Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 20, 2022

We can rule out a career as a grenadier.

For all of Calvin’s “preparations”, he’s lousy at a lot of things.

Like a lot of Generals great at plans but a failure at operations.

Well, he can’t excel at EVERYthing!

Like the killer in PULP FICTION…

Bad luck! Do it better next time Calvin. And remember: Be snow, my friend!

Well I remember the one time Calvin dropped the snowballs of all snowballs on Suzie and basically planted her in the ground, that makes up for all other misses IMHO.

Most men are, Sussie!

What are you throwing, Calvin, whiffle balls?

(Yes, I know it’s wiffle ball. Close enough.)

Calvin’s face….. snigger

I wonder if Hobbes could hit her with a snowball—not that he’d try to!!

A snowball artillery barrage. Put a bunch of ’em out there and hope a few hit something.

He learned to throw snowballs at the Storm Trooper Acacemy.

Last panel: Hey, there are two left. Put one in her wide-open mouth.

I am really accurate. Ironically, i pressurize my snowballs so much the 75% turns to ice

smart bombs, dumb thrower?

Well small wonder, is it not, that Calvin detests Susie. In fact, all of the women in Calvin’s life, Susie, Mom, Miss Wormwood, seem to be agents of humiliation and oppression. Not a good start…

A fine example of why we never hear of the second or third fastest gun in the west. (I haven’t seen a TV or Movie Matt Dillon style gun fight in years)

He’s six year’s old!

He didn’t really want to hit her. Just wanted to impress and get her attention.

Cal has about as much chance as a snowball in hell!

Calvin has anger issues.

With aim like that, he’d make a good stormtrooper…

Calvin’s got a rubber arm. :)-

No Carnegie Hall for Calvin.

There’s a karmic aspect to this, I just feel it…

Training to be an Imperial storm trooper!

Watterson always said he used his wife to create Suzie

Calvin could write pages on what he knows about dinosaurs.

I gotta believe that Calvin and Suzie end up getting married.

8.5/10

No baseball scholarship for Calvin.

Hobbes would straighten him out.

“Stormtrooper!!”
