Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 20, 2023

Plenty of crime scene workers have removed genetic material off the sidewalk.

Calvin, the philosopher…..

As dad said about shoveling: It builds character!

The thought of it

For further details pls refer – “A Discourse on the Evolution of the Snowman from the Inhumane Practise of Shovelling Snow.”, 8th Edition, Calvin & Hobbes. ISBN 14489553421138532

You start down this path, things snowball fast.

DEEP THOUGHTS

Actually, the snow man is thinking How do I prove I’m not the father? We don’t have any dna.

SNOW GOONS!!!! :)

It all starts with , I Think , Therefore I Am , It’s been all downhill from than……/s or is it lol ….hmmmm….

It’s rather disturbing how complex Calvin’s mentality can be… and how lazy he is to actually use that mind at school.

Any excuse not to shovel the pavement……….

I drift, therefore I am!

Water thou art, and to water thou shall return.

I’ve had someone’s precursors thrown at me before, mostly in an attempt to prove they were somehow better than me.

Some deep philosophical stuff going on here.

“The Snow Thinker” by Calvin!

I always wonder where he finds the perfect sticks for the arms and hands. And does he find them first and they inspire him to build a particular snowman?

The remains of the day….

Like they do in Seattle.

Snowman DNA gets washed into rivers and oceans to begin the cycle all over again

That last line from Calvin will get your comic strip yanked in some communities.

Maybe snowman is doing the graveyard speech from Hamlet?

From dust we are made. To dust we shall return. “The same, ‘cept differn’t” ~SNL

Leaving genetic material on the walk really seems to bother the wife.

So, the human equivalent of this would be gazing at ones sleeping child and contemplating the wonderful future they will have while they dream of sugar highs, bath avoidance and merciless pranks to be played on siblings/friends/school mates/teachers/parents/girls/boys and stuffed tigers??

The poor snowman has lots on his mind.

Oh great, now the crazies will want to ban the creation of snow balls and the shoveling of sidewalks.

Genetic material on the sidewalk is an image I did not need stuck in my head.

Who wants their progeny born on the walk?

What about the old classic of turning the snow yellow?

Monkeyball fight!

Pretty deep for a snowman. Maybe he’s thinking of a Yeti. :)

Deep, deep… very deep.

Hmmm… Calvin is becoming very clever regarding how to get out of work. The "Theological"l approach – he is advancing quickly.

Name that snowperson!

One take? Gene / Jean Freezin. : )

I remember this strip very well. When I was in the fourth grade I had quite a lot of fun encouraging others to contemplate these questions. (It should be mentioned that that’s also the only winter from my childhood where I remember that it never snowed once.)

Deep. Especially for so early in the season.

I’m cold, therefore I am.

Better than throwing ones genetic material at someone.

Oh great, No I’m stuck on thinking about the deep philosophical ramifications of snow evolving into snowmen .. lol

Calvin can sure get deep.

Shoveling genetic material from the track seems gross.

You’re standing on his…. never mind.
