Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 21, 2025

It should be etched in stone, not meltable…..

Wait until someone pushes that snowman down the stairs.

Knowing how Calvin is for details, I am wondering how detailed the front of that snowman is?

I presume we’re looking at the back of the snowman because of the detail Calvin put in the front?

You’re too late, Calvin; there’s already a nude statue of Trump!

Future generations will have a whole new language and be scratching their heads on what it means. Just like use trying to figure out ancient writings on walls.

The future generation had better get here before Spring.

Reminds me of my neighbour who was going to art school. Each student was given a large block of styrofoam to sculpt. She went into it (she said) with no plans or drawings. Showed me the finished product. To me it looked like a naked behind of someone kneeling on a floor. “That’s on you! I never thought of that!” Oh yes she did—subliminally. Everyone who saw it said it looked like a butt.

Too bad he has not developed an appreciation for the female form yet

Is a nude allowed to wear a hat?

Hardly nude, with a hat.

Marcel Duchamp is not amused …

Nice butt.

I guess it should’ve been called “Plumber descending staircase”.

This can only escalate.

Hobbes as always with the comment that passes over our heroes head.

Ooh! Your parents are so gonna take a snow shovel to that before they take a snow shovel to you!

There’s a second carrot and couple of walnuts in the front… told to The Count by a friend.

I’d never considered this before, but if a snowman had a behind, wouldn’t it be between the middle and bottom ball of snow? I mean, it the panel is correct, where exactly WOULD the anatomically correct organ in the front be? (Shudder)

How does Mr. Nude descend the stairs with no legs?

I´ll pass today….

Well I’d buy that!

Calvin’s model obviously wasn’t his mother.

Isn’t this supposed to be a family strip?

Alas. So far away from Rodan.

Really impressive being 3x his height.

Lots of low level comments today. Wonder if this arc drew the same kind in ‘95? Probably. By then the ’nitty gritty’ was the substance of many conversations, movies. and some tv shows.

Calvin the realist…

Not with this.

Sadly, Calvin’s art will not transcend summer.

That is one strong kid. That much snow weighs a lot!
