Santaclaus

Santa Claus in a Sunday Strip

Santa Claus appears and is referenced several times in Calvin and Hobbes.

Role

He is usually mentioned when Calvin debates how good he should be at Christmas time. He does, however, appear entirely a few times: Calvin once imagined an alter-ego Evil Santa giving destructive presents to bad children and clothes to the well-behaved, leading to Santa's first full-body appearance in the strip (as well as a poem). Also, Calvin pictured Santa ranking Calvin's deservedness of presents based on evidence and accounts and worrying about what Santa considered of him. Finally, in a weekday strip, as Calvin snowballs Susie, she mentions Santa, and Calvin pictures the face of an angered Saint Nick frowning down at him.

Santa's most prominent role in the series was in a Sunday strip in which he discusses Calvin's behavior with one of his elves and decides on a positive verdict, only to observe through a surveillance monitor that Calvin's restlessness is keeping him awake at night. Whether or not this was all imaginary is left ambiguous.

Calvin once imagined what if Santa had an "Evil twin" who gave presents to the naughty children.
