Calvin and Hobbes once planned to make an awesome snow fort, but instead of not enough snow, no snow at all.

I see the backup power supply. But where’s the main power supply?

Is that a little effigy of Paige in the Target Practice area?

Jason, life is not Minecraft.

Garden shovel, Jason? You’ll need to start with a pick-ax. The ground is frozen solid.

Even if they do get it all dug out, the snowballs will melt by the time they get them stored.

All that digging from two boys who can’t throw a football two feet.

What’s the target practice for?

I don’t see this working out at all.

at least they got the spikes in place

What’s holding up the floor of the Weapons Lab?

I have always wanted it to snow enough so that I could carve out a snow tunnel.

If Jason were mechanically inclined, he’d design a magazine-fed snowball turret. And make it look like one of the Hoth armaments.

wow, i remember this winter. it was like this in MN! (well, just my town, but still, MN…

Would the computers make it melt?

Unless you’re planning on going subterranean, you might want to build your fort on a glacier too have enough snow…

They could just build it underground and make a few changes to their weaponry

No one, kid or adult, could say no to this

No escape hatches? Weak.
