Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 10, 2023

…to a creative and imaginative son.

Says who?

Seeing snowman heads on sticks build character.

An artist is seldom appreciated in his time

Calvin and Hobbes must have really packed the snow together to keep them from falling apart on the sticks.

A little to close of a Ice Water Shave there Buddy !

It builds character……

I love Calvin’s snowmen.

Calvin the impaler. Later to become Count Calvina.

That would be Contessa Calvina surely? :D

In another strip, Calvin’s classmates voted him “most likely to be seen on the news some day”.

The snowmen have always been my favorite.

Calvin will be a celebrated artist if he lives to grow up.

Finally bringing back Calvin’s snow people. I like the heads on a stick! LOL

The folly of the snowmen who decided to try to defy the dreaded Lord Calvin!

So Calvin watched an old episode of “The Walking Dead” last night.

Entering Kings Landing. Winter is here.

If there were 10 heads, it would remind me of an episode of “The Walking Dead”. I have not cried harder during a TWD episode than that one.

Keeps the traffic down, though.

Calvin…the IMPALER‼️☺️☺️☺️☺️

Dad, in that black trench coat, looks more like the Impaler than Calvin. Apples don’t fall far from trees….

I’ll bet Rick Baker and Stephen King’s parents felt the same way. Until they bought them a house. (Disclaimer: I have no idea if either gentleman bought his parents a house.)

OK Dad. You’ve been warned.

I suppose it will drive fear into the hearts of rogue showmen and keep them from TP’ing your house.

I think Dad’s gotten desensitized to these after a while.

Calvin and Danae from Non Sequitur should get together, although I don’t think the world is quite ready for that. LOL

Whatever is he wearing on his feet?

Calvin just finished reading Lord of the Flies and was inspired

Calvin the impaler. . . .

My daughter’s best friend in school used to do much the same on my back deck – the view from my patio doors. Except she included blood with hers. Ah, the memories

In one of Heinlein’s books; on one planet establishments kept the severed heads of people who tried to hold them up, in the front window. After a time is became acceptable to have the head replaced with a model… Funny thing; after the first one, the recidivism rate was quite low.

The latest victims.

Dad sees that the Lil’ Barbarian is home from school….heads on pikes outside the gates.

Dads just a stick in the mud (snow).

Calvin must be of Roman descendant. Or Mayan?

Cal the Impaler

Be glad it’s there to keep away any boring riff raff

Intellectual comic and slightly eerie.

Calvin just finished watching “The Walking Dead”, Season 9, episode 15.

Calvin makes Dad’s day!!!

Mistah Calvin—he dead!

Calvin’s version of Easter Island?

And do people wonder why nobody visits Calvin’s house?

You need to have a talk with that child.

Funny… First thing we thought of was the image of Father Merrin in the “Exorcist” movie poster (especially 2nd panel). Could this be a very subtle joke?
