Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 11, 2012

Nice try.

He sounds very competent to me, Calvin. You’re not getting one this year either.

So no more flame throwers?

Sounds like somebody needs to learn the difference between a “wish list” and an “order form”.

Cute kid. Bad attitude. I love it.

Lots of people might want these things.But Calvins not ready for these kind of toys.But Space man Spiff ??

Calvin does not realise the awesome power and lethality of smelly old socks

Look on the bright side, Cal. You could make a sock monkey or puppet.

Socks and shirts are fine, you’ll see!

This is explain why I get missile and launcher last Christmas. I was wondering, because I ask for t-shirt and socks. What should I do with those missile?

You should read “Eats, Shoots and Runs” It’s about the important comma.

more try boy’s….

Hummm……why does that sound so familiar? Calvin! You been watching tv news lately?

Imagine if Calvin DID get his nuclear missiles!

@dukedoug

I’m curious why he/she thinks that was a negative comment. I guess some people just look for negativity. (Not to be confused with Nativity) :-)

GOOD Idea!! I was just thinking this past weekend that I needed a Jeff Dunham (the other white meat) fix.

It’s “If his nose WERE any higher (the subjunctive mood is required here because it’s a contrary-to-fact situation), he’d DROWN (there’s no such word as ‘drownd.’”) Yes, I’m a Grammar Nazi — what of it?

Some people wish for peace on Earth, others wish for nuclear missiles.

Nobody ever seems to get their “peace on Earth” wish fulfilled.

That’s right, Calvin… You tell him!

LOL xxx

at least he doesn’t use " get’s "

@ rv77ax -———- :)

Why didn’t my @ light up in blue?

Sorry Calvin – just because he doesn’t deliver exactly what you ask for, that doesn’t mean he’s incompetent. ;)

HO! HO! HO! to you, Calvin. Santa may put COAL in your stocking this year.

@ Dukedoug and artybee, there is more than a lack of familiarity with grammar wrong with someone who uses a cartoon site to make political comments. I doubt that any of us can fix it.

I like how Calvin holds up the paper with his writing and examines it. Watterson is a storytelling genius.

@rv77ax send it to Calvin’s house! He said that they live at the E on United States, can’t be hard to find!

Why doesn’t Santa “deliver” missiles to those on his “naughty” list (and I use the word “deliver” in the present launch tense…no apostrophes required)?

Yep, they could be. If they only would think about what the apostrophe is suppose to do, maybe they would get it…or not.

Dear Calvin, the original Santa Claus (St. Nicolas of Ancyra) gave needed gifts—specifically, dowries to three poor sisters so they could get married. Sounds like your socks and shirt are right in line with the original intent.

I like how he licks the envelope.

Be thankful for what you get sonny,

What does Calvin need a long range thermo-nuclear “smart” missile and launcher for?Oh yeah, to take all the “stupid” out of Washington D.C.

Punctuation seems to be a problem for all people regardless of political stripe. For instance, should I have put a comma after people and before regardless?

Totally agree, leagleagle and sharuniboy seem to be comparing the size of their… brains, no one cares how smart they think they are. For god’s sake leagleagle is a former telemarketer turned “paraleagal”, with the huge brain they’re packing you would think they went to law school (which in itself is no measure of intellegence). No one bother to point out any spelling or puncuation mistakes in my comment… don’t care anyways.

I really hope I used the word comma and not apostrophe in my response to your comment. If I did use the wrong word please forgive an old neo-facist. (That’s a joke.)

enjoyed the comments today hope santa has the time to read them too hes got to have a giggle now and then too also know how his kids think

Incompetency is by no means limited to charitable organizations – consider how well most governments are run….they also give a little back but take most of it for themselves….“Thou shalt not steal”, “Thou shalt not covet what belongs to thy neighbors”….

Calvin’s gone from putting Santa on the defensive regarding cheap elf labor to downright insulting him by telling him to “get with the program” when it comes to gift giving! How does Calvin think this is going to put even one single thing on his wish list underneath his Christmas tree this year?!? To avoid nothing but a lump of coal, it would probably be best to rethink yet again this particular letter to Santa!

Santa did not get Calvin’s order mixed up with anyone else’s.

I can tell you: no one ordered socks and a shirt.

Calvin should make do with what he gets. “Sock it to them!”

I bet Calvin becomes a terrorist when he grows up.

Our favorite brat’s commentary in that last box reminds me of my HMO – Molina. (No joke)

Last frame: Perfect description of the Obama admin.

C&H is a Politics Free Zone (PFZ).

I guess Calvin doesn’t realize that Santa gives him Socks and a shirt in place of coal, since Calvin would find some way to use it.

You’re right. Actually, I just couldn’t resist being a little cheeky towards the poster whose language I corrected! ;-)

A private was once asked to volunteer for a dangerous mission.He declined because he had only one *
