Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 14, 2012

Christmas is rounding turn 2………

Face it Dad, Calvin is a little you.

Just buy him a lot of underwear, Dad.

I have to give so much presents to many people, I do certainly enough for our country!

Ask not what your country can do for you. Instead ask what you can do …JFK

Man now I know where leaders of world economys got the idea of spending to prosperity. They researched Calvin and Hobbes cartoons

In today’s economy, A few pairs of spare underwear isn’t such a bad idea. You just might need them.

How do you know he’s not watching NBR?

It is important to show that eternal growth is impossible in our small world. So practice abstinence.

Oh yeah…stimulus. Is that working yet?

Wow… is this strip dated. Today dad would leave the New York Times around and Calvin would demand everything free for ever and ever as a sense of entitlement.

wsj has been circling the drain ever since murdock got into it.

Hey? Does anyone have an approximate year this particular Calvin was penned? It’s bringing back memories from the early 1970s – I think…

He’s smarter than he acts like he is!

Yes, you really do, Dad.

LOL xxx

be smart Calvin …. ha ha hh

I’ve got to hide this one from the kids.

And while you’re at it, make sure the gifts were made in America, and/or produced locally.

Amazing! 20 years since this strip and we still are dealing with the same economic problems. No balanced budget. Government spending more than they take collect, printing more money, driving inflation higher. No energy policy. Our house and senate leaders are worthless. Just imagine another 20 years of this behavior. Throw the bums out!

I see Calvin believes in the “trickle down” Theory.

It amazes me how accurate and up to date the world is with this strip. Either Bill Waterson is a futurist or the world has not changed.

Corporate America along with the White House or am I missing the point of BILLIONS in stimulus spending. BTW, has the White House staff gotten caught up on paying their income tax?

I hate it that the “job creators” blame their lack of creating jobs on consumers, meanwhile withholding loans to businesses and giving themselves golden parachutes. If job creators were doing their job, unemployment would not be an issue. Ignorant rant done.

Todays list: iPhone, iPad, plus all the accessories. Look to spend a grand, plus the monthly charges.

just don’t leave your Playboy’s out, Calvin is grown up enough.

Just don’t leave those tabloids out.

Prayers for Connecticut school children, parents, and educators. Speechless.

Looks like economists STILL are giving bad advice. Maybe we should do like the Federal Reserve does and xerox $20 bills to pay for Christmas.

I don’t know what year of the WSJ Calvin has been reading. These days the paper is considerably to the left in its political orientation, and the word “profit” is considered obscene as is its definition.

I’m pretty sure this particular strip is almost 20 years old, it’s amazing how well the joke holds up today.

Calvin’s Dad has to be a job-creator. Being Calvin’s Dad isn’t stressful enough.

Calvin is cool and funny
