Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 17, 2024

Tragic and short lives.

Not very bright snowmen made by a not very bright kid. Makes sense.

wow, that’s a new one. Bill Waterson never dissapoints.

Looks like a snow covered fire hydrant.

snow for brains, what do you expect?

Jeez, you’d think that they’d teach that important fact in snow-paleontology school.

Creationism must be a common belief among snowmen for this reason.

Does he expect to find T. Rex in his back yard.

“Venus is a “little bright”" – Judge Harold T. Stone.

Is it a Shiverasourus he’s looking for?

At least they have more time to contemplate their existence than an adult mayfly.

So no Snow Jurassic Park then?

Try digging in permafrost!

Calvin is not a merciful creator…

The manufactured is never any brighter than it’s manufacturer (barely veiled reference to A.I.).

Neither is the creator.

Cal sometimes is the complete pragmatist. He starts something and when it turns out to be off base he simply accepts it and moves on.

They shouldn’t think of it as melting. They should think of it as going with the flow.

If they would just put Calvin in a creative writing class, his GPA would soar.

Sounds like someone is getting a snow job.

The original waterheads.

They have an ice cube for a brain.

Snowmen tend to be a little flakey.

I could never get too old for this comic. I’ve read these since 1985.!

They are bright in the sunshine

Sad undertale music plays

We all “melt” sooner or later.

LOL… maybe Hobbes will have additional witty responses tomorrow.

Not only that, snow dinosaurs are hard to spot in the surrounding snow

Calvin isn’t being his usual genius self. He should know that snowman fossils include buttons, coal and a carrot.

What are glaciers if not snow fossils?

p.s. It amazes me that there are fossils of footprints in wet sand.

Snow dinosaurs don’t leave fossils, and no fossils is exactly what we have found. Thus proving the existence of snow dinosaurs!

Calvin’s broad knowledge of things like Paleontology suggests he is actually a Genius who should be in College level classes by now.

you may not go all the way back to the dinosaurs, but core samples from arctic and antarctic glaciers can go back quite some time, 850,000 years according to a quick google
