    Don’t move too close, Calvin. Hobbes has long arms and a wicked aim.

    Calvin, you need to come out to attack. May be you can run back before Hobbes gets into his act.

    At least that will be fun instead of just sitting inside your fort.

    Maybe the fort idea is not so good at all .. it should just be plain fight it out .. dont ya think? (though am sure Hobbes would come out winning that way .. )

    calvin forgot to practice throwing over summer, that’s probably why he can’t reach hobbs

    or maybe the walls of the fort are too high and they have to throw the snowballs up at an arc

    You’d think that, after making all those creepy snowmen that Calvin would have more arm strength! Presuming that the failed projectiles in front of Hobbe’s fort were his and that Calvin is approx. 4 feet tall, Calvin doesn’t seem to be able to throw further than ~14 feet.

    You need to work on that fastball, guy!

    But it looks like Hobbes, from a panel several days earlier, can throw a 75 MPH fastball snowball at least a good 25 feet. Maybe Calvin should be thankful that Hobbes appears to be having either a bad day or mercy.

    The way I throw I’m as good as Calvin. And I’m rt handed and with my poor sore poppin rt shoulder worse. Monday I will be having surgery but still I will never throw anything that great.

    The ones who talk about bikini spamming where I work at fortunatly they watch out for that they will get rid of whoever. But I wish to give thanks to the ones who flaged bikini as I have enough problems with internet virus. They’re saying it’s been on all gocomics sites. This is suppose to be a safe site and funny site for all. So goaway virus.

    I’m all for Zippy007’s quote, it’s just not apropos to this strip in any way.

    Zippy007 , try this one instead:

    (1 Kings 20:11 NKJV) So the king of Israel answered and said, “Tell him, ‘Let not the one who puts on his armor boast like the one who takes it off.’ “

    A couple of snowball master blasters would fix that problem right away!

    There have been a lot of self promoters and sales spam going on lately on this site. I flag all of it. Don’t click their links. You could end up on infected pages. Just report it so they can remove the accounts.

    So Zippy posted a quote that he believes relates to the strip. Leave him alone. Who cares??? It doesn’t require the insulting, hate revolt that happened April 7th.

    Nice job Dogsniff.

    As usual, BlueCrystalTopaz jumped right in with the God insults, and calling people names, while you know she has the coexist bumper sticker on her car, below the stick on inverted pentagram.

    I missed my comics earlier this week so I wasn’t here for the hate fest… but I have to say MrsLukeSkywalker has a very good point.

    There are far too many people in the world who feel the need to insult anyone who does not believe the same things that they do. I realize that the atheists are not the only ones who do this, but they seem to be the ones who post here.

    As for the Bible quote… even if you do not believe it to be the word of God, it is still a good book and has influenced our civilization greatly.

    I seem to be more interested in the spam trap and how to avoid it. and what is it, anyway. I’m old and new to all of this. If I infect the computer that everyone uses, I’m toast.

    @ bluetopazcrystal No need for name calling here. The reference at least refers to the joke in the strip: the need to be closer.
