Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 17, 2013

I have couple unsent emails like that to my boss.

By all means send it.you might as well get him angry at you also.

I never got what I really wanted either. Of course, as I grew up I learned why.

Kid, you’ll shoot your eye out.

Not be vindictiv, dear Santa!!

I am thankful with makeing happy all my relations and friends, when I have enough to give presents to them!

maybe Santa be colder…

Dear Calvin,

Every year I ask you to be a good son, student and friend. And every year you callously ignore it and do whatever you want. What’s the deal? Have you wigged out? Or are you just a vindictive, twisted kid bent on destroying your parents’, teacher’s and friends’ life?

Santa

PS. It felt good to write it.

I’m thinking this is just proof that Santa does have a list and he does check it twice. And he really does know who’s on the top of the Naughty list.

“Facebook Santa” – I never thought of that! I could have a very entertaining lunch break today.

I guess Santa knows that if he left Calvin coal Calvin would find ways of using it.So useless junk is the next best thing.

Supposedly, Abraham Lincoln would do this a lot – write a nasty letter, carry it for a while and then destroy it.

Times change. But people, not so much.

I’ve come to believe that telling children about Santa Claus is a terrible idea. I mean you get a kid to believe in something magical and good and then as they grow up they come to realize its all a lie. That’s not a good way to develop a trusting soul, and especially for Christian folk. They want their child to believe in God, but convince them of Santa? Again, bah humbug to American Consumerism. That’s all Christmas is about nowadays

Probably a flamethrower. Can’t blame Santa for bringing him socks instead.

I can’t get over the facial expressions Bill brings to life. The difference between panels 2 & 3, mean, nasty, arrogant and panel 4, calm, thoughtful, considerate, innocent boy. Bill is definitely the master of the pen.

That’s Calvin for you. Haha

Cathartic.

I agree with Hobbes, Calvin.

But I have to admit the letters are hilarious!

Well, that’s what happens when you ask for things like grenade launchers and flame throwers, etc…

Hmmm…Calvin is of the “Twas the Night Before Christmas” school with Santa as an elf.

As far as I recall: Calvin wants a complete arsenal of nuclear bombs, nuclear submarines with which to launch them, hand grenades and grenade launchers, his very own bomber plane that he can fly as he pleases (plus unlimited bombs to drop), etc. etc.

However if all Calvin gets are ‘practical things’ it can’t be a lot of fun for him.

But, Calvin’s not bitter, is he?

He still has quite the impressive vocabulary, though.
