I wish they would make more Bacon and Hobbes comics

I got my first Calvin and Hobbes book when I was in the hospital literally on the verge of dieing from double lung pneumonia. A few weeks before I ended up in the hospital, I had went to my elementary school's book sale and saw it. Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat. Wanted that shit so bad. My parents refused to buy it for me, because they were cheap as fuck and didn't think I should be reading comics. It was all multiplication tables and writing essays every night, (I was in fourth grade at the time.) When I finally was awake long enough (I was sleeping around 23 hours a day for a good half a month) to be able to be aware that they were visiting, they brought the book with them. I spent my entire hospital visit reading that book and watching the Three Stooges. It was one of the scariest times in my life, but Calvin & Hobbes got me through it. I got out the day before Christmas, man was that a bitchin Christmas gift.

Seeing Calvin take Hobbes out of the closet makes me sad. Just the fact that he was in the closet in the first place.

I like pretty much everything about this except one thing: The Donald Trump reference. It totally goes against Bill Watterson's style in Calvin and Hobbes. It dates the comic, and while being political isn't off-limits, talking about specific politicians or businessmen absolutely is. Especially in a negative way.

Comics #2-4 are flawless though!

I like to think he ended up marrying susie (or whoever that girl in his class was).

Sorry if it's being implied/said outright and I'm just a fool.

I wish they wouldn't make more Bacon and Hobbes comics.

Mr. Watterson ended his comic strip for a reason. The author of this badly made knockoff should respect that decision.

I wonder what Bill Waterson would think of these. I'd like to think he'd be proud.

I kind of loathe this webcomic trying to hijack Calvin and Hobbes instead of coming up with original content. It really pales in comparison to the original and adds nothing compelling. Bring on the downvotes!

I like them too, but I can't get past the fact that her name is Bacon. It sounds so stupid.

I wish, actually, that people would stop posting this incredibly horrid pale imitation of a classic work. This actively pisses me off.

This is a repost, so I'm going to repost what I said last time:

I'll be honest, I don't. Calvin and Hobbes is one of the few things I consider unimpeachably great, but I accept that that door is closed now, and whenever I see something else added to its universe I cringe a little, because it can only decrease the quality as a whole.

I don't mean to be snooty, but I don't like other people interpreting for me how that world ends up. The strip ends with them commenting on how the world is like a sheet of paper for them to draw on, and it finishes in such a way that's almost staggering in its open-endedness. To me, these Hobbes and Bacon strips are the authors taking those infinite possibilities and narrowing it down to what I consider an ultimately mundane answer to the question of what happens next, just for the sake of continuing the story.

To me, Calvin and Hobbes is perfect, and I'm not willing to keep consuming more and more of that world until it isn't anymore.

I never read Calvin And Hobbes growing up. Somehow never appealed to me. It actually appeals to me more now as an adult. And seeing it re-imagined always makes me wanna cry. I guess it's the Brave Little Toaster effect (fuck Toy Story, BLT came first. . . mmm. . . BLT).

Man im really sorry to say this, but i really hate these comics. Its so cliche, and its sappy beyond belief. I mean come on. Married Susie Derkins? cause that was the joke all along right?? they had some sort of prepubescent sexual tension? HAHAHA... Now his daughter needs like an imaginary friend? cause like... the spirit of childhood maintains? Awww so adorable. Also Calvin has some of his childhood grossness and impishness still and he found his perfect soul mate! Ay thats just great!

Does anyone connect Calvin and his family in this to Geoff from Rooster Teeth and his family? IDK, but it made me smile. ^ _ ^

Every time someone makes a Calvin and Hobbes fan-anything, it's going to be polarizing. I personally like this much better than the Calvin peeing on stuff window stickers.

When I was a kid, my brother told me Hobbes wasn't alive, but a figment of Calvin's imagination...

I still get sad about it. :(

I have never been a big fan of Calvin and Hobbes. I think there is little humor to be found in making light of a child with a severe mental disorder. Hallucinations require medications as well as therapy to cure. To allow a child to carry on pretending stuffed animals are sentient self aware species is deplorable.

Bill Watterson is a real cunt pounder for making profit off a cartoon depiction of childhood mental disease.
