Calvin and Hobbes and their good future.

[GrimTuesday]

I hate you guys... I'm tearing up right now, and they're not manly tears either.

I love Calvin and Hobbes. I have a bunch of the collections and I read at leat five or six pages a day. they're perfect for reading while taking a shit.

 

[Yoshemo]

I get all mist eyed every time I see this:

Spoiler: Manly tears...

You better post the second part to that, it showed up in different thread here not to long ago.

I love the comic and the OP's post was just beautiful. Thank you.

Its gonna be alright ;u;

 

[Comma-Kazie]

I'm not going to lie, that left me speechless.

 

[AugustFall]

I love calvin and hobbes, actually am tearing up after reading the fan-fic and seeing OP's picture.

Awesome stuff.

 

[Sonic Doctor]

I can't really imagine much of a 'good future', if I look at it objectively.
What if Calvin finally gets diagnosed with a severe hallucinogenic mental disorder?
That seems the most likely scenario, going by his trips into imagination land.
I mean, sure, we've all had our imaginations run wild when we were young, but Calvin is on an entirely different scale.
He'd realize just how deluded and simply fake his entire childhood has been.
I think he'd go into a severe depression and eventually resort to drugs to make reality go away to regain his childhood ignorance and bliss.
Or maybe he's too far gone to even be conscious of his immediate surrounding that doesn't comply with his deranged mind by that point.

Wow...just...wow...

That's something very disturbing.

If you think that's disturbing, you should see Robot Chicken's take on it. Humorous, but disturbing.

Oh calvin and hobbes, you are so awesome.

That picture is really great. It really touched me inside when i saw that.

I had a stuffed animal that I cherished like calvin did hobbes, so thanks to this Im gonna hang on to it for my kid someday.

 

[F-I-D-O]

Love that strip, love the characters.
Still read the few collections that I have at my house.
This thread just re-sparked my interest in good ol' C n' H.
(And I'm totally not crying right now.)

I sense a lie...
I'm not crying, I'm sniffling due to allergies...really....

I get all mist eyed every time I see this:

Spoiler: Manly tears...

Its gonna be alright ;u;

thank you for finishing that.
*Goes to dig up stuffed animal and C&H books.
guess I know what I'm doing for the rest of tonight.
BTW, loved OP. One of the best motivational pics I've seen in a long time.

 

[blankedboy]

I can see why everyone is crying, but... really?

It's not that moving...

 

[Stilt-Man]

Thanks, OP. If I wasn't already having a good day, this picture would have made my day. As it is, it's an pleasantly-unexpected ending to a great day. I don't know who did it, but I don't think anyone apart from Watterson could have done a better job. It's just perfect.

I want a show of hands - How many of you went to find your old stuffed animals after finding this thread?

*hugs stuffed dragon*

I did. Twenty minutes went by and all I did was sit in the middle of my room wile I held my old stuffed animal.
*Sigh* I hate growing up.

OT: I loved Calving and Hobbes. I used to spend hours and hours just sitting and reading, laughing and crying. And as I got older, I still enjoyed them, even more than before. Hell, I sort of had a better understanding of them as I got older.

And something that was always on my mind: I saw Hobbes as not only a part of Calvin's imagination but also an opposing opinion in conscience. Every thought Calvin has Hobbes would sometimes have a different one, which caused Calvin's opinion to change for better or for worse. This had always fascinated me, because even if Calvin might be a wild kid, he'd become a more open minded person because of Hobbes.

Maybe I'm over thinking it, maybe I'm trying to make myself feel smarter for thinking it, or maybe I'm completely wrong, but it's something to take into consideration.

F UUUUUUUUU, now my stack of calvin and hobbes books is looking at me and i can't pull my stare away.

 

[Imperioratorex Caprae]

I miss Calvin and Hobbes, but Bill Watterson did it right and ended on a high note rather than drag it out forever Peanuts-style and kill the magic.
I will always and forever cherish the C&H memories, and fondly remember my own stuffed tiger.

YES! Oh thank God, yes! That first part was just soul-crushingly depressing; but that, that just made everything better.

This whole thread is just great. All this thinking about Calvin and Hobbes is making me all nostalgic. It's also giving me a whole new look on the comic. It used to be just funny adventures of a boy and a tiger and now... now its so much more to me. Making the harden pessimist in me smile a little. Think I'll make sure to keep C&H around with me just to keep the child alive in me...

*Wipes eyes* No, no I'm not crying. I don't cry. I'm just tearing up cus its late. I don't *sniff* cry.

 

[Raziel_Likes_Souls]

Well, the only comic I remember for not making stupid lasagna jokes, actually not being pointless, in the vein the Peanuts are, is Calvin and Hobbes. Thanks for bringing back one of the first slice of life things I ever saw back into my brain, I guess.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

Actually, this was the final Calvin and Hobbes strip:

I am not sure if I should cry for the tragic irony of that strip or out of happiness for how well it ends the series.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

If I had any idea how to post up the Citizen Kane clapping animation here, I would for this.

 

[RadioActiveChimp]

My eyes are literally watering right now.

Holy crap, I am sucha softy.

I'm NOT a softy and I'm losing it right now. Crap...if I don't go watch something funny I'll never be able to go to sleep.

 

[Samus Aaron]

Sigh... Calvin and Hobbes. This thread is making me so happy. There are so many people who all can relate to the same thing.

Personally I don't like these "future Calvin" things. In my mind, Calvin never grew up.

 

[Burningsok]

Let me start by saying I don't usually read or write fanfiction. I was directed to this [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2048837/1/Reminiscence] story by a friend of mine who knows how much I love Calvin and Hobbes. It's kind of sappy, yeah, but really, I think it's a great "goodbye" piece to the series, and to me, it's probably always going to be what really happened. The picture in the OP reminded me of it.

............*Goes to your shoulder and starts crying into it*

I think I'm gonna cry *starts to bawl* words can't describe how amazing this makes me feel. :' D
Thank you for that
