Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 16, 2012

I like this type of snow job and love the last panel.

That’s why a toboggan is great, but a luge is better!

Never had a toboggan, but we had garbage can lids!

How safety conscious can calvin be? He keeps a pet tiger that attacks him daily…

haha, this is why I love Calvin XD

A hazard!

True insight into the workings of a six-or-so year old mind; looks like fun, Let’s go for it! (Dang the 4 guidos; full speed ahead!!)

My younger brothers made their own sled, it ended up with nails sticking up thru the boards. 1st one down the hill hit a tree and a nail tore him a ‘new one’.

Enjoy it while you can…. “Rosebud.”

Danger is their middle names.

Yep, I relate to that. We called them ’Hill Trolleys" though.

If there’s a hint of danger in it, Calvin will do it. Hobbes will probably jump off the first chance he gets.

" Wheeeee… Wheee wheee … wheeeeeeee! ".“Pure adrenalin” Wheeeeeeeee

but Cal must try befor Hobbes o.kay

just love Calvin so much to day

Especially down steep hills, where you can sometimes go airborne.

Oh yes, I remember the suicide sled. I myself had a Philadelphia Flyer (fastest sled on the planet,at least in my little child mind it was) and would fly past me sledding friends on toboggans. Those were the days (when I was Calvin).

This confirms that Calvin really likes to be mauled by Hobbes when he comes home from school!

It’s dangerous! …’snow good!

“This sled is truly a hazard to life and LIMB …especially if you hit a tree!

Reminds me of using food trays down a large hill from the dorm in college. You would be going at least 40 mph when you got to the bottom where it was full of trees and no way to steer. Some of us never grow up.

I can find Colorado and 1st ave on google earth, but what happened to Colorado blvd? Maybe the 101 freeway?

Calvin looks so cute when he’s wrapped up.

So does Hobbes!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

LOL xxx

snow, crusted with frozen rain that turn the sledding surface to ice…. THAT’S a great way to sled

this brings me back, oh the sentimentality :)

yep, had one of those, too!

Man, I would love to go sledding about now!

I have 2 scars on my right knee from a toboggan run gone wild in the 70’s. Was bringing all the empty beer cans down from the top of the suicide hill (Big Bear, CA.) stowed in the front of it with my legs outside. Did I mention I’m much more smarter now?

How did any of us survive our childhoods? No helmets, knee pads, cell phones, etc. Sure was fun, though.

This reminds me of my childhood home. We were the only house on the street which went up in an incline most cars probably couln’t make. As you can guess, every winter friends, and other kids from around the neighbohood would use the street for sleeding, I saw it all, from innertubing to snowboarding, plastic sleds, to toboggans. My mother would always yell at us because once you hit the bottom, you were thrown out into the middle of the street with no warnings to cars. And if you kept going from there, you would wind up in the lake, I sup;pose we had the spirit of Calvin in us those days, lol
