    << Yesterday, polly18 said: Usually Hobbes is full of wisdom and ideas that save Calvin from trouble (if and when Calvin listens to him).. however, this time around Hobbes idea proved evil for them :p >>

    Hi Polly

    If you look closely at the first frame of yesterday’s strip, you will see that the word balloons are criss-crossed, and the second one points to Calvin, not Hobbes. So the bad idea of throwing snowballs at the snowman was Calvin’s.

    Just wanted to set the record straight regarding the efficacy of tiger wisdom. It’s generally right up there with tiger aphorisms.

    Wouldn’t “Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goon” be a great name for a heavy-metal band?

    I agree, rayannina. Especially if the band is made up of a bunch of flakes.

    **Good morning Marg! Good morning Fran! Good Morning L’Wolf! Good Morning Grog!**

    Here comes the sun, doo da doo doo Here comes the sun, and I say It’s alright

    Little darling It’s been a long, cold, lonely winter Little darling It feels like years since it’s been here

    Here comes the sun Here comes the sun, and I say It’s alright

    Little darling The smiles returning to the faces Little darling It seems like years since it’s been here

    Here comes the sun Here comes the sun, and I say It’s alright

    Sun, sun, sun, here it comes Sun, sun, sun, here it comes Sun, sun, sun, here it comes Sun, sun, sun, here it comes Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

    Little darling I see the ice is slowly melting Little darling It seems like years since it’s been clear

    Hobbes: Thanks for comment re the crossed balloons. From my recollections, a favorite tiger aphorism was the one about a tiger’s tail being like a necktie for the butt…and a favorite bit of wisdom was the comment that life is just one epiphany after another (altho’ I think the tiger may have had tongue firmly implanted in cheek on that one).

    And thus the term “Snow Goon” is immortalized in comic history.

    Rayannina I agree completely. Awesome band name going unclaimed. You taking applications?

    Magnamax that was priceless.

    No doubt Calvin has it on his Netflix list, along with “Killer Vixen Snow Babes” or whatever that other movie was.

    Next time, Calvin will think twice before summoning the snow demons. Snowmen were never meant to be living beings.

    I frequently play it. It’s just about my favorite acoustic guitar song to play. Lennon’s ‘You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away’, and Paul’s ‘Norwegian Wood’ get a lot time on my acoustic, too. Now, if I could just figure out how to do Ringo on guitar……
