    The fabled snow dance didn’t work. Try flushing an ice cube down the toilet.

    Praying would be just as effective as dancing, except that dancing burns calories and is a little fun…unlike praying.

    he is turning counter-clockwise which makes this the southern hemispherical snow dance. He needs to go clockwise to make it snow in the northern hemisphere.

    It all depends on how you pray, doesn’t it? :)

    Funny how the minute someone says “Oh good not a religious discussion today” it turns into one.

    I love those moves of Calvin’s. But if you get snow Calvin, keep it to yourself. We’ve had enough up here in London Ontario.

    The way the dance is drawn is a fine example of cartooning. The illusion of motion in just a few inches of drawing. With only one panel of dialogue he tells a whole story. What a great understanding of his craft and his audience. Waterson was a master.

    It worked for us in southern Indiana. We got between 3-1/2 and 4 inches this morning with what sounds like a whole lot more to come tomorrow. Way to go Calvin (said with MUCH sarcasm!!!!!).

    You can stop now, Calvin, we’ve had enough here in Toronto, thanks! And I have to say, DesultoryPhillipic, I love your handle. From the Simon and Garfunkel song (“A Simple Desultory Philippic (Or How I Was Robert McNamara’d Into Submission)”) I gather?

    The real snow dance:

    1: Handcuff yourself to the refrigerator door. 2: Set your house on fire. 3: Do the jerk while singing the SpongeBob theme song.
