Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 15, 2019

Sad that Hobbes has to go to so much trouble to get a snack.

I once tried this on my younger brother, but with God instead of Santa.

He instantly saw through it, and told on Mom.

rather than the penmanship (or pen-tiger-ship), I think the W in “Santa Claws” (instead of a U in “Santa Claus”) would’ve been a dead giveaway

Hobbes should become Santa.

Dear Santa —

I’m being kind to animals right now. Our newly adopted rescue dog, Joey, is beside me on the sofa, snuggled against my thigh, fast asleep. And he’s already had his snack.

Joey is about to celebrate his third anniversary with us. Tomorrow is three weeks since he came to live with us.

Still believing in you after more years than I care to remember.

Who would write you a letter Calvin? Susie, Mrs. Wormwood, Moe, the Principal, Rosalyn. None of them would let alone Santa.

I should try this on the kids in my neighborhood. They keep driving me crazy!

Hobbes had it, but he got greedy when he made suggestions. When maturity arrives, hopefully wisdom follows.

They’re both getting coal in their stockings.

You darn……Oh no, be good. good, good…….

There’s a special place in Heaven for people like you Greasy Old Tam!

Hope that Santa can see, that Calvin is trying so hard, but it doesn’t work, he shall cry to Santas mother, perhaps she can help and Santa will close one eye and be kind to Calvin!!

That’s just hurting your chances of being on the actual good boy list

Calvin has been “clawed – klaued”, thieves have broken in!!

When a tiger says that it wants a snack, you should be worried.

LOL! Hobbes had him going there for a little bit! That’s a nice prank!

Santa Claus – Santa Claws – (Santa claus)

Now that I think about it, I should have tried this on my children.

Not only sage advice but also thyme-ly as well.

Insanaty Claws..

Really Hobbes?

Again, Calvin deserves to be visited by the “Whipping Father” (or “Pere Fouettard”) rather than Santa.

Does that knuckle sandwich come on whole grain bread or rye?

I’ve never written a fake letter from Santa. To Penthouse, yes. But not Santa.

30 years old and still the funniest strip on these pages.

Calvin is so expressively drawn.

Somebody said weeks ago that Hobbes never teases Calvin. Here is proof that he does!

Have we ever seen Hobbes call Calvin by name?

Cal’s hat flies off then his shoes. Watterson’s retails are awesome.

Think that’s the first time I remember Hobbes calling Calvin by name.
