Black and white Calvin and Hobbes comic panel. A woman with dark hair, seated at a table, says in a speech bubble: "LIFE COULD BE WORSE, CALVIN." Calvin, a spiky-haired boy at the table, shouts back: "LIFE COULD BE A LOT BETTER, TOO!" The word "BETTER" is in italics. Black-and-white Calvin and Hobbes comic panel. Hobbes the tiger crouches in tall grass beside Calvin, a spiky-haired boy. Hobbes's speech bubble: "HOW COME?" Calvin's speech bubble: "I MUST OBEY THE INSCRUTABLE EXHORTATIONS OF MY SOUL." A 3-by-4 grid of twelve black-and-white Calvin and Hobbes panels of Calvin, numbered 1 to 12, under the heading "How are you feeling on this Calvin scale?" Calvin goes from calm in a winter hat (1), to grinning, wide-eyed, plotting, sulking, caped and snarling, and running in panic, to a furious scowl (12). Top-down photo of bright white snow with the imprint of a bird's outstretched wings pressed around a dark central hole. Feather lines fan out along both wings, and blue shadows trace the wing edges. No text appears in the image. Light blue illustration of a smiling cartoon girl in a winter hat and scarf ice skating with arms out. Her skate trail becomes looping calligraphy that reads "Fuck off". Signed "@YOYOHA" in the bottom right. A someecards user card with a green background. Text reads: "My favorite outdoor activity is going back inside where it's warm." Below, five bundled-up people in winter hats sit in a line on a sled sliding downhill. The logo reads "someecards user card".
