Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 25, 2018

Sometimes He says no for a reason, Calvin….although in this case, waiting to see what the reason is for you….

You can’t bully God.

It’s like the priests of Baal — during a famine and drought — calling out Baal to send down fire to a water-soeaked altar. The priests’ challenger, Elijah, called upon his God and won.

That’s as good a reason as any, Calvin.

God knows you better than you think, Calvin. He knows it’s not about sledding, it’s about school snow days.

And we thought we were impatient with snow.

I don’t want snow, so I hope it all lands on you, Calvin

God is not there to jump through your personal private hoops, Calvin, no matter what TV preachers may be telling you.

Calvin should move to Sault Saint Marie Michigan.

Maybe Calvin’s exhortations caused climate change.

In the Winter of 1978-1979 I was a little boy in the U.P. of Michigan praying for snow every night. I got it. We hit a snowfall record for Houghton County that still stands to this day: 355.9 inches.

Maybe Calvin should try a snow dance. Heyaheya!

…and Dad might have to work from home.

God and Noah: Noah… What?!? Whaddya want? Gotta take one of those hippos out and bring in another one. What for?!? ’Cause you got two males down there and you need to bring in a female. I’m not bringing nuthin in – You change one of ‘em! C’mon, you know I don’t work like that. (Courtesy of a certain comic legend who now is in jail and is regarded as persona non grata. )

Thanks …. 8 – 12" tonight

God answers prayers, mostly says, “No.”

“Your arms are too short to box with God” first appeared in the poem “The Prodigal Son” by James Weldon Johnson

Grass gone mud back.

The Indians’ rain dance always worked! ’Cause they danced til it rained.

I am with Calvin. No snow, so snowmen. And that is where Calvin does his best work.

“If prayer actually worked, everyone would be a millionaire, nobody would ever get sick and die, and both football teams would always win.” ~ Ethan Winer

Calvin must have a report due.

It can snow all it wants when the Browns win the Super Bowl… (with apologies to Browns fans.)

If you ask for 6 inches every day, by the end of the week you might end up with 3 feet!

Said the atheist cartoonist. Oy.

Grammar alert: When referring to a hypothetical, it should be “if I were”, not “if I was”.

Can’t bully the Ultimate Bully!

Hey, it worked! It is snowing here in Iowa.

The next prayer God answers will be the first.

Don’t poop yourself, Calvin.

Wise for his age. Probably doesn’t believe in the tooth fairy either.
