Joyrex Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I find this insulting to Watterson's original work. Some people can't accept the strip and characters are retired. Let it go already, FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuatxuk Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Considering I usually see the image of Calvin urinating on truck manufacturer logos, I find this absolutely refreshing and sincere to Watterson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root5 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Do you guys know the strip Cul de Sac? http://www.gocomics.com/culdesac/ I'm a huge Calvin and Hobbes fan, and Cul de Sac is the only comparable strip I know of. As with Calvin and Hobbes, you have to get to know it a bit before you really start to appreciate it, but when you do it's wonderful. The art is great. The characters are hilarious.

Ha that's what I was going to post. Bill Waterson himself stated similar thoughts on Cul de Sac. You definitely can't read one panel out of the funnies though, I never knew what the fuck was going on because the punchlines usually had to do with previous jokes/characters (Ernesto for example). That Alice is so adorable. Her friends and brother's characters are so well-developed. http://www.gocomics.com/culdesac/2007/09/10 I've read all of them on this site.

Braintree Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I used to love Calvin & Hobbes. He had such a good illustration style, and I also enjoy anything that has an emphasis on the importance of imagination. The Farside was my favorite as a kid, though. was born in '91, and grew up on calvin and hobbes, thank you very much It ended before you could read. Shut up.

chenGOD Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 was born in '91, and grew up on calvin and hobbes, thank you very much It ended before you could read. Shut up. to be fair - he didn't say he grew up with C+H, just that he grew up on C+H. Like my daughter - she's growing up on Star Wars (she likes episodes 3,4,5 the best), but not growing up with Star Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Considering I usually see the image of Calvin urinating on truck manufacturer logos, I find this absolutely refreshing and sincere to Watterson. I can see your point there. If I was Watterson, I'd carry around a window scraper with me and deface every vehicle I saw my work being illegally used on in that context. Don't get me wrong - I loved Calvin and Hobbes (read the entire run, IN THE NEWSPAPER, not on the fucking internet), but the hard-on people have with it and their undying desire for it to come back annoys me at times. Besides, it's not like Watterson was Gary Larson or anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering a google search yields a lot of "what if" fan art, much of it meh to crappy, I understand your reaction. I'm actually not sure about the idea of pantsareoverrated continuing the "new" tribute strip, hopefully he limits himself to a few more and moves on. The first was great by itself.

That's where I'm at. The first tribute thing was cute, shouldn't continue it at all though. Then I just get the feeling that pantsareoverrated is leeching off of the original comics success.

chenGOD Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 The "born in '91" negates the "on." No it doesn't - he was raised on Calvin and Hobbes when he grew up. i agree with the above two posts Yeah I kind of agree - hopefully this is just a mini-series of like 5 or something. That would be cool. But to stretch it out too long would be tedious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
