Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 14, 2013

A little sympathy should work,but maybe over done.

No pity?

Mom, he is too young to know about power bills.

We had “friends” who would invite us over, I guess to watch us shiver. We’d put our coats and gloves back on, too. No theatrics—just a very, very cold house.

This reminds me of Andy from FoxTrot.

Calvin is being overdramatic, his house is at 65 degrees Fahrenheit.

Huh! He thinks it’s cold in HIS house, he should get a load of the meat locker that is my parents’ house! And let’s just say it’s not because my mom is trying to save money…

looks like our office

She should make him run around or do star jumps, that would warm him up.

Does he complain when he’s outside making snow ghouls?

Yesterday, TrulyEpic0914 said: “Hey Hobbes how do you put comics in the chat box?”@TrulyEpic0914: Read my reply on Sunday, November 10th (first comment of the day).

Calvin’s dad is equally hard to convince. Here is a strip from three years before today’s rerun:Click here: Calvin and Hobbes (December 29, 1990)Click here: FoxTrot (2002)Click here: Peanuts (March 18, 1957)Click here: Peanuts (January 27, 1963)

or, maybe the house was designed and built poorly for climate control. the upstairs is hot, the ground floor is cool, and the basement is icy cold. drafts all over, and maybe some mold too.

Don’t know whether there are corporate policies on things like this. But as a group, Burger King is the coldest fast food place I’ve ever been into, both winer and summer.

winer? But…. they don’t serve wine at Burger King!

@Jeff0811: Glad you enjoy the extra strips. I post some of my favorites, and I enjoy reading them again when I “resurrect” them. I guess Lucy speaks with her eyes in the strip you mentioned.

Calvin makes me smile everyday.

This from the kid that goes 90 mph down a freezing slope on his sled with Hobbes!

…better yet, calvin should just snuggle up beside mom, get her arm wrapped around him and get her to read him a book…

@CalvinSet fire to something and maybe you can collect on the insurance later.

Calvin’s mom should buy him a heavier coat.

Yes mom, leave the thermostat where it is, on the wall out of Calvin’s reach.

66 here,and 64 better at night..it’s complicated but simple,really

Awwww! Look at him bundled up. It’s OK for Hobbes. He has his fur!xxx

Hi Tacopielvr. The poster you mentioned is one of our younger ones, and I want to give him the benefit of the doubt. My guess is that he reads the strip each day and the comics that I post, but, like you, skips most of the comments. So, today I tried replying together with the strips that I posted. Regarding the comments, some days it can be like reading the comics: There can be some really good ones in there among the others, but you have to read all of them to find the best ones.

Mom sounds like my Dad

I can relate. My boys try to freeze me during the winter, too.

Hear, Hear!!
