Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 13, 2024

Your questions sound very suspicious…..

Instant death builds character.

Just get it over with Calvin so Dad can punish you.

Especially if done to your father.

Questions that hit home

Surprising Dad didn’t make Calvin shovel the snow.

I wonder where that family lives. Must be pretty far north to have so much snow for Calvin to create his “goons”.

That’s a pretty hard “graze”, Calvin.

Calvin could have used the late Johnnie Cochran as his lawyer.

And in that case, Santa won’t have to bother judging the goodness of your last act.

“If you have to shoot, shoot. Don’t talk” Almost a quote from Toco in “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly”.

Calvin’s mind going, “Come ON, Dad! I. Just. Gotta. Hit. SOMEBODY! NOW!!”

If you feel the need to throw a snowball, throw it at something that won’t retaliate, like a snowman!

Calvin, exactly why are you asking me this? Is there something I should know?

Thank God WOKE is dead or Dad would be thrown in jail for child abuse for threats of violence and severely damaging Calvin’s self esteem. God Bless America!

Dad is a bit slow this morning. But then he isn’t usually on the game with Calvin

Calvin, do not throw snowballs at your father. Don’t forget, Christmas is in 12 days.

So does his dad just walk out into the middle of the sidewalk or driveway and start shoveling? There’s snow all around him.

Calvin has moral quandaries?

Investigation before contempt!!!!!!!

So sweet. Gotta love those father/son moments.

I wonder if Dad knows he has been ‘targeted’ by Calvin?? Where is Hobbes when he is needed? At least Dad let him know the consequences for an unprovoked first strike.

Would it be worse to try to hit someone and miss, or to try to miss someone and hit?

You’ve never been to Iowa during a normal winter have you?

So attempted murder isn’t as bad as murder. Isn’t that rewarding people for failure?

Especially today. It’s not only Friday the thirteenth, Friday the thirteenth falls on a Friday this month! That’s the worst!

Ask a silly question…… ;-)

And an hour shoveling snow.

The dad thing kicked in at last!

Sort of like North Korea launching missiles that don’t hit anything?

“Good to know, thanks, Dad!”

Don’t sugar coat it Dad, just tell him the truth!

Moral philosophy, a regular symposium.

Your regular reminder that Calvin’s dad is an attorney.
