Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 22, 2013

Actually, 3 days.

Being good is hard for Calvin.

Santa is a concept,By which we measure our pain…(Sorry, John)

I never thought of gargling my peas.

Face it, Calvin. You’re getting coal in your stocking. It’s your destiny.

NoWay is he gonna make it!

Just curious, are you in the States or across the pond?

I know how Calvin feels. Instead of the 250 pound bomb he’s carrying he gets a load of coal. Been getting those for years….

Hope @MayKitten get’s her 100 proof Rocket Fuel. Remember, when it comes to liquor…better to share than receive…or you will stagger and weave…

LOL, Mr. Watterson.

It would have rhymed better if he had said “Sincerely, St. Nick”.

Applause!

Merry Christmas All.

Being good is pretty hard, Calvin. But trying to fake it may be even harder.

When only the wellbehaved get presents, the others, who are not so good become jealous and you must fear, they do more evel deeds in their rage and anger. To give them a chance and show them, how they can get presents too, doing good deeds, that will help them perhaps on a better way!!

one of the best!

Hobbes would share his presents.

The nightmare on Calvin’s street. Must have had too much sugar before bedtime.

Watterson was a great poet.

This is great! My youngest son is 14 and still has trouble behaving, he drives his sisters crazy, makes them scream and that drives me crazy.

Not to quibble, but “It was written by hand” would’ve fit the meter better.

Don’t think you’re gonna make it either, Calvin. Where’s Hobbes??

Poor Calvin he will explode right after Christmas hardest he has to work being a good boy.

If Santa changed the rules in the ‘80s, I guess that would explain why today the Wall Street bankers get the fat bonuses at year’s end for tanking the economy.

“It was all just a dream, and yet, perhaps nay;It may be that Santa, sly old elf, in his way;Was saying ‘Just be Calvin, forever, and a day’.”

He can’t be good any other time. So I can see why it’d be so hard.

I don’t normally do star ratings on comic strips but if I did then this strip would get TEN stars!xxx

Another reason I did not believe in Santa. It seemed that the really mean and rotten kids got all the great stuff for Christmas.

GREAT STRIP!

Awesome strip! Love the rhyming.

WOW! So, not so much sugar plums for you, huh?

For this hard trying he MUST get a present!

that would be awesome if that was true

Your German should be very good.

love reminicing go Calvin> Love to watch U squirm!

My husband!

My favorite C&H of all time!

For the anti-religious free-looting elitist Left, the above is not a dream. This is their vision of Santa Clause and life.
