The sad thing is, at some point there is going to be a Calvin & Hobbes movie.

Not as long as Bill Watterson is alive.
I love this guys videos.

I honestly cannot think of a studio right now that could pull off even a halfway decent tribute to the series. Maybe, [i]maybe[/i] the people who did secret of kells or something, but otherwise no. Not even pixar could properly encapsulate it anymore, if they ever could.
Not that Bill Watterson will ever allow it while he lives, so its certainly not something worth worrying about.
I was just thinking we were due a new kaptainkristian video, and what a great video too. Calvin and Hobbes is the best
This guy's been pumping out consistently good videos.
It's always interesting and thought provoking.
Calvin and hobbes gave me the best advice in my life

Wow. I never thought of this before, but C&H would make for some wonderful adult swim bump material.
This guys videos are top tier and Im so pumped he used the song he did in the beginning, Football head is such a chill track and Im glad Flamingosis is getting some exposure.

Add the logo to the very end, you pretty much have a good product.
This guy is like The Nerdwriter except not pretentious
god what a great video. like many other people, calvin and hobbes had and continues to have a direct influence on who i am. reading the strips when i was a kid and seeing spaceman spiff was a large contribution to what drove me to become a pilot. now here i am getting paid to do something i love.
i wish there was a way to tell bill watterson just how much his art impacted my life.
God I love his stuff
The quality of it is just mindblowing
If Bill Waterson dies, and Calvin and Hobbes gets a movie, and the trailer is anything other than absolutely amazing, the backlash to the new Ghostbusters movie will look like a fart in the wind, and they won't have faux-feminism to fall back on this time.

Ah hell I remeber going to my grandparents house and find the two Calvin and Hobbes collections they had. Both of them in books of course, but they were always fun to read, granted being a bit older I can understand the context of them now but they're still something that makes an impact. Weirdly nobody else I know at school every knew what C&H was, kinda depressing.

Also me.

Read this stuff as a kid and loved it. Bought the hardcover collection a couple months back and it was expensive but worth every penny. Thing weighs like 15 pounds to boot.
Also got The Far Side hardcover collection too, which is equally as good, expensive, and heavy.
His best one yet, Calvin and Hobbes had such a huge impact on me as a child and to this day continue to be favorites that i go back and re-read every few years.
While my brother bought Garfield comic volumes, I went and bought the Calvin and Hobbes collection.
I lost it recently and I can't find it.
I think Calvin and Hobbes helped shape me into the person that I am, and Garfield shaped my brother into the person he is.
I tend to look at things now with a more philosophical approach, rather than the run of the mill, slovenly, judgmental outlook I think Garfield gave my brother.
That's why I love Calvin and Hobbes.
And why I hate Garfield.
I still have all the original books. I didn't get into the comic until long after it was long out of newspapers, but I read the shit out of those books. When I finished one, I just went right on to the next. When I was at school, I'd always have one on me.
I miss the series, but I'm glad it didn't overstay its welcome. Watterson could've been [I]such[/I] a rich man if he had licensed it out to whoever, but he didn't. And I respect him so much for it.

I don't know how to phrase this in a non-rude manner but it seems like you're implying that you're better than your brother because you read a better comic than he did. Seems kind of arrogant.
My avatar obsession says it all. I own every single Calvin and Hobbes collection book, and I have a hand-made Hobbes plush.
And I'm just not sure that's the type of message Watterson wants you to take away from his craft
fuck my automerge

I'm not better than him.
If anything i'm worse than him.
He's just treated me badly that's all.
Calvin and Hobbes was fantastic, I still have a few of the books lying around. Some of my favourite strips were just the insane snowmen sculptures that Calvin built, made me wish I could make something like that.
Watterson is also awesome at his paintings, no joke
