Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 10, 2014

…and so, the arms race is escalated.

I wonder how he placed the ones on top.

Build an igloo to hide with the snow!

Make some more, whats the odds of some idiot making more than 275.

Mutually assured destruction…

We’ve seen samples of Calvin’s accuracy. More like he’ll MISS him with 250 snowballs.

That snowballed into a crisis.

How to make a kid plough and be happy about it.

Moe will hits you..

Calvin can never win. Lol

The snow balls will melt before he gets a chance to use them.

Will you bloody Americans never learn? Momentarily means “For a moment” and NOT “In a moment”

Good question, Hobbs. At least, Mom and Dad know where to find Calvin plus it keeps him occupied so he is not ‘causing more trouble than he is worth’ ! ! !

That looks like more than 250 snowballs to me..

How many snowballs does a snowman have?

He won’t need 250. The first time he hits Susie with one, she’ll whale the tar out of him!

Guess I better make 500 then.

Keep Calvin busy, Hobbes.

Hobbes, you think too much!

The math is staggering, Calvin.

“A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.”

Ironically, this is keeping him out of trouble.

What if someone hits him with 1000 balls

Just remember, Calvin, no battle plan has ever survived contact with the enemy.

He can hit them with 350 snowballs…

How do you plan to protect your arsenal and avoid it being used against you?

That’s what the Cold War was, actually.

He would have to throw 62,500 snowballs.

I’m not normally one to turn cartoons like this political, but I swear the US military operates with the exact same mentality.

Make luv, not war. Throw kisses in return.

Now the snowballs Calvin was going to the day after Christmas are here, when they most likely melted during the tattoo strip.
