Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 13, 2017

The shortcomings of socialism.

He’s making a list, checking it twice, and making DARN sure you don’t get that flamethrower, Calvin!

My five year old grand daughter has a very short list. A specific bennie boo, and the rest are surprises

I think referring to it as “loot” could be the source of some of your problems.

Funny the pen instead of the ear in third panel.

Calvin, you and Hobbes should set up shop at the South Pole and see if you can be that competition!

Hope springs eternal. Get ready for hot chocolate therapy, Calvin

Naughty kids are lucky to get anything on their list.

Well Calvin, I see the problem, the list is too short… (snicker)

The problem isn’t with Santa. The problem is with you, Calvin! Jerk!

Calvin, better check out today’s Garfield.

I foresee a shot to the coal industry after Santa gets this letter….

This made today’s Top 5!

When I grew up (over half a century ago) my “list” usually only had one item. If there were more, “Santa” might bring ONE of the things on the list. How times have changed.

What’s Calvin asking for this year?

Calvin has become just like 90% of kids these days. Self-centered and greedy. The more you give them, the more they demand.
