Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 16, 2010

Nothin’ but complaints, eh Calvin?

Well I glad he got through shoveling soon enough to have some fun

Good Morning and Good Night Marg

It would be better, Hobbes is steering!

Hey guys, where’s the sled?

The sled is ruined after this ride!

Exactly! You’re both lucky to be alive!

Good Morning Marg & BC13

Yeah……..but what about the gully and the stream….I’ll bet they’re fjord’ed for life!

‘Morning BC13 and Terry!

MontanaLady…was that a fjord or a chevy?

Ha ha! They look like snow monsters.

Run everybody! It’s the abominable snow fiends.

Well, I am glad you are both alive.

lol ;) its amazing to see how after all this hobbes is able to survive with calvin……reminds me of tom & jerry

That’s some really wet snow to stick that well or is it more like ice after they went through the stream. I’ve decide they’re Calvin and Hobbesicles! I had my Mom’s old wooden sled with the metal rails on the bottom growing up but it only worked in well packed snow. My favorite in the snow was a metal saucer. It went down the hills really fast and far while spinning around. It took my breath away and made me dizzy at the same time. Hours of fun sledding on a Sunday afternoon with my cousins and the neighborhood kids!

are we sure that’s calvin and hobbes?

ENFP Calvin 1, INFJ Hobbes 0. :))

(At least that’s my best guess…Hobbes seeming to be a manifestation of Calvin’s unconscious self, and also of his conscience.)

We used to use old cardboard boxes to slide down our hill: then our mum realized we looked poor, and spent some $ on one real plastic flying saucer. We used to race the saucer against the cardboard anyway.

We often looked just like Calvin and Hobbes after our runs.

OK, let’s go again!

He is glad he’s alive. But alive and warm would be better.

Don’t worry Hobbes, you’ll arrive at the crash site 10 minutes before the paramedics get there.

risk has it’s rewards. But mostly for young people.. ..to succeed in something dangerous , one simply must be able to shut out all realization of the peril you have put yourself into. as you get older and wiser one tends to recognize the possible consequences of one’s actions…

Dino you lived a great life and your childhood and what great stories. Evan talking about your grandkids is fun to read. It’s a wonder how Calvin has survived growing up. Too bad he never really had a friend. I know its a cartoon strip.

Being crazy is easy… Once you get over the fear of dieing! A fact I found easier to convince myself of when I was young. and naive enough not to get lost in all the details.

glad the stream was shallow, hobbs stuffing would smell horrible getting too wet

i took the lid from my moms wringer washing machine when i was about 9 years old to go sledding

boy was she ever mad seeing the paint scraped off and dents in it. it still sort of fit on the machine

Calvin, the master of indignant spin…

I guess Hobbes is a fatalist, isn’t he Calvin?

Reminds me of the bumper sticker that reads:

“If you don’t like the way I drive, stay off the sidewalk!”

Even with a layer of snow you can read the expression that each of them has; what a fun challenge that must have been.

CALVIN: “You should be glad we’re alive.” He’s always looking on the bright side of life.

Haha I love Calvin

Got a feeling they won’t find the sled ‘til spring.

@treBsdrawkcaB, ROFL! Was that bumper sticker on the back bumper, or the front?

Sometimes, people are too tough. like in Calvins case.

When I was a kid, we had an old Coca Cola sign that we used for sledding… one of those round metal ones.

The two of them are now the receipients of the “drive much these days?” award for the week…

There’s a reason old ladies live to be old ladies… haha

How lucky Calvin was to have been a child before the liberals banned childhood, made it illegal to go outside the house without a helmet and body armor, and illegal to let your kid go out and play without a body guard.

Calvin and Hobbes in early stages of Olympic training

we rarely got snow in my part of georgia. we use to use any cardboard box on the big clay hill (steep too) in the neighbor hood…. usualy after it rained… summer or winter

We loved using those giant truck innertubes. They had a tendency of flipping over when 10 people piled on and then the one on the top became the 1 on the bottom and the snow was like sand paper on the face!

By the way… the sled ride at least is safer than those wild wagon rides. At least the rocks are somewhat covered in snow!

ROFLOL! Great fun that brought back good memories of near death experiences!
