Calvin and Hobbes - As Interpreted By Various Artists Although many of the commenters on the previous post saw any new or different versions of the characters as sacrilegious — in part because of creator Bill Watterson’s fierce resistance to merchandising — I would suggest that while these are certainly not works of art on the same scale as the original comic, they are mostly heartfelt tributes from a generation of artists that grew up loving “Calvin and Hobbes,” and want to express either the spirit of the comic or their affection for it in their own way.  (Pictured: Calvin and Hobbes by Nina Matsumoto, a.k.a. “Space Coyote”)

TV Show

Calvin : Can I be excused? There's a TV show I want to see.
Calvin's Mom : We're still eating dinner, Calvin.
Calvin: I'm through. This stuff tastes awful. I want to go watch television.
Calvin's Mom: It's impolite to leave the table in the middle of a meal.
Calvin: So what am I supposed to do? Just sit here and watch you guys CHEW?! I'll miss my show!
Calvin's Mom: Your TV show isn't as important as spending some time together as a family.
Calvin: We'll compromise. I'll go watch a sitcom family.
Calvin's Dad: In a minute you're going to discover the difference between those and real life.
(Later. Calvin is still sitting at the table with his parents.)
Calvin: My TV show is starting. I'm missing my show!

"Blame."

Calvin: When I grow up, I'm not going to read the newspaper and I'm not going to follow complex issues and I'm not going to vote. That way I can complain when the government doesn't represent me. Then, when everything goes down the tubes, I can say the system doesn't work and justify my further lack of participation.
Hobbes: An ingeniously self-fulfilling plan.
Calvin: It's a lot more fun to blame things than to fix them.

Mom and Dad drive me crazy. They don’t understand me and I don’t understand them. It’s hopeless! I’m related to people I don’t relate to.

"18"

Hobbes: Look, it says you have to be eighteen to buy cigarettes.
Calvin: EIGHTEEN?!? By then I'll know better!
