Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 20, 2013

…lead us not into temptation…

Maybe not easy. but snow is so much fun.

Temptation has come your way, young Calvin.

This is not going to end well…

Will we get to see some more of his creepy snowmen?

Yeah, we want creepy snowmen!

You ain’t seen nothin’ yet, bubbele!

No, Calvin. It never is…

Well, he finally figured out a way to make it snow.

It shall not be easy to come to Christmas presents, it shall cost some effort!!

Ma Nature made me do it?

temptation temptation & temptation….

To paraphrase: It depends on your definition of “good”.

Might only mean you won’t get so many lumps of coal — which you’ll probably only throw at Susie….

I’m sure he’ll make the right decision.

Lead me not to temptation, I can lead myself.

Even nature conspires against you, Calvin.

The Eternal Snow Ball quandary…

It has been my experience that sometimes you have to look really hard to find temptation. The trick is not to give up looking.

Reverse Psychology???

It snows on the just and the unjust.

I always thought Santa should read intention over deed, since sometimes we mean so much good, and it fails on us. Either way, Calvin is out of luck, since he can’t seem to help thinking evil.

Just thinking—even with Calvin’s short legs, that snow must be falling pretty quickly.

It doesn’t matter. Calvin blew it a long time ago.

“Deranged mutant killer monster snow goons” coming soon! Woo hoo!! ;-)

Time for snow goons.

That’s an understatement!

You’re not the only one up for reverse psychology, Calvin.

He can find many other ways to be bad.
