the gloves of first, throw, put gloves back on….

CSI: Susie

These two will be a perfect match another 15 years down the road……… she already has him somewhat housebroken.

You are so busted, Calvin!

Next time just have “Thrown by Calvin” imprinted on the snowball.

too bad you didn’t leave the duplicates around a few more days, you could have blamed one of them…

This time Calvin deserved to be decked. Sometimes Susie lays one on him because of a snide remark.

Calvin needs a good defense lawyer. You know… If the mittens don’t fit, you must acquit.

Some people never learn.

“Calvin & Hobbes” ended about three years before “Law & Order: SVU” began. Could Susie have been the inspiration for Detective Olivia Benson?!?

Where do they live where they can find mud in the winter?!? Doesn’t happen here in the true northern midwest of MN…

At least he nailed her a good one.

Susie will make a fine detective someday.

Calvin, take a moment to look at yourself in that last panel, and then ask that question again.

She’s trying out to be a detective for Dick Tracy.

From the last panel, it looks like a postmortem may be required. Susie will be the medical examiner.

Watterson has always said he based Suzie upon his wife

CSI: Comic strips

Calvin put gravel in the snowball?!!!! That is downright dangerous….Susie should beat him senseless.

“Pieces of gravel?” That is a cheap shot! You deserve that pounding, Calvin!

Suzie’s signature is a face-plant fist-imprint.

She’s a future in forensics.
