Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 11, 2019

Does Santa read read the the little kids the Miranda warning?

Santa will never come to him now

oh, the holiday stress for a kid like Calvin

I don’t think Santa’s buying what you’re selling, Calvin.

It was the Foxtrot guy, Santa…..not me….

Fighting your own alter ego….does that really count as fighting?

Quit while you can, Calvin.

It’s a vicious cycle!

Santa will just have to take you as you are – A kid who occasionally fights with his stuffed animal best friend. That’s not so bad.

The voice of treason?

Does this count as two fights?

Think that it’s pretty hard to con Santa, Calvin.

Somehow, I doubt Santa cares who started it, Calvin!

Foxtrot – are you kidding?Today’s C&H is just one more example of the art of comic strip writing at its peak.

And Santa sighs and facepalms…

What a grand cause of fighting!!

“Miserable miscreant”? At age 6??? The kid’s a frickin’ genius!

Quite a commentary by Watterson on the avoidance of personal responsibility.

Me and my brother. Literally every Christmas of my youth.

Santa’s gift: A set of boxing gloves

You gotta love a little boy’s imagination :)

Fighting about fighting! Santa’s gotta have a special section for this kid! ☺

Calvin is the only kid in the world who will lose a fight to a plush toy.

Santa Claws.

And so it continues.

Calvin gives a whole new meaning to the term ’OVERACTIVE IMAGINATION"!

This should actually be helping Calvin’s case. Imaginary fights aren’t included in Santa’s list and they keep him from the real fights.

I am LOLing!!

In the first panel: for once there’s no cloud covering the action.

Dear Santa: Guess what Calvin did today!

Well Calvin – might as well enjoy it since stopping it now won’t reverse what you’ve done.

Do you think Santa can see Hobbes is alive, Calvin? All he sees is a boy playing with his toy tiger.

This time of the year kids are extra sensitive to mischieves. Santa is a good bargain to buy peace throughout the year.

I LOVE this !! I have read this several times this week!! I’m ready to buy this print!!
