A simple explanation should work. Calvin just tells his mom that he was building a snowman in the tree and the snow ball dislodged and unfortunately it occurred just as Susie was passing beneath. It was simply fate.
Hoo wow, he accomplished his mission. not easy to do with the shifting north pole bending landings. I sometimes miss my quarry flying at night and even with “Hobbes” heavy gravity Calvin’s hit will be a lesson to him, soon.
A lot of forgiveness on Suzies part and Im sorry on Calvins part might work.
But Moms want a good spanking for her daughters pride and sore neck.
Suzies Mom is going to hold a grudge for many years
At some point it is revealed that Calvin and Suzie have crushes on each other! When hormones kick in the genders R nice 2 each other. After marriage, back to the conflict..
What did Suzie ever do to Calvin to deserve his wanting to constantly attack her? Why does he feel the need to attack anyone? He needs adult supervision!

There is no justice. The victim mentallity looms at an alarmingly early age, abetted by nanny state moms.

With gravity being so much stronger today, snowballs fall much faster than normal, and it’s fortunate that Susie is still alive.
It’s also amazing that, in spite of the strong gravity, Calvin was able to climb a big tree with that huge snowball in one arm. Must be the cape.

Nevermind Calvin, mission accomplished.

Time to use the transmogrifier and duplicate himself so that his clone gets the blame…or at least half the fault.

Hit from above with a snowball bigger than the head. Perhaps Calvin’s parents should be grateful they don’t have to pay for any medical bills.

Calvin you just like being a mean little boy. You’ll catch it now.

Uh oh. Calvin might as well get ready to go get that switch! LOL.

In all the years I have followed this strip I don’t recall Calvin every getting paddled?? Put in the corner is all I can remember.
I know what I would have got from mom and worse when dad got home.
