Hobbes and BACON (more strips in comments)

Seriously, this is dangerous territory. If you mess this up we will be quite displeased. That said, so far this is excellent. It still has that sweet sense of innocence that Calvin and Hobbes managed to bring out. I also like how Calvin is now an adult, dealing with adult issues. This is something I feel like a lot of us who grew up reading Calvin and Hobbes can identify with. We are facing debts, jobs, taxes, and other responsibilities, but we really do want to explore the torrential guildovdn galaxy.

It would be wise to introduce some antagonists. Susie and Calvin have to be adults, and as much as we love them, there will be some tension between them and Bacon. Also things like school and work, as well as a variety of imaginary foes, as well as Hobbes can make things more interesting. You can slip in subtle reminders of the original, and touch on similar themes, but it is no good to rely on it. Add new material and value, make it worthwhile. I don't need a new strip to tell me the old one was great, I can still go back and read the old one. But I would love a well done modern version of it.

Just realized that Mr. Bun was Susie's stuffed animal, meaning Calvin and Susie got married. Just "awww'd" out loud!

So where are these bacon strips I've heard so much about?

JarekC · 7 months

I love this, it makes me so happy.

That being said, I want to know what made Calvin and Susie think it would be a good idea to name their daughter "Bacon"...

Don't get me wrong, I love bacon, but... why?

As someone currently trying to piece together a college thesis based on Calvin and Hobbes, thank you. Every so often I need a little reminder. =]

Sweet copyright infringement. Bill Watterson would hate this.

i am going to voice my unpopular opinion here. i don't particularly like these comics, as much as i love calvin and hobbes.

the ever-persistent magic of childhood imagination that makes calvin & hobbes what it is, is lacking in these. in part 2, bacon moans about her parents being weird when they're doing exactly the sort of thing that made us love calvin in the first place. she and hobbes go outside, and she just wants to play baseball. the way i see it, these comics are about a boring kid who happens to have a dad we all love -- and therefore we see her as awesome too.

and not to mention, as someone else mentioned here, this is copyright infringement that bill watterson would hate.

This actually brings tears to my eyes, I grew up reading Calvin and Hobbes religiously, always wondering where they would end up after I finished with them. Just reading those puts a happy feeling in my heart.

I'm afraid the internet has ruined me. I thought the comic was going to go differently when Hobbes said that he prefers "tuna fish."

MattyGroch · 7 months

Correct me if I'm wrong but the last time I saw these linked on Reddit, there was nothing but mass hate for them. Now it seems like the exact opposite....

i'd buy these comics if hey made more and came out with a book. i think it would be a good way for younger people to get into calvin and hobbes as well as something new for older fans.

Who's "More" and when does he strip?

Usernameisunoriginal · 7 months

Does anyone else remember a random strip where Calvin is playing with tinker toys (being a vengeful god, of course!) and his mom says that she bets he grows up to be an architect? To me it looks like he did indeed, anyone else? Makes me so happy.
