A winter wonderland . . . of pain!

Did you know it is physically impossible not to love Calvin and Hobbes? Mostly because a eugenics program sees to it that everyone who doesn’t like them is kept from breeding. True story. They would straight up cut off your balls or tie your tubes.

As a tribute to the greatest comic strip ever (apologies to Peanuts), Jim Frommeyer and Teague Chrystie put together this short movie, showing off a pitch-perfect recreation of Calvin & Hobbes’ beloved snowman torture creations. Anyone who remembers reading the original strips as a wee child will probably get the warm fuzzies, and everyone else will probably get at least a chuckle out of this. It’s just so damn cute!
