Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 02, 2021

Sorry, Calvin, your Dad isn’t Evil Knievel (I’m surprised he drives a stick shift).

Because it’s better than the bus, Calvin.

Has Calvin been watching Evel Knievel?

" just a good ‘ole boy. never meanin’ no harm….."

Why not a big fire line too?

Actually, the reason it wouldn’t work is because the mutant snowman would be at the top of the ramp just waiting to grab Dad.

Well, I think it’s a good idea…

I like the way that kid thinks, even if his dad doesn’t… Support creativity!

An anagram of “information superhighway” is “Wimp, Earth surfing in Yahoo.”

Vanilla ice cream life but chocolate syrup dreams!

Come on Dad, just this once.

Dad’s expression in the 3rd panel…

The only thing missing from Calvin’s idea is how much to charge everyone to watch the stunt show!

I went out three time yesterday to shovel to try and stay ahead of the snow.

Calvin coulda been in the Joie Chitwood Thrill Show.

That’s a good idea. At least the part that goes “shovel the snow into a ramp”. Well, the shovel part at least.

I do see why certain people won’t have cars until they’re 28!

Don’t know that Dad could get up that much speed in reverse.

That’s exactly how I go to work every day.

Personally, I think that would be really cool!

Calvin, you’re insane.

Calvins dad has been beaten down so far that he just cannot get up the imagination to smile at his kid.

I’d be lying if I said that I haven’t occasionally “licked the stamp and sent it” on days when the snow isn’t quite bad enough to justify getting up early to clear it off before work, but still bad enough the plows came by and backed up a hump of snow at the end of the driveway.

Says the kid wants to get behind the wheel.

I never noticed just how big the shovel is compared to Calvin.

Not many cars with a manual clutch these days. :-(

… or children. (Just kidding)

I sometimes wonder why certain people drive sports or performance cars. While I don’t advocate speeding or unsafe driving, I do like to move along at a brisk pace. When I approach a red light and there is one car in each lane in front of me, I base my lane decision on the type of car I want to follow. For example, I’ll choose to be behind the Porsche rather than the Buick. But sometimes, I’ll end up behind a sports car that’s moving so slowly it makes me wonder why the person bought the car in the first place.

Isn’t he a little young to be forced to shovel out a whole driveway?

im telling u this is a rerun

because calvin… We need to go faster and we don’t need bikes ALL THE TIME for “Energy” and why would we waste time using it because all it would do is make some people people late except middle school-late high school (i live in florida so it’s common for us kids in 6th grade to use our bikes to school). their you go calvin.

Works for me!

Cracked an axle on Oklahoma ice one time. Does that count?

Clutch?

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Shoveling the driveway seems like an awfully big job for a 6 year old.

Probably a mini-van…

Um…6 year olds help their Dad shovel, they don’t shovel the driveway themselves.
