Calvin and Hobbes photo-shoped into real photos

Here is what made me do it. The inspiration of much of spiffs landscapes come from southwestern scenery, such as monument valley, and Waterson's influence of Krazy Kat

SAT Vocab Review with Calvin and Hobbes: Atrophy

Atrophy:
Gradually decline in effectiveness or vigor due to underuse or neglect

Calvin and Hobbes final strip ran 15 years ago.

Got the The Complete Calvin and Hobbes just a few days ago and noticed that it had been almost 15 years since the final strip ran! crazy. Today we hit exactly 15 years since the last strip ran on 12/31/1995. Nothing as been as good since as far as i can tell. I pretty much just read the one with the rat and the zebras anymore.
 The collection is great. Beautifully printed copies of every strip. Unlike the old printings each page is heavy paper and printed in glossy ink. Also included is a nice new introduction (though I wish it were longer) that includes this oil painting (right). Makes you want to see more of what Mr Watterson can do. Not sure when or if that will happen but here is hoping. I think I would put just behind the The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book that has a lot of good notes about the strips, and The Lazy Sunday Book book as the best Calvin and Hobbes purchases.

This might be super old news to some but I was just shown this terrible alternative reality final strip of Calvin and Hobbes.  Probably one of the more depressing things ever written. I can't believe someone felt the need to kill off Hobbes.










And one more thing. Here is my photo print of a painting done by a friend of mine of one of the best Calvin and Hobbes strips ever. Here is the link to his blog.

where do we come from? what are we? where are we going? Calvin and Gauguin

Saw this piece at the MFA and thought "Gauguin... why do I know that name." I guess the memory stuck from reading this strip when I was ten. One more strip i get the reference for. The great thing is that it was funny before and is funny now. Just switching from looking at it from Calvins perspective to his mothers.

I spent more time in the dictionary reading calvin and hobbes then any school work I did and I would love to know the difference it made on my SAT.

As might be obvious this did not happen



people keep getting here by googling "how to make calvin and hobbes snow men." I think it should be pretty self explanatory or I would add details here. in any event buy this book:The Complete Calvin and Hobbes and buy me a copy while you are at it. I want it bad but can't seem to pony up the $ since i have most of the content in other books. for those of you seriously into the snowmen specifically there is always this:
