This is tangential, but for those of you looking to fill the Calvin and Hobbes hole in your life, I highly recommend the illustrated weblog of French cartoonist Boulet. It's really amazing. (And it's pretty clear that C&H was a huge inspiration for him.)

- danielhunt 12y agoOff topic, but they are some of the best comics I have ever read. Upvote and a hat-tip for you, for linking to that site.
- whysonot 12y agoSame feeling here. Thanks OP. Really needed a new comic in my life.
- sogen 12y agowow, that Toyoda was awesome, thanks!
- sp332 12y agoThere's a daily newspaper comic called Frazz that has constant C&H references. The conceit is that Frazz is Calvin after he grew up and decided to work as a school janitor to be around kids. https://www.uclick.com/client/sea/fz/ https://www.uclick.com/client/sea/fz/
- zellyn 12y agoOh my. Must. stop. reading. Thank you!
- saganus 12y agoAh yes. This is very nice. Thanks! Edit: BTW, thanks for ruining my productivity for the whole day :)
- archagon 12y agoClick the "React" button on each comic for even more time wasting! :)
- Rudism 12y agoThere's also Hobbes and Bacon, a fan-drawn series that picks up with adult Calvin (now married to Susie) giving his old Hobbes toy to his daughter. Very well done and nostalgia-inducing. Part 1: http://www.pantsareoverrated.com/archive/2011/05/10/hobbes-and-bacon/ http://www.pantsareoverrated.com/archive/2011/05/10/hobbes-a...

- egypturnash 12y agoAnd to add to this tangent: my friend Dana Simpson does a strip for Universal called "Phoebe and her Unicorn", about a girl whose best friend is... well, the title kind of gives it away. When the strip launched, they sent her the gigantic collection of All The C&H; she's never quite decided if it was in celebration, or a threat that she had to live up to that standard. http://www.gocomics.com/phoebe-and-her-unicorn http://www.gocomics.com/phoebe-and-her-unicorn
- archagon 12y agoThanks, that's adorable! "I am not on fire."
- Arubis 12y agoIs that the same Dana Simpson that was once the author of Ozy & Millie? That was my longtime C&H holdover.
- egypturnash 12y agoYep! If you're around Seattle, she'll be sharing a booth with me at ECCC later this month.
