Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 12, 2013

Nice.

Always prepared, that Calvin

What Calvin isn’t telling Hobbes is that Moe is hot on his trail because Calvin clobbered him with snow balls yesterday.

Go Calvin.

Precaution is always good, Calvin!

Clever, Calvin!

In Calvin’s case this precaution has merit.

Today, Calvin seems to be doing something that borders on insanity. Does that make him hopping mad?

When you leave footprints in the snow, it doesn’t take long for the trail to grow cold.

Calvin needs to take a step back and think about the logic of what he’s trying to do.

Perhaps this is only the first leg of Calvin’s journey.

You can’t get very far by hopping, compared to walking. Only half as many feet.

Etc.

But Calvin if Moe sees these foot prints ,he will want to torment such easy pickings as a one legged kid.Back track and watch to see if hes following you,if he is you had better use those snow balls you saved.

Good exercise, anyway – hopping on one foot in the snow.

Heh I did the same thing as a child … noone following me either, but it was fun to imagine someone trying to track me

It’s not paranoia if they really are after you.

To quote the incomparable Dr Johnny Fever, “Being paraniod is only smart when someone’s out to get you!”

Paranoia is one of our stronger genetic programs …. it’s helped us survive this long…. but I’m sure down the road Calvin will need fully automatic weapons as well.

Better to be a little more paranoid than necessary, than not to be paranoid enough…

IHOP Moe doesn’t find Calvin or he’ll be flat as a pancake.If Calvin gets caught, he won’t have a leg to stand on (on which to stand).

That kid’s always up to something. Lol

You’d be paranoid, too, if everyone was out to get YOU!

“If someone’s after you, paranoia is just good sense.” — Dr. Johnny Fever

Oh nooooooo. Has Calvin turned into a Survivalist/Libertarian?

That’s how Danny lost his dad in the maze in The Shining.

Daniel Boone he ain’t

What?!You never did this as a kid?

I would love to see Hobbes’ paw prints in the snow!

Calvin, I think mom can still tell that those are your footprints.

Ah, the SWEETNESS of life when we’re young! I hope to SEE Calvin growing up, and having a good life like SOME of us!

I know who’s looking for Calvin – the enraged neighbor who just discovered the weird Harold snowmen/beings our boy Cal made in his front yard….Hobbes, Calvin’s lawyer, will deny all before the court of mom and dad, needless to say…

Could be mom on his trail. Or Susie.

Probably Susie is folowing Calvin.I would not ne surprised if they got married.

Calvin is too smart to be six…

Just because you’re paranoid, doesn’t mean someone isn’t out to get you.
