Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 16, 2015

50 leaves, a bargain

Well, they seem to be fixing the problem. We haven’t had a decent winter here in six years.

Any dispute arising out of the contract which is not mutually settled will be dealt with in Calvin’s court of Justice

Q: Why do Eskimos wash their clothes in Tide?A: Because it’s too cold out Tide.

I guess their species can adjust the tilt of a planet anytime they want, so they assume Earthlings can too.

Caveat Emptor.

Just wait a few months, and I’ll give you back double your payment. One hundred leaves.

Tell them to visit the Southern hemisphere for six months.

Take ’em sled riding down Suicide Hill…

You can “hear” the intergalactic intonation/inflection of their speech by the style of lettering.

Worst deal since $24 in beads for Manhattan.

Yeah, yeah, I know that’s not really accurate. Relax, it’s a joke.

The axial tilt is readily apparent – didn’t they pay for an orbit inspection before closing?

There is only one who could bring this planet up to code and it isn’t one of us.

Not too many strips left before the whole thing ends. Very sad….

Is there a gender or religious significance to the star and moon symbols on the characters?

omg YES i love this rerun of comix

Yes….Yes…..chuckle….chuckle….!

Geez! You’re the ones who can see the place from far away. Do we have to do everything?

Hey Aliens their is always Australia

Earth’s axial tilt is easily measurable from orbit, this is like visiting a house, buying it, then complaining after that there is no glass in any of the window panes.

“Bring the planet up to code”?

In spite of what humans think they can or cannot do, the planet itself will make a correction in the future and start all over! Will that work for you?

What! No comments about Climate Change/Global Warming?!?

There should be a movie made about Calvin and his feud with the aliens.Or is there already? It should be animated too. It’s more of a tribute to Bill Watterson that way.xxx

They were crappy leaves too, as I recall. Calvin got an F on the assignment.

Give them another 50 leaves so they can…wait…..

Didn’t the aliens fail to provide Calvin with his 50 leaves? It may just be my faulty memory.

The sun is always out during the day. Just sometimes behind clouds.

Tell ’em to go to the equator.

If they stay long enough, they may catch a “code.”

i’ve never seen an outhouse w a star -u learn sumpin new ever day. yup.
