Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 19, 2023

Can’t wait!

Santa will take that into consideration for next year.

Fire sale on snowballs…..

Santa is still watching.

Please remembers that the 12 days of Christmas actually starts on Christmas day and counts down to Epiphany on January 6.

Here’s hoping that the old bearded guy has a short memory.

Unless elves get to the pile first. Elves deserve some fun.

I never got this one. Anyone?

Calvin I hope a warm front doesn’t move thru between now and then. And melts all of your hard work.

Planning ahead. Starting Dec. 26, he has 365 days left to sell Santa on the idea he belongs in the “nice” half. You want to leave room for improvement over time. Surprisingly mature for his age.

The day after Christmas is when Santa repossesses the presents of all the kids who faked being good.

That’s why it’s called “Boxing Day”.

He doesn’t mess around.

Not if they start thawing, and then re-freeze

First the presents. Then Susie.

Yeah because it’ll be 45° outside.

Isn’t planning to be bad the same as being bad?

Do you think Santa doesn’t see this and know you plan to bomb Susie with these snowballs as soon as you get your gifts for supposedly being good? He knows everything about you Calvin, he knows in your heart you’re not good so you might as well forget getting any presents at all. Go ahead and throw all these snowballs at Susie and Santa will take pity on her and she’ll be the one getting all the good gifts.

Susie isn’t gonna be having a good Boxing Day.

If Calvin throws all of those he’s gonna have a sore arm until Easter.

Big build up to a very likely big letdown.

No Snow Goons No Vote

Shock and awe

Snow stockpile…

Calvin has big plans for Susie… LLOL

I think planning to do bad things is, itself, bad.

assuming it doesn’t melt before that happens. :\

You are going to be in so much trouble!

That’s it, Calvin – work out those frustrations!

It will be 56 Degrees and sunny.

Calvin might land some snowballs if he practiced baseball, but he’ll be a laughing stock

Epic, and how!

“But I say to you, he who hoards a supply of snowballs with malicious intent has already launched those snowballs in his heart.”

I bet every one of them has Susie Derkin’s name on them!

Sintering

Tryin’ to stay outta trouble is not easy for some people

Unless, like in many parts of the country, it will be unusually warm – just enough to melt snowball stockpiles.

Counting on Santa having a very short memory.

Where does Calvin get all that snow?
