Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 29, 2025

Hey, even snow creatures need to go.

Haha! That is pretty good!

The dog’s girl friend, on Buckles…..

Now Calvin can blame yellow snow on the snow dog.

Aw, shaddap, whoever you are! Can’t you appreciate artistic genius? It’s just too bad that Rover didn’t model for it!

A snowman peeing? This is worse than decapitated snowmen, or snow sharks, or Calvin performing brain surgery on a snowman???! (All of which occurred in a C&H strip.)

I love Calvin’s snow creations.

His artistic impulses are being repressed .

Now if only he could find a way to make a stream between the dog and the hydrant…

Poor thing froze to death…

My ding a ling.

This is a good job for a boy his age.

Oh, c’mon – when ya gotta go…

Today’s strip follows on very nicely with Saturday’s strip of Calvin imagining himself as a dog and Dad commenting on Calvin “getting to the bathroom and back very quickly”.

Gotta admit, while Calvin’s sketches and paintings leave plenty to be desired, his snow works are always masterpieces!

A Masterpiece! Bravo! Bravo!

Okay now proves that you is not a robot. Choose all the panels with a fire hydrant.

So he’s a nature lover. Appreciate that, dad.

Art critics are always watching you, Calvin…

Who’s a good boy ?

He has to have the greatest imagination when it comes to snow art.

I don’t spot anything wrong.

I love that kid!

At lest it is not the “little pee boy”!!!!!

Impressive!

Deeper and deeper …..

Classic Cal [and almost every other single digit-aged male, but also including some in very late middle age.]

ROFLMAO

A true artist is never appreciated by their Mom…

It just occurred to me that the angry cry from “Alvin and the Chipmunks” would work very well here too:

“Cal-vin!” ㋡

Art and life. Inseparable.

He could continue with sand castles in the summer. Some good prize money in that

That snow dog looks like Biscuit from Stone Soup.

Hey, Mom, I think it’s cute! Wonder if any kids got ideas after seeing this one!

A true artist.

Definitely one of the funniest later snow strips! It’s even funnier than the similar subject strip from last Saturday involving dogs doing their business. And that snow dog is cute.

My grandfather had 2 ceramic figures on his dresser’ one was a hydrant, one was a Dalmatian with lifted leg. Wish I’d gotten them when he passed.

Only Bill can see things in right perspective. A genius.

Why the complaint? This is one of Calvin’s more tame snow creations.

I love Calvin, he’s one warped little dude ! ;-)

Search-engine “Ernie Bushmiller How To Housebreak Your Dog” for another good one.

Why not? The fire hydrant doesn’t get used for much of anything else this time of year.

Now Calvin has to take a hike.

One reason why I like reading through the strips on GC, besides remembering favorites, are ones like this. I don’t recall this one, so it’s “new to me.” A pleasant bit today.

This is seriously hilarious!!! :-D

He grew up to be David Zinn, street chalk artist.

Banksy?

I swear that kid’s name is Calvin Banksy
