Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 18, 2025

Jaws: The winter years!

His most creative snow art piece yet.

The Calvin snow strips are some of the very best ones!

That’s a great one, Calvin! Next, do one of Dad being attacked by a bear while on a camping trip to “build character”.

Just needs some red jello now

A masterpiece in comic strip history

All creatures fear the Great White North Shark.

“We’re just porpoises”

A cousin to land sharks.

Those sharks look easy to make, so he can make a lot of them.

And he knows it. I mean the look on his face. Yikes.

Quick! Get out of the snow!

This is out of left field, but does anyone remember the “sand sharks” episode of Outer Limits? The one with Adam West. :) That was hilarious.

Yeah…Calvin’s snow goons are back! Keep them coming Bill!

Blood on the snow!

Yeti Sharks !

I love Calvin’s imagination! :-)

Sadly, while Calvin sees his snowmen as a creative work of art, others would see it as a desperate cry for help.

Very, very funny today. Great imagination at work. Yea!! Watterson at his best. : )

Calvin always finds the perfect sticks for the arms. I wonder if that’s part of his inspiration.

“Calvin’s gonna need a bigger strip.”

The movie was shown on a commercial channel the other night and they cut that line!!!

Swim faster. Winter is coming.

Watterson is warped to come up with this stuff.

Haha… Cold water sharks ! Who knew…

Two or three bites should finish him.

Probably will have lots of snow sharks this next week !

those stick arms and twig fingers are not optimal for propelling that bulbous body!

The only chance that guy has is maybe if some dolphins came in the opposite direction

Cue in the theme song from Jaws.

A “Feeding Blizzard” is a-comin’…

Calvin must’ve studied the masters: Gary Larson and Gahan Wilson.

Ooh! Imagine Hobbes playing the bass fiddle…bumm bumm bumm…swim snowman! Head for the porch!

Where is the music??

Watterson lives on the east side of Cleveland, so with the lake effect, he has a LOT of snow to work with.

Coming to a theater near you – Sharkizzard!

Calin has a great mind and imagination. A bit on the dark side but still great.

This seems a little tame compared to my mischievous pastimes during the 50’s. Most of them involved insects and magnifying glasses or matches. There wasn’t much snow where I grew up.

Calvin is SICK. But of course, we all knew that.

Weird but I like it. It’s hard to break new ground (snow) with snowmen.

Looks like the guy lost his swim trunks already.

Calvin’s snow sculpters are the best!

DU DU DU DU DU DU.

I love it LOL Calvin should make a taller dorsal fin behind the shark ones to make it look like Orcas are behind the sharks chasing them.
