Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 05, 2011

There’s a thought, Calvin!

Just a one-sentence comment for today:

This “snow goon” series is clearly an exceedingly profound allegorical drama with far-reaching implications regarding the abominable coldness of evil; the unintended ramifications of our unwise actions which can easily snowball; the heartless, cold-blooded nature of evil’s manifestations; the capacity of evil to manipulate our imaginations by snowing us with an avalanche of fears; evil’s abhorrence for an environment of warmth; the insufficiency of our feeble attempts to close the door on evil or to hide from it out in the open; evil’s overriding pervasiveness and its tenacity in following us; the ability of evil to sustain itself and propagate in a dormant, numbing environment devoid of life and growth; the futility of our attempts to control and destroy evil; the inability of others to recognize evil’s true nature; the depraved, destructive, heartless, and nefarious intensity of evil’s chilling, icy, wintry grip on………

Just kidding. There are times when we shouldn’t look too hard for a deep underlying meaning, and we should just sit back and laugh.

–Hobbes

Has Calvin now more abililties to bring dead things to life? He should try it! I wouldn’twant to decide, whom I will awake and whom not!

Just saw today’s Lio strip. C’mon, Calvin, he can get along with the evil snowman – why can’t you?

Calvin, Hobbes, Lio and Suzie could gang up on him and he wouldn’t stand a snowball’s chance in…

Mom will take care of it….she already fussed at Calvin for building it smack on the front door step where she couldn’t get out.

Give Hobbes time. He’ll come up with an idea!

G’Morning, Grog, Marg & Mike!

No doubt Calvin was a bigger fan of the Grinch.

How could you not love Frosty?!? Happy Birthday!

Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠

Hide until spring and let the sun solve your problem.

“and if he didn’t kill mom, she’d have a fit about the water on the floor”. Only Calvin could come up with this as a possible complication to his plan. You gotta love it………..

I’d throw a blanket over him first so he can’t tell where you’re coming from, then get him with the icicle!

a bucket or two of hot water should do the trick

Feed it popcorn…

2 words, BLOW DRYER!!!

**Good morning Marg! Good morning Fran! Good Morning L’Wolf! Good Morning Grog!**

I don’t want to ruin it for anyone but this does involve a leaf blower and a lot of gravel.

I wait, what’s the idea of Hobbes!

Take dad’s car out of the garage and put the pedal to the metal. A straight on hit will return him to the scattered snowflakes from which he was born. Dad won’t mind.

Hobbes! Talking about killing Frosty! Why, you’re nothing more than an accessory to a murder! I never thought you had it in you.

Lure the goon to the snow cone stand.

I seem to recall that Frosty melted when he was coerced into running around.

Come to think of it, another story I was told as a child taught me that making tigers run around a tree causes them to turn into BUTTER (just don’t name a restaurant after the main character in that story).

So we now have a solution for taking out Hobbes, if he ever gets out of line…

In The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the universe I believe they recommend cherry syrup and a long straw.

Maybe Calvin can dismember him and freeze him for use in the summer. But somehow I don’t think that Calvin would be a good dismemberer???

Kind of reminds me of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice … just needs music.

Some people are so horrible evil, that you can’t help to get rid of them in a good way, What would you do, when your life is threatened and you can’t help in any other way?

Just remember to drive the icicle through his frozen heart Calvin. That is the only way to truely dispatch an evil snowman.

I believe Frosty perished in a hot house for plants by an evil magician. Calvin is there a hot house for plants nearby?

Hobbes must be a (sub-)tropical tiger–he sure doesn’t have much experience with snow (and evil snow goons).

Santa brought him back.

Lets try some catchy snow man music and get him dancing until he melts .Wait a minute how do we know this evil thing is a male it might be a female like a great big really angry Suzie.

Notice the high level of concern for Mom, if he doesn’t kill her she will be mad about the water on the floor. Classy.

Did anyone see Red and Rover yesterday? Snoopy finally got the Red Baron.

I remember that story about turning tigers to butter, too.

Always thought that story was about ingenuity and the ability to think outside the box…things Calvin has in abundance.

I am impressed that Calvin is trying to avoid trouble with mom. It is not that often that Calvin worries about what would actually get him in trouble!

@Bluewolfmike, don’t forget he just had a run-in with Mom yesterday…

Just a one-sentence comment for today:

—-

You’re mad! Mad, I say!

;-)

Calvin didn’t expect it to be evil??? He brought it to life with the power of snow demons!!!

:-D

Just wait for Dad to come home. His withering glare and brutal sarcasm will destroy him immediately.

wow hobbes how did you make up that list? (look at the top to see what I mean folks)

Frosty is no problem, allow humidity to increase and Frosty will slip slide away. Or Mom will apply salt. Frosty will go with the flow!!

Wizard of Id brought Frosty to life today with unexpected results!!

@ BuzzDog: SAMBOS! We used to try and get my mom to tell that story all the time. She got very tired of it and began to refuse. Then she found a book. Now we try it with the grandkids and she just hands them the book to read themselves. :)

Lio and Calvin would make a great comic strip :-)

Snowmen ain’t so tough, you can take him. Their ability to reform themselves using the power of your imagination is the biggest problem.

I loved ‘Little Black Sambo’ as a kid. I had a small comic book style version, and the characters were East Indian, where tigers would naturally be found.

Marg, Been sittin’ here trying to think of that book. Thank you , I had it when I was in grade school. Now days ,one would be throwin’ in jail for havin’ it

You know………….

Loved the cartoon! What a perfect solution for Calvin to try!

Well, a few months ago, Hobbes did make the comment about how he prefers his dinner to be “scared and running”!!!!! (That has to be one of my favorite C&H comics of all time!)

Frosty wasn’t put in the green house: He was keeping Karen company while she warmed up, when the evil magician locked them in.

Hobbes, thanks.

It was global warming that killed Feisty. Not ice picks, sunspots, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, pelosi breath, incandescent light bulbs, nuclear weapons, tiger in the tank, or imaginary friends …

Global warming … yeah, that’s it …

Say g’night, Feisty

Whew … kinda hot in here …

in Michigan there once was a restaurant chain named sambo’s and they played off of that story.

There’s an ad showing for HP Ink, featuing a snowman sweating as it gets hotter and hotter.

schnee stinkt nicht !

Time for a Sundance Festival.

use susie as bait!

Nope!They killed him throwing him to the sun!

boiling water!
