Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 19, 2014

Just DON’T do it!

Suddenly, the hypo has gone out of his thetical.

hobbs most likely told him to do it

Quick thinking, dad.

It’s never wise to hit the guy who keeps you fed, clothed and housed.

Careful Calvin, you’re treading on dangerous ground now.

Calvin, you are always looking for trouble.

Christmas is definitely coming… Calvin’s calculating before acting out.

Ah, the calculus of moral relativity. Calvin will ignore it, of course.

Poor kid just trying to bond with his humorless father.

Try throwing it at Susie.

yeah…why doesn’t dad ever build a snowman with his kid?

Calvin and his pet tiger Hobbes are getting ready for Christmas by picking out a present for Uncle Max.

Calvin is learning a valuable lesson this week: While snow sculpture is a solitary profession and the artist may be under-appreciated, it is a much safer way to use snow than flirting with instant death.

“how many nuclear warheads it would take to destroy Washington ? … “Oh, maybe three.””.How many snowballs? I think we should get started right away…

Wow. I understood everything Calvin’s dad said, until the last panel.

One too many questions, Calvin.

So just beware, Calvin!

The trick with snowballs is to form them soft and aim at the back of your victim’s head, and toss gently. You won’t hurt said victim, but the snowball will disintegrate immediately and shower down inside his/her collar and shirt. :)

For some reason, I like Dad’s concealed threat.

Instant death for whom?
