Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 01, 2015

Transcript:

Calvin: "This sculpture will be called "the spirit of compromise." We'll each make a snowman and have them shaking hands" Hobbes: "Great" Calvin: "This will be very inspirational! People will need to see two snowmen overcoming their differences and cooperating! Soon we'll be rolling in public commissions!" Hobbes: "Make your snowman's arm longer. His hand won't reach my snowman's hand" Calvin: "Why should I make a new arm? Just make YOURS longer" Hobbes: "Then it will look like my snowman had to reach farther than yours did. They should be equal" Calvin: "Then build your snowman closer over here!" Hobbes: "I'm not going to start all over! Just make your arm longer!" Calvin: "I refuse! You can't tell me what to do!" Hobbes: "In that case, my snowman refuses to shake with your snowman!" Calvin: "So what!! MY snowman won't even TALK to yours! I'm turning his head the other way!" Hobbes: "Ha! While he's looking over there, MY snowman will kick YOUR snowman in his big white butt!" Calvin: "Oh yeah?! Well mine knocks your snowman's head off!" Hobbes: "Fine! My snowman feeds your snowman his own nose!" Hobbes: "I don't think this sculpture is very good" Calvin: "It's a compromise"
