Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 14, 2019

What’s the point of being good if you’re going to ask for presents that you will never get?

Like you’re getting that Calvin. At least 99 percent of the world’s children ask for stuff Santa can give them as well as what they want

a missile… how wonderful

Let me know if you ever get it Calvin

I know that’s what I wanted when I was a kid. Never got it.

Calvin, I know someone who’ll give you a heat-seeking missile if you have any dirt on Biden.

If only shooting video games were around back then.

You have to be careful what you wish for. I still remember getting a toy I really really wanted (Trik Trak) that didn’t work as advertised. Now, I just ask for a six pack and I’m never disappointed.

Calvin, the problem with a heat seeking missile is that it’s not reusable and you do have a lot of enemies.

I can’t figure what kind of HOT target Calvin could use it on.

What did Susie ask for? A restraining order.

Susie HAD to ask.

A present for the school I imagine.

Uh yeah, you can forget that one, brat!

I wonder how long it will be before someone mentions gun control.

socks & underwear it is!

Just asking for one of those things is naughty. Calvin is already doomed.

Hmm. Who does he sound like? Scary!

Good luck, Calvin. I’ve been asking for one for years and so far nada. I’ve haven’t even got the mount for the front of my car. I’m starting to think Santa is a pacifist.

Does being “an absolute angel” in December make up for being an absolute demon the other 11 months of the year?

Wish I had thought of that. Probably too late now.

……….

I have to admit, these postings are more intelligent than most of the other social medias. At least they make more sense. Thank heavens our “fearless leader” hasn’t discovered it. He’d Tweet it into oblivion.

And, since we have a few minutes to kill waiting for the bus, what are the exact coordinates to your home, Susie?

I’m hoping to see Calvin and his snowmen……some of the funniest ones ever made

You’ll also need a decent guidance system.

Sants will just pass that request along to Homeland Security.

When I was 12 and had my first skateboard I fantasized about having a laser so when the sidewalk was blocked by the back of a car I could SZZZT! slice it off. Obviously, the back of the car would fall out of the way or disappear or something. It would be cool.

Someone needs to tell Calvin about the “Whipping Father.”

Weapons of mass destruction will NOT be delivered, beneath your Xmas tree Calvin.

One of the very rare C&H strips where Hobbes appears only as a stuffed toy!

Calvin wants to join the Neighborhood Nuclear Deterrent Force…

Make up your mind Calvin, is it heat seeking or guided? Can’t be both. Now you’ve confused Santa and you’ll get socks and underwear.

Suzie called him ‘your stuffed tiger’ and he didn’t take offense…?
