Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 03, 2022

How can anyone not be proud of a son capable of doing this?

Is Calvin’s middle name Kilroy?

Run Dad! It’s Snowzilla!

Snowman Ziggy.

On a side note, our good friend Leading Edge helped me modify an old Doonesbury script to address the COVID pandemic. I would post a link to it but it’s already been removed from Twitter, and I’m afraid I might be banished from here if I post it.

An artist’s work is never done

It looks like Dill from Cul de Sac.

Yikes! Please try to stay in Cul de Sac, Dill, yer scaring us!

The original snow goon?

Good one!

Assuming Calvin isn’t committed later in life he appears to have a future as a conceptual sculptor.

XD. Love how dad’s hat jumps!

Dill, is that you?

What a brilliant, gorgeous comic this is. Just pen and ink, spare drawing, three panels. Calvin surveys the snow/landscape like an artist sees a canvas. He works on his vision. The final effect. No words needed whatsoever.

Fearsome Kilroy!

Keep Calvin’s snowpeople coming. I love all of them.

This was an easy day for Calvin’s mom

Whatever one can say about Calvin, he IS industrious!

This one made me chuckle.

Now he needs to write in the snow, “Kilroy was here”. And you KNOW how he would write in the snow!

I love the snowmen! I’ve often thought that they wouldn’t be hard to make.

Classic

This explains why Calvin’s parents hate him.

And why they never had another child.

Calvin shows true artistic genius and should be doing Christo-esque art installations at this point.

Calvin recreated himself, spiky hair and all.

Big (Snow) Brother is watching you, Dad!

How did Dill get in here?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I’ve always wanted to try this!

Maybe that’s Kilroy’s little brother.

“CALROY was here! "

I love Snow Goon week.

Dill!

Why didn’t I think of that…?

Glad to see the snowmen (women) are back!

The Hills have Eyes

I’ve deduced Banksy’s identity.

A choice between Calvin’s snowmen and Wiley’s Bears, is a toss-up of pure fun. Either is great. Together hilarious.

Oddly enough, that looks like me peeking out from under my covers at a Monday. …ick

Dill???

Oh my gosh, It’s Dil from Cul De Sac! Lol!

Could you imagine if our hats/hair actually did spring off our heads whenever we were surprised?

Nothing beats Calvins snow art..Too bad they never combined the snow art with spaceman spiff.

Dill?

It’s Dill from Cul de Sac!

It’s Dill from Cul de Sac

I love the fantasy, but could you imagine moving that much snow?

Reminds me of Dill from the strip Cul De Sac.

OK – clever; but it’s all a matter of perspective…

Well, it would appear the consensus of posters here agree, it’s Dill, from Cul de Sac…

Yes, Dad. You are being watched.

-----oooo(_)oooo-----

___ɯɯ°U°ɯɯ___

Not sure which one I think looks better…

This is my all-time favorite of Calvin’s snow creations…

Or perhaps Chad?

Here’s looking at you Dad.

Looks like Dill from Cul de Sac.

Looks like he was here too.

My all-time favorite Calvin and Hobbs are the snowman episodes!

Perspective is truly amazing.

Here’s a mind boggler. What if Kilroy’s last name was “Was” and he was just introducing himself each time. Kilroy Was here.

Classic

Is it just me or does that look like dill from Cul de Sac

Kilroy froze here.

This is why I love little boys. Their minds are just fascinating.

Calvin is more than a little odd, but he makes the BEST snowmen.

Killroy IS here!!!!

Why is this comment section the exact same comments over and over again?

I remember seeing this one before.

Damn funny, hard to type when you are laughing. Please excuse any typos you find in this message.

Calvin has an eye for art.

7/10. No actual talking in the strip.

this is AWESOME! hahaha

When I was a kid, I used to binge-read the collected edition books, even though I would still read the comics in the paper on Sundays. Reading it daily now, as “a grown-up,” I’m reminded every day why Calvin and Hobbes is my favorite comic of all-time. Even just the art in that last panel made me laugh out loud.

“On that day, mankind received a grim reminder, we lived in fear of the titans and were disgraced to live in cages we called walls”

And his parents wonder why he didn’t do his homework

Cal-roy was here.

Everyone seems to have settled on the snowman resembling Dill, and here I was thinking the kid from the “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” series

Vintage Calvin

This is Calvin’s best snowman!

10/10

just imagen walking down then boom SNOWZILLA plays readoactive song

Slightly funny.

Looks like Dil from Cul-de-Sac.

There must be some irony in snow-Dill, but it’s dad’s hat popping off.

Kilroy was here.

looks like Dill from the Cul de Sac comic!

That is nothing short of brilliant by Calvin.

Dad ought to be impressed when he learns it was Calvin’s work.

Kilroy was here. (Also a classic Styx album from 1983.)

Snow sculpture is Calvin’s real talent.

Dill!

Great visuals on this one, with Calvin’s giant snowman. Wonder what he used to make the nose … ?

Fun.

Great prank on the dad! I probably would have reacted the same way but then after the initial shock, I would be laughing. I’d even have to give him credit for a good one.

Simply Brilliant!

Where does Calvin live?? That’s a LOT of snow!
