Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 07, 2021

Whatever Mothers’ say is reason.

how do you know it’s like water and oil, Calvin, when you don’t pay much attention in class?

Just like you and reality, Calvin.

You’re lucky to have a son who WANTS to remain outside. These days moms are facing the opposite problem-their offspring are too entranced by technology to leave the house.;-D

If I was Calvin, I would not just be sauntering inside. The Snow Goons move quickly on snow. It’s sorta their turf…so to speak.

Maybe Mom was the one that created the snow goons as a tricky way to keep Calvin outside.

Like oil and water. But sometimes they are right in spite of it!!

Like I told my nephew: Moms trump all.

Look at the bright side, Calvin. At least with the snow goons about you have a reason to miss school.

Poor Calvin, it’s snow fair….

On the one hand, mom needs a little backstory. On the other hand, backstory be dammed, it’s getting late and Calvin needs to get inside.

Mom didn’t say Hobbes had to go inside.

That and they may be as big as the goon created by Wiz in “Wizard of Id” today…https://www.gocomics.com/wizardofid/2021/01/07?ct=v&cti=2208697

Drat, another epic battle that needs to wait until school is done.

Moms float on reason

Wait for it to reason

Cover yourself in mom

Fly

Maybe there’ll be a sudden heat wave.

I get the point, but frankly, Calvin wasn’t really doing much in the way of killing them anyway.

Like every other mother, Calvin’s words are just more make believe nonsense.

And the goons sing: “Raise a glass to the four of us, tomorrow there’ll be more of us!”

My parents can be like that too. Sometimes I can’t even talk about my problems with them; they just want me to repress them!

Funny how, in later years, Mom’s reasoning of oil and water came together as a memorable Italian salad dressing! (You were right on most things, Mom!)

Time to come back to reality; time for dinner then bed and scholl in the morning. (drat)

Best answer ever: “You can kill them tomorrow after school!”

Reason uses premises. Check your premises, Calvin.

Says the pot to the kettle

I once tried to explain to Mom that I should not have to dry the dishes because the FDA had determined that the practice spreads any spot of unkilled bacteria across all the dishes. Guess what? Mom took bacteria’s side.

This is exactly how the Zombie Apocalypse starts. God, how I hope so.

Calvin has stumbled upon a real world application of von Neumann’s kinematic model thought experiment.

The Snow Goons have multiplied, and are currently invading the Kingdom of Id.

Alice the goon migrated from Wimpy and ends up in the mind of a weird MIT student?
