Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 15, 2008

The spark of hope goes out…

::snerk::   Move to Colorado. Not cold enough isn’t currently a problem.

g’morning Doll

As a kid growing up in Calif. I learned that wet grass makes a great slide.

Check out the blizzard Ali in North Dakota-45 below windchills-Yikes

Well if you guys had completed your trip to Yukon you could have had lots of snow and for lots longer. You might even have been able to get yourself a couple of ice worms.

I lovw Hobbes!

Bummer… Global Warming strikes again…

Move to SNAG, Yukon, whcih has the dubious distinction of recording the lowest temperature in Canada at -62.8°C (-81°F) … I promise you’ll have snow year round Calvin LMAO

Yeah, I grew up in Phoenix, where even wet grass is hard to come by. We would put a towel on a big block of ice and sit on it.

I think this shows an enviromental message,about global warming.

It is not officially winter yet!!

Maybe it’s a warning of the problems which come to us in our times.

Very politely Hobbes is protecting Calvin under the umbrella.

As I said over at Pibgorn, it keeps the riff-raff out.

I’ve been down in Arizona when it snowed. The Phoenixites (Phoenixers? Phoenitians??) anyway, they would take their trailers up to the snow, fill them up, then drive back down to the valley and have snowball fights (in shirt sleeves and shorts).

I think everyone’s reading a bit too much into a possible global warming message for this one, especially since I think this strip would have originally been published in October or something.

Calvin and Hobbes pre-dates the global warming scare.

Global warming is a hoax.

This is a comic. Meant to be funny… not discussed to death.

Kids huh! they only want it to snow not be cold they only want it to be warm not boiling glad I’m still a kid!

I get Calvin, where i am there’s no snow, and i love it!! Pitty….

I have snow storm in Reno/sparks, NV. but it would not last though. Who knows, though?

Sheesh, everybody knows that to make it get colder you have to put the themometer in the frig.

it snowed here for the first time in about 20 years this past thursday. I was as happy as could be i finally got my all time dream. whats funny is it snowed thurs and today (mon) we have the AC on go figure. lol

let it snow let it snow

Two under an umbrella.

Calvin is always the optimist.

I loved the snow when I was young. Now I can’t stand the stuff!

Calvin has himself mentioned global warning in earlier strips.

global warning how cute :)
