Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 10, 2016

Ten years from when this strip was written, Calvin’s inbox will be filled with spam.

Someone once left me a chain letter under the windshield wiper of my truck. It was written in Spanish so I showed it to my bilingual boss. She freaked out and crossed herself. I just threw it away.

I was able to show some coworkers how a chain letter could expand to reach everyone in the US in only 17 steps. (We had 300 people at work at the time).

Superstition, that’s what it is

I smell a conspiracy.

The 4 volume Calvin and Hobbes available at Costco for $39. Wow!

Here in Vermont we are having California weather. That means we check the thermometer and say “I wish I was in California!”

Now it is emails that take up a ton of bandwidth.

is superstition anything like regular stition except its really really huuuuge?

Colonel Potter from M*A*S*H said that superstitions like that come right off the stable room floor.

-40 in Edmonton. That is the same in both Celsius and Farhenheit – cold.

Got several of those over the years and tossed them.

Email would seem to be a natural medium for chain letters, and yet, I don’t think I ever received one. Strange.

I broke the chain and Trump got elected.

Yay! I was correct!

Appearing in tomorrow’s strip:

“I’M NOT GOING TO PLAY THIS STUPID GAME! I HATE IT! WHAT A WASTER OF TIME!”

Here in South Florida we just had a “cold” front come through. It’s 1PM and it’s rainy with high humidity and 71° (22°C). Some people are probably getting out their sweaters and wind breakers.

I’m the Seattle guy. Man I miss having hair

I agree with Hobbes !

This is how Mark Zuckerberg got his start…

I used to get chain text messages and I thought they were rather nice. I don’t remember them saying "Send this to (number) of your friends and (something will happen)

xxx

how did the creator of the letter know about those 2 people?

Interesting timing. I just got a chain letter yesterday. Took it to the Post Office this morning and turned it in. Hope they’re able to do something about it.

OK. “Superstitious nincompoops” made me smile. Good one.
