I wonder how is Calvin going to explain to his Mother: how his clothes ended up in a tree and he is standing naked in the snow — Calvin, catchers and pitchers report in one month.
Most of the comments seem to be missing the main joke. Calvin says, “Wasn’t that a great shot?? What control! What form! Did you notice I packed the snow so that…” Hobbes is far less impressed by it than Calvin is.
Given the enthusiasm with which Calvin’s so often seized opportunities to practice nudism in the past, he should be shivering with excitement over this one!
If we assume that Hobbes’ behavior is a product of Calvin’s imagination, then Calvin has some serious mental problems that would make him undress and hurl his clothes into a tree in such freezing weather.
On the other hand, if Hobbes is a real anthropomorphic tiger, then Calvin should have expected some sort of payback.

Calvin is lucky Hobbes didn’t pack his fruit of the looms full of snow and freeze the kid’s raisins off.

That look of anger on Hobbes in the third panel looks like a familiar expression on Calvin’s mom when she’s “had enough.”

Hobbes feels a bared Calvin can better appreciate his point of view on receiving that packed snowball.
