Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 08, 1989

Transcript:

calvin: c'mon, we'd better go outside for a while. hobbes: how come? calvin: mom's getting that look. this will be the best snow fort ever built! ok, the main fortress will be a wall five feet high, and go from here down over that hill, with turrets every 50 feet. over here we'll build an inner wall, in case we have to retreat, and a bin to hold our snow ball reserves. hobbes: got it. calvin: hmm...the snow doesn't pack too well, does it? hobbes: it's not wet enough. calvin: gosh, it'll take forever just to build the outer wall...even without the turrets. hobbes: i'm cold. calvin: me, too. let's go in. hobbes: maybe we can have some hot chocolate by a fire! calvin: this is more fun than actually building the fort anyway. now where should we put the icicle spikes? hobbes: all along the outer wall, after the moat. say, i think you got more marshmallows in your hot chocolate than i did.
