Inspired on The Duckman’s retroactive ruining of my most cherished childhood memories, I thought for this week I’d take a look at what the Internet had to offer on my favorite comic strip of all time: Calvin and Hobbes. A new Calvin hasn’t graced the funny pages in over 15 years, predating even Google. But I love Calvin with a fiery passion that consumes my soul. “So,” I thought, “Web 2.0: do your worst.” Boy, was I dumb. I’m not even gonna do a break down on what you’re getting. Just snarky captions. Enjoy.
Yeah, because what I've always wanted more of from "Calvin and Hobbes" was "The Boondocks."
AAAAAAUUUUGGGGHHH! Their eyes! Their horrible, horrible eyes!
Charming. The slogan in the bottom right is a nice touch. Now, please excuse me while I puke up all this overwrought nostalgia.
Awww, they're all grown up. And Susie and Calvin get along on some level at least. Fuck you.
Not only does this suppose Calvin grew up to be well enough adjusted to impregnate a woman and get at least visitation rights, but it also assumes he started combing his hair.
For an added bonus, this one has Winnie the Pooh. You know, for context.
OMG! OMFG!
What I've always enjoyed about "Calvin and Hobbes" was how realistic the strip was.
It's interesting that people seem to assume Calvin would have a daughter. I generally assume karma would give him a son.
