Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 29, 2020

I’m sure he will go away if Mom gave him a stern talking to.

If this is just Calvin’s imagination, he really believes it, considering how genuinely terrified he looks here.

Also, if the snowman isn’t really alive, how did they get it off the front step?

Calvin really needs help…and not with the snowman.

You’ll see Mom, he lives!!

Maybe he works for one of the credit monitoring agencies that know everything about you.

The little troll will now have his first major meltdown. Cue the ambulance!!

And he knows your phone number .

Calvin is doomed.

Not even an awful snow demon would mess with a Mom.

Fair warning: if you’re one of those people who fixates on trying to differentiate between Calvin’s imagination and what actually happens around him, this storyline is going to make your head explode.

Mom saying how do we get out of the door, begs the question how did Calvin get in ?

Let me guess, this turns out to be a dream sequence.

I think Calvin is going to be a great writer someday. This is probably about how Stephen King’s childhood went!

With Calvin’s mind and imagination I often have wondered if he was a compilation of Hitchcock, Serling and King.

Open the door and let Hobbes pounce on him, like he does when Calvin gets home from school. Oh, forget that! Hobbes is probably curled up, napping in front of the fire!

Too bad Santa did not give Calvin a flamethrower for Christmas.

It’s not a snowman anymore, it’s a snow stalker!

Snow Goons week(s) continues. The most wonderful time of the year.

The snowman always knocks twice.

Speaking of imagination, has anyone ever seen any Hobbes and Tigger interactions? Talking tigers from childhood fantasy aren’t especially common. I think would be fun if Hobbes was reading a Pooh book and made snarky comment about bouncing vs pouncing or some such.

I mean you built him in your backyard, so of course he knows where you live!

First name isin’t Neddy, is it? Neddy Snowgoon?

Calvin’s snowmen. Always a trip.

Mom seems pretty relaxed about a deranged mutant killer snowgoon at the door.

The snowman’s after you kid!!!! Karma!!!!!

Bringing your enemy to your own door step means Mom has to step in. Then you’re both in trouble.

And He Knows What You Did Last Summer too, Calvin…

OK, Calvin – no more “Monster Chiller Horror Theater” for you…

Enjoying the comments almost as much as the comic.

Don’t worry, Calvin. It will just disappear in warmer weather. Like a miracle. . . .

Perhaps Calvin, as the snowman’s creator, he may think you are his deity.

Hopefully the snow man is not a voyeur.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

ahhhh…. I love the snow goons

Amazing how Calvin reaches that height for the head.

Invite him in and crank up the thermostat.

The Doctor told me, and I am going to repeat it for Calvin, “Don’t blink.”

Frosty the Snow Zombie…

…sic the big cat on him. The animation sequencing should be great…

Snow goons are the worst kind. Luckily, they hate SoCal.

maybe mom should use her hair drier. it’s a super effective weapon against snowmen! XD

Turn up the heat and open the front door. He’ll leave.

He sees him. with those souless eyes made from coal.

this was one of my favorite story lines

Maybe the snowman is GEORGE WINSTON!!!!!! Key bored positioning has now been established.

And he fixes an icy stare on Calvin, too…! :D

I can see her calling Calvin’s Dad at work.

“There’s a snowman at the front door.”

“There’s no man at the front door?”

Calvin in the distance: “He’s trying to get in.”

“There’s no man at the front door and he’s trying to get in? I’m sure it’s just a salesman. I’ll check on it when I get home.”

“There’s snow weighting against the door.”

“Let him wait.”

“You mean you’re coming home , NOW, right?”

“I’m on my way.”

If this was Wallace The Brave’s Mom, she would believe him. https://assets.amuniversal.com/1afe1ce02658013788f1005056a9545d

Throw a little warm water over his head!

Calvin, open the door. Then the snow goon will get crushed because the door hit him.

How did Calvin get in?

no one does snowmen like Calvin

Dean Morton wants YOU! Snow is so subjective when salt shakers appear.

Whether he knew he was doing it or not, Mr. Watterson mastered drawing ‘mom-jeans.’

talk about the creator scared about his creation

This is my favorite series

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IT KNOWS WHERE HE LIVES
