The pair are named after John Calvin, a 16th-century French Reformation theologian, and Thomas Hobbes, a 17th-century English political philosopher. It fits his daughter is named after Francis Bacon, an Enlightenment philosopher.

[–]signorafosca 4 points5 points ago

I really like this comic. Some people might call it sacrilege, but it's so well done. It's simple and to the point, and I think it captures the spirit of Calvin & Hobbes perfectly. The Donald Trump reference is slightly suspect though, I would think Calvin's daughter would have a better imagination.

[–]lolmonger 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I dunno - I liked that adults only saw Hobbes one way and Calvin saw Hobbes his way.

Something about Calvin being eternally a child (and Suzy being brought in on it) seems strange and contrived.

[–]iliketodoodle 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

For some reason, I just assumed that, in the last panel, Calvin and Susie weren't actually seeing Hobbes as living. I feel like they were watching Bacon and Hobbes from the same perspective that Calvin's parents used to watch him and Hobbes, but the artist just chose to depict Hobbes as living for whatever reason.

[–]SometimesY 9 points10 points ago

Well, shit. Disregard my post then.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The original made me tear up only on the second read, when I realized that Hobbes was still a stuffed animal while Calvin was carrying him.

[–]kensomniac 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

that got me too.. gah, it's so strange seeing characters like Calvin and Hobbes as the years go by.. I feel like I grew up with them, and they were such life like characters.. you knew Hobbes was imaginary, but the way he'd act hurt, or mad, or thoughtful.. along with those playful pounces, he seemed so real.. and seeing him with Bacon while Calvin was watching out the window .. gah.. seriously made me tear up.

I don't know if it was because Calvin grew up, or because I did, too.

The NPR article complains about the Donald Trump reference, but when I first read the strip, I assumed it was a Bloom County reference and got really excited.

[–]cerealjynx 1 point2 points ago

Part of me loves this, part of me hates it. I mean, c'mon, Calvin marries Susie and has a kid and names it Bacon? Too cute. Really, too cute. I picture grown up Calvin being a vagabond, a hobo train hopper, still carrying Hobbes around on adventures, long after estranging himself from his parents in his teens.

Or, you know, there's also always this theory.

Does anyone know where I can find these comics to read. I've never really read a lot of them at all but they're so cute and I wanna start.

I will now refer to my loved ones as "bacon"

The only issue I have with this is that 1) Hobbes looks...off in the last frame and 2) I have a hard time believing that Calvin would name his daughter - or that Susie would allow him to name their daughter - Bacon. I realize this offends the narwhals, my apologies.

Just my $0.02.

Yeah, I still can't get behind that. Why not Francine? Bacon? Really?

This comic comes up every so often on reddit and I appreciate it every time.

Okay. So I've got a beef with these comics. Bacon? Why the fuck Bacon? We've got Calvin for John Calvin, I presume? And Hobbes for Thomas Hobbes?

But fucking Bacon? Sir Francis Bacon was, indeed, a very important man... But the name 'Calvin' is a regular name, 'Hobbes' is a great name for a cat... Why not Randy for Ayn Rand, or Ricardo for David Ricardo, or William for Nassau William...

Bacon just totally distracts me from the merit of the comic. And now I'm hungry.

As someone said above, I just assume she's named Francis and Bacon is her nickname.

After Francis Bacon. It's a continuation of the philosopher naming theme.

The couple in Baby Blues named their son Ham. Why not Bacon?

I really don't like this.

Calvin and Hobbes ended because the author could see that it should end. The author of this piece decided he knew what the Mr. Watterson would write in this situation(I happen to disagree) and then penned it.

Calvin and Hobbes is such a great comic because the author knew when to end it. That is why no one thinks The Simpsons or Family Guy is good.

This author is doing a disservice to Mr. Watterson, the fans of Calvin and Hobbes and Calvin and Hobbes themselves by making this piece.

Downvoted.

PFFFFFT. IT'S FAN FICTION. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BELIEVE LITTLE CALVIN GREW UP INTO THIS, YOUR MEMORY HAS NOT BEEN RAPED.

LIMITED STORY ARCS ARE GREAT. SO IS REVISITING CLASSICS.
