hobbes and bacon

prepare your hankies - this made me cry like a fucking babby.

i wasn't going to post it on watmm, but i posted it on facebook and the reaction was wonderful and amazing. i was surprised to see how many people love C&H as much as i do.

i love it!

my mom bought me the collection

kaini, is this comic a one off?

for real

Kaini, you did it.

Calvin and Hobbes was my favorite comic as a kid, and I clearly remember the day it was announced that the strip was ending, even though it was ages ago (I was in the 4th grade...was it 1996?) I used to read my dad's collections over and over - the Tenth Anniversary edition with Watterson's commentary especially.

I'm married, have a full-time job, essentially I am now a twenty-something, college educated "grown up." Having kids isn't too far off, few years maybe, and I've been preoccupied with the idea of what their childhood will be like, and the concern of making sure they were as happy and optimistic as I was when I was a kid. Despite all the uncertainty and insanity in this world, I'm still hopeful. This really moved me, it's absolutely perfect. Thanks for sharing.

^want

I can't complain though. When I was in high school, my mom gave the Far Side Collection for Christmas. My brother actually read the whole thing before I did, he was out of school for a couple weeks because of mononucleosis.

If anyone here is a serious fan I've got a good collection from when I was a bit younger, I can put on amazon or work something out on here

As for why someone would name their daughter Bacon? Well, my niece acquired the nickname Bacon over the years, and Francis Bacon was another old philosopher along with Calvin and Hobbes, so it seemed like a good name – plus, if anyone would name his daughter Bacon, it would be Calvin.

thanks for posting, wonderful

seems to be a one-off. - http://www.pantsareoverrated.com/

^ thanks for posting that direct quote. shame it's a one-off...

Good to see Calvin getting a blowjob from the misses. After all these years little Calvin has finally grown up!

Pity the artstyle isn't of the same quality. Kinda takes away from it for me.

lol he's not getting head from the missus - they're crashed out.

I have to say - when I saw the title I was expecting Hobbes and Francis Bacon - but this is awesome!

Nicely done Kaini!

:sup:
