Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 23, 2018

Dad can pick up a tuna sandwich at 7-Eleven and gift wrap it.

There’s gotta be tuna fish in there.

I think a Christmas miracle for Hobbes would be a GINORMOUS seafood sandwich. Merry Christmas you two!

My favorite C&H Christmas strip

That’s a lot of giving, Calvin.

I thank myself for not have troubles as in panel 8 dad and mom have

Hobbes will treasure Calvin’s friendship for about eight more years. But for us C&H fans since the strip’s 1996 discontinuation, it WILL be forever.

My mom was a knitter, she crafted large stockings for all of us with our names and birth year on them. Me, my four bothers, our 28 first cousins, our wives, our cousin’s spouses, grand children, great grand kids, our cousin’s kids. Some were wool, some cotton depending what mom got on sale. Mine is white, red and green with stitched trees, wreaths and more as well as puff balls at the end for hanging. It was a variation on a perfected theme as I am the second youngest of the cousins. When I woke Christmas morning my stocking was stretched taught. As I got wise I remembered to take a flashlight to sleep with so I could explore the wonders of the sock in the wee hours. All the beds were taken with other, more senior family members so I had to keep quiet sleeping fitfully on the floor at least until the sun came up. The excitement of feeling that tube stretched out with magazines, toys, gew gaws, fabulous wonderment’s and always an orange in the toe in the dark is a joy I rarely know 50 plus years later. I held up my sock at my mom’s funeral a few years ago and asked “How many of you have one of these?” Lots of laughs and many, many hands held high. Happy holidays all, tis the season to remember the joys in life!

The spirit of Christmas or just too sugar?

Quick, Dad! Whip out to the convenience store and buy some tuna!!

That last panel always brings a tear to my eye…….“Sniff”!

Give him a hug on my behalf as well Calvin.

♥♥♥ Looks like Calvin’s found the perfect gift!!!!

That’s the only present Hobbes needs.

Dad’s pretty brave if he eats that Calvin-made sandwich. Maybe the cold beer will help.

Darn…just when I was starting to really dislike Calvin. he goes and does something touching! :o)

awwww, that is truly and literally a “warm & fuzzy” moment.

Definitely going to use that last line.

What Santa would really rather have is a new Mrs. Claus, ‘cuz this one’s a total buzz-kill.

May the wonders of youth never fade. Merry Christmas Calvin!

i have all of his cartoons on a CD… I have all of Calvin forever.

Why did it stop production?

Very sweet. Unusual for Calvin & Hobbes.

That may be the sweetest thing Calvin says in the entire run of the strip.

I have been reading this comic for years and this is the one that made me really feel the Christmas spirit!

Ok, everybody…Awww……

My favorite C&H strip. Maybe my favorite comic strip of all time. Just perfect. Hobbes messes with Cal, Cal messes with Mom and Dad. Reminds me of me and my brother on Christmas AM. We would sneak down and scope out the “loot” and fantasize about throwing our sister’s stuff in the back yard (we never did). And the last panel is pure gold. Thanks Mr Watterson. Thanks a million times over.

Gonna frame this one, and bring it out and place it near the tree every year.. bit.ly/2EFzyru

I have the last strip framed on my wall

Awww, how nice. :)

I hate crying at the office.

One of the best Christmas strips. I used Dad’s comment many times, not just Christmas Morning.

One of my absolute favorites from this comic strip. I put the last panel in my liner art for more than one mix tape over the years.

Aww

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww……
