If you are not a fan of Calvin and Hobbes, a comic strip written and illustrated by Bill Watterson, then you may not know that Calvin was an imaginative little boy who created snowmen and put them in scenes that would be straight out of a snowman’s nightmare. Little Calvin would have the snowmen in scenes where the snowmen would die horrible, mostly painful, deaths. For ten winters, Calvin and Hobbes created entire worlds of snowmen living or dying in unhappily ever after ways. Here are some of the best snowmen nightmares, where fans of the comic strip created tributes to Calvin and Hobbes snowmen in real life.

He sure must have, for he had an amazing insight into a kid's world. I liked the way the tiger was only shown alive when the parents weren't around. My favorites were the Spaceman Spiff strips when calvin would daydream in class. I think Watterson tried to sell the Spiff strip first, got nowhere, then did the Calvin & Hobbes thing.

I was a terrible daydreamer, but managed to make up the work somehow. I did school the hard way. You know how I am. A subject comes up and I’m off on a flight of fantasy.
Once I’m back to earth, it isn’t long before a new tangent pops up.
I’m sorry, I missed this post!
I know how much you read, and not fiction either, lol. Yes, I know you get distracted from one thing to another. I also know you are very intelligent.
