Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 25, 2019

Hook him up to the car battery.

Calvin, soon you’re gonna learn why bringing snowmen to life is a bad idea.

Dr. Calvinstein…..

The lightning would probably turn Calvin’s experiment into a big puddle.

I think Calvin’s plan is seriously flawed…

Is it even possible to get lightning storms in snowy, northern areas (Alaska, Yukon, Northwest Territory, Nunavut, Lapland, Siberia)?

“Frankensnow”. (Not) coming soon.

It will never work. Creatures only come alive at the top of a dank stone tower.

Just make sure his brain isn’t “abby normal”.

Is there space in the freezer?

You could play “Frosty the Snowman” on your music system, but I guess it is easier to bring a snowman to life.

Shocking behaviour….

Considering where Hobbes is pushing, I assume they are building the abdomen-able snowman….

This project has to go back into the freezer!

Just go look for a lost Top Hat. I works for Christmas show.

Dr. Frankenstein is alive and well. Sigh!

The storm will be magnificent – all the electrical secrets of heaven! And this time, we’ll be ready, eh, Fritz? Ready… ( Frankenstein, 1931, Universal Pictures, dir. James Whale)

I always loved the snowman strips – my favorite (which I cut out of the newspaper and still have on my bulletin board) is the one where Dad says “you have to admit it’s slowed down the traffic on our road”. We never had that kind of creativity as kids – or adults.

I thought all it took was a magician’s top hat.

well at least he doesn’t think of the power lines, or the battery in dad’s car.

Thundersnow, also known as a winter thunderstorm or a thundersnowstorm, is an unusual kind of thunderstorm with snow falling as the primary precipitation instead of rain. It typically falls in regions of strong upward motion within the cold sector of an extratropical cyclone.Thundersnow – Wikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thundersnow

“Young Frankenstein”. Gene Wilder would be proud!

He lives! He lives!

Good grief Charlie Brown, who taught Hobbes how to perform CPR anyway?

You’ll need a Magic Hat.

Snowmen’s Got feet!!!

Were gonna need batteries—a LOT of batteries!

We had a thundersnow a couple nights ago in SE WI. Currently the temp is -20 F, windchill.

Get an extension cord and the battery charger for Dad’s car.

This is yet ANOTHER brilliant strip by Bill W. Damn the guy is fantastic!

Oh I so want to see some Calvin snowman strips! Some have me giggling all day!

What the H.ll is snow???

Frankenfrosty!

Calvin look for a high voltage line and make that lightening possible.

It wasn’t plain old lightning in the movies, it wasn’t used in the novel, it was Cosmic lightning. Too random to find the life giving and death dealing cosmic lightning. In the movies Frankenstein had developed a filter so that he could use the life giving rays and separated the death dealing into an accumulator.

I like how Calvin refers to a thunderstorm as “a thunder and lightning storm.” At least he didn’t take it too far (“When do you think we’ll get a thunder and lightning and rain and hail and wind storm?”)In my area, we’ve occasionally had thunderstorms in January and February. There were even a few instances of thunderSNOW.

The Creature!

Everyone who likes Calvin and Hobbes they are cool

Once while visiting relatives in Texas, we viewed one of the biggest storms ever. In California and Hawaii, they are never like the Texas ones.

Maybe you’ll get Thunder Snow!!!!!!!

yes, I have seen them in New Hampshire.

A number of years ago, we had a tornado in January.
