I see this as the last of a series of three small victories for Calvin over Susie. That’s probably a record for him as we often see a whole month go by without him outwitting Susie. Grossing her out, as he’s doing today, is his speciality however. Susie usually beats him when it comes to manipulation.
Some of Watterson’s all-time strips were with Calvin and his snow creations. The zombies attacking helpless snowmen that had expressions of horror on their faces were hilarious. He never should have retired this strip.

I thought girls liked playing doctor. Playing neurosurgeon must be something different.

When Calvin asked Suzie if she wanted to play doctor, this isn’t what she had in mind.

She can be the anesthesiologist. If something goes wrong and the snowman wakes up, she’ll freak out.

You could use brain surgery yourself, Calvin.

Calvin’s type of surgery is about the only kind covered by my insurance plan —thanks to the Affordable Care Act.

Playing?!? I’ll have you know that this kind of surgery is very complicated.

Is that a recently-sharpened saw?

Our daughter loved giving me brain transplants when she was little. Sometimes she’d take a break after removing the old brain and leave me paralyzed.

How did he manage to get his hands on a saw? With his record, I’d imagine his parents keep the tools locked up.

Poor guy. Brain surgery AND a heart transplant at the same time.
The big question is how Calvin got a real saw.
