Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 16, 2018

Santa finds what Susie did completely justifiable.

Knowing how many kids there are out there, it’s doubtful Santa is watching every single one all at once.

So, Calvin’s a lefty, who knew?

Resistance is futile…especially for Calvin.

A romance – by any other name is still…

I’m more surprised Calvin actually managed to hit Suzie in the first place. I somehow was under the impression he is a pretty poor shot?

Calvin sure never learns.

Now, is that love OR is that love?

Suzie, liberated at a tender age!

hahahaah- I love his random “I’m not sorry!” He’s just so gleeful in being so awful.

To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, Calvin can resist anything but temptation.

I’d bet Susie was great track/cross country in high school and college. Probably got a scholarship.

After they get married she will make his life a living Hell.

Live for the moment. Or you’re not really living at all.

Just because Suzy is a girl does NOT mean she won’t raise all holy H3LL with you Calvin… ;-)

Where has Hobbes gone? I miss him! ;o{

I bet Susie thought it was worth it as well.

Nice nod via the Tex Avery eyes…

By the look in Suzy’s eyes at the 2nd to last panel, I’m not sure if being in Santa’s good graces is first and foremost on her mind either.

Reminds me of Garrison Keillor’s “Tomato Butt” story.

“Curse my great aim…”

Probably the only time that Calvin’s snowball actually hit the intended target.

Do you suppose Calvin and Susie eventually got married?

I never knew that Calvin was lefthanded.

Slushballs have consequences.

Nope…he’ll probably just skip YOUR house, Calvin, if you don’t clean up your act!

Calvin’s hat, gloves, hair, and eyeballs at the bottom really made my day!

This reminds of a non-Calvin slushball incident. “I’m going to GET you, Junior Barns…”

Now that is Calvin. Santa knows little mischieves is part of any child. This should not count while the gifts are wrapped.

Before you act like a jerk, make sure you can out run the girl! :-)
