Better check the closet, with that guy you never know.

Hobbes is the shit!

I miss Watterson too. But this isn't the way to do it. This is cheap fanfiction that repeatedly misses the point of the original comics.
TGWeaver
The designs, the jokes, the art, the pacing -- everything is copied without understanding what made it worthwhile to begin with.
TGWeaver
I love Calvin and Hobbes. I grew up on it. Bill Watterson shaped my sense of humor and my love of art. But you, sir, are not Watterson.

Ok so we need to talk... bacon, who the fuck names their kid bacon?
curiouscorruption
It's supposed to be after Francis Bacon, but I agree that even as a nickname from that, it's really dumb.
RuBisCO1
Why not "Fran" short for Francine? jeez, don't screw with kids by giving them weird nick names.

I love C&H so much. recently found my entire collection when i thought they were destroyed. Also named my orange cat Hobbes and he is great
zylokun
....was that always "Donald trump is in my closet" ? I swear I remember it being different the first time i saw this.
gypsypunkforlife1
It was. But people fuckin suck and have to be topical and edgy.

Mr Bun really got a raw deal, huh?
Syko73
How did his daughter end up with Mr Bun? did he marry Suzie?

Apparently.

This isn't Calvin and Hobbes and isn't by the original artist though
PunsExceptTheyAreAFewHoursLate
This was at the end of one of the C&H books, but more stop-motion-ish. Someone took those poses and made this from them.

He's playing classical at 78 Rpm at 2 in the morning in this comic.
TheVenerableJudgeTaintyMcPoo
I think he means that Bacon and Hobbes isn’t made by Bill Watterson.

2011 and Trump already spreading chaos?
SydneySleeper
He was already an unlikeable asshole before the 2016 campaign. Here's an article from 2011 talking about the things he'd done (below)

The nostalgia floods me, AGH! EMOTIONS!!!
QuirkyWallace
I remember fondly going through the public library as a kid, trying to find every C&H books I can get my hands on. I’m still not sure 1/2
QuirkyWallace
if I had read them all. If I ever become a dad I’m going to buy the whole collection for my kids. What a treasure those comics are! 2/2

At least he'll be able to forget the time every now and then.

We all miss the boy and tiger. I respect Watterson for not being a Jim Davis art-whore for cash. It kept his characters pure.
crunchyDANGERhaystacks
Bill donated all of the original art to the Ohio State University cartoon museum. Anyone can go see it
SgtThunderfistMD
I completely agree. It's one of the great mysteries of the world. Would more CH have been a good thing or a bad thing? The series is perfect
MattTheImperialRadarTechnician
It's also the number one book to let 7 year olds read.
CatatonicCowMoo
I feel the same way. Also, Futurama.
TGWeaver
Which is absolutely why I think this "homage" is misguided at best.
scruffenheim
I have mixed feelings. I took these as a depiction of our collective nostalgia, and a glimpse at what could be. It's nice to imagine.
MichaelCBennett
Jim has more then admitted he made Garfield for marketability reasons. It's why garfields humor is based on relatability. I hate Monday too!
DownloadingDave
You mean "caturday"
darkhalfbreed
I love mondays, mainly because they are my "saturday"
idiotcube
So you hate Wednesdays instead?
Mulder61
Why o why make this political? Couldn't be " Satan is in my closet" 9or something funnier. Reluctant+1 for Calvin and Hobbes
IveNeverBeenGoodAtUsernames
lol Satan? Donald Trump is scarier than Satan by far.
Deadguy11
So you can’t be scared of Donald Trump before he was political??? Do you not remember Home Alone 2??? He undressed Kevin with his eyes!
Mulder61
I stand corrected
supergams
Also regardless of political affiliation, he's a legitimate piece of shit. All politicians etc. but its still worth remembering objectively
simianruler
The comic was made in 2011. It wasn't political back then.
CulturallyEmbiggened
Amazing.
bxnutmeg
People seem to forget that The Donald was an ass long before he was president.
BenSnow97
Apparently the best way to improve your public perception is to get into politics, that way only half the country will think you're an idiot

His voters seem to think he became a new man because he ran. Stupid.
Snooj
I hate these. They aren't funny or well written, just cheaply nostalgic.
Eaglemk4
Just go and hate life then
Snooj
I love life, man. Life is great. So is C&H. I have most of the books. But this isn't C&H. This is a cheap Rolex from a bum in an alley.
D7ve
So true.
Snooj
Downvote if you want, but he just copies Watterson's drawing style and jokes to steal fame. This doesn't offer anything.
MichaelCBennett
He didn't do it for fame, in fact this is all he did. That's all of them. It was homage to the work he loved, not theft.

Snooj
Yes, good opinion. I want artists to create art and to add something to the world, not matter how trivial, as long as it's authentic. 1-
Snooj
This garbage is just a desperate nostalgia grab with nothing of value, a direct manipulation of emotions feeding off of another artist's 2-
Snooj
life work. This isn't art. It's worse than a forgery. I do not like or want to encourage this trend. 3-3
