Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 21, 2025

Calvin is so cold that he can use his nose drippings as a pair of chopsticks.

Yuck!

Every little breeze seems to whisper a sneeze…..

You can do it Calvin, it just needs to be a little colder.. why don’t you count to a thousand and try again?

Says the creature whose idea of a bath is to lick himself all over.

Unfortunately, stuffed toys are seldom solitary.

At what temperature does Spit freeze? I read in an old book (Jack London) that it cracked at -60F when it hit the snow.

A sneeze would be a little cooler I think. I doubt Calvin will get those temperatures to find out.

Good way to spread germs, assuming they’re cold resistant.

Yes, Hobbes, But all it took was a tuna sandwich and a noose trap.

Preservation of the sneezeus!!!!!

His sneeze snot is all on his face ??? Man, that’s nasty, even for him!

Wow! A snotball! Imagine Suzy getting his in the mush with that. Not only the shock value of a snowball but in a week she would come down with a cold.

That’s nothing to sneeze at..

Thought that was Neil Diamond

Cats maybe solitary creatures, they do need some social interaction regularly. Even wild cats will seek out other cats for company sometimes.

Calvin! For that to happen, the temperature would have to be so low, humans won’t be able to survive!

Actually, Calvin is right. That would be really cool!

Icky, but it does sound kind of fun.

Ok, I honestly agree with Calvin

What a fun run of comments today. Makes Cal’s idea look civilized.

Jack London tells us that the temperature can do that (with spit) in Alaska!

I’ve thought the same thing about farts.

Tigers may be solitary, but domestic housecats are social animals. It’s one of the differences between them and their closest wild relatives.

It would have to be cool for the sneeze to freeze. Maybe even cold.

Only you, Calvin, only you.

Have to love Hobbes…

Some things are better left as thoughts, Calvin

Better still, have a tinkle and create your very own walking stick!

Cats also don’t eat the yellow snow

Of course it would be cool, it’s FROZEN!

the older i get and the way things are headed, i am becoming more solitary every day!

From Google: Hot water can appear to “freeze instantly” when exposed to air temperatures significantly below zero degrees Fahrenheit, typically around -42 degrees Fahrenheit; this is because at such extreme cold, the water rapidly loses heat and forms ice crystals almost immediately upon contact with the frigid air.

Nah, man. Just 3D print it!

That would be cool!

Hobbes the voice of reason, as always ! ;-)

O the Possibilities!!

Yean Hobbs, but you can’t say you haven’t thought about that before, right?

People wonder why some people are solitary.

Cats are just snot social.

Go to Antartica.

Must be the company big cats attract. Nobody is home up there.

When I lived in Michigan and ran in the winter I very often did have my scarf freeze in the shape of my lips.
