Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 12, 2019

Hobbes, nobody likes a snitch.

got any other bright ideas, Calvin?

Those of you who think that there is still hope for Santa to visit Calvin, you are loonatics

“You bit and kicked.” And you were just an innocent bystander, Hobbes?

Hobbes doesn’t hv a pen and a paper, Calvin….. u r safe…..plus its your word against his word in Santa court…..

Santa’s gonna get a kick out of listening to a tiger.

Calvin, Santa has been watching you all year and besides Hobbes started the fight with his rolling of the eyes. You’re off the hook on this one.

Santa is noting all of this carefully, Calvin.

Santa’s elves are wrapping your gift bottle of 200 Prozac tablets right now!!

Gonna be another fight in a minute…

An imaginary friend is writing an imaginary letter to an imaginary Santa. Hmmm …

Calvin isn’t really sorry for fighting, he just wants to maximize his loot.

Hobbes has you over the barrel now, Calvin!

Hobbes does not need to bother with blackmail. Santa knows everything and his list is quite thorough.

Teaching tigers to write is a bad idea.

Awww – Hobbes is showing Calvin how “leveraged negotiation” works.

A lesson that Calvin will surely take to heart, when he grows up and becomes a “Billionaire Businessman” and “Leader Of The Free World”.

Before there was elf on a shelf …

Calvin should reconsider. Comic books could be part of the loot on Christmas morning.

Calvin attempting to use an apology as a transaction. No can do, buddy.

Hobbes, the whistleblower.

He knows If you’ve been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake.

I love Hobbes! Nobody busts Calvin at being a selfish tyrant like Hobbes does!

Santa has contacts in the NSA (No Such Agency).

It’s beginning to look a lot like blackmail….

Legend says that Santa Claus lives on Ear Mountain, where an enormous pair of rabbit ears let him hear everything children say. So, wouldn’t he have heard Calvin discuss this fight?

At least, in the last panel, Hobbes didn’t reply: “That can be arranged…”

Santa knows if you have been bad or good. He doesn’t need a tiger to send him a letter.

Hobbes!!! Are you the “Whistle-blower”????
