Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 11, 2021

The thrill of battle got the best of Calvin.

I remember my dad reading this storyline to us when we were kids. He had a LOT of fun when he got to this part.

You heard him, Mom and Dad! Time to battle some SNOW GOONS!

You may think you’re winning, Calvin, but you’re not even close.

this is one of my favorite story lines

Good thing they kept quiet!

I lead such a boring life. My kids wake me up with “Dad, can you go to the bathroom with me?” or “Dad, can you fill my cup?” .

I have heard of walking in your sleep but killing snow goons in your sleep is a new one.

War on goons started at 12 PM for Mom and Dad joy .

I’m glad they remembered to wear scarves.

With Calvin as a kid, they sleep lightly.

What are the “battle weapons” of choice for Calvin & Hobbes? Shovels? Ice picks? :D

Knowing Calvin he’ll be throwing snow balls at them…..

Subtle and quiet, as an H-BOMB. Nice goin’ Calvin. :P

All these years, and C&H still the only comic that actually makes me laugh. Not just smile or grin, but actually laugh. Pure genius.

Yes the sudden shout of a high-pitched kid does startle one doesn’t it.

Perhaps, you can do your killing quieter?

Mom doesn’t wear attractive night gowns anymore. She fears “inspiring” Dad to make another Calvin.

There is no such thing as a quiet battle apparently.

the parents might think its another robbery o_o

I’ve already read this story quite a few times, I knew what was coming, and its still laugh out loud funny.

You boys don’t get the concept of stealth.

Calvin makes a great antithesis for himself.

Shhh!

Those two need to take a cue from Solid Snake.

Sounds like a snow goon avalanche in progress.

After this happened:

Mom: CALVIN WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!Dad: It’s the middle of the night!Calvin: (sleepwalks away)

I can only imagine how confusing this strip must be for those who don’t have any context behind it.

And they would’ve gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for that meddling kid’s big mouth!

Snow Goons are in for it now. Wonder how many he can decapitate before his parents get to him.

And it escalates to “ Dad, can I borrow the car?”

Mom and dad might have at one time wondered why there were so many “for sale” signs on their block…

guerrilla warfare….

’twas the night of the snow goon counterattack, when all through the house, only one creature was stirring, ’twas not a mouse

Jeez, calm down.(Btw he also might get in trouble for this)

Just think: Calvin is outside, with the door and all windows closed, and his parents were probably drifting off on the second floor. How loud IS he?

By the phase and position of the moon, it’s after midnight.

Very bright, Calvin.

I laughed so hard I thought my pants would never dry!

That is the same exact expression I make when my dog starts barking at midnight
