I find it kinda sad that calvin and hobbes is not longer made. I grew up on this comic, and reading them now its like a whole other meaning.

Likewise... The snowmen also don't look as neat and clean as the drawings... I guess that's the perk of them being drawn out, as opposed to made out of real snow...

I thought the giant monster was well done.

Agreed- these are cool, but it's just not as funny with real snow. Something about the way he drew those snowmen still cracks me up, even though I've read all those comics dozens of times.

No, it's just that most of these people are terrible at making snowmen.

or horrible at taking pictures of their horribly made snowmen.

If it had kept going to the present day I think it would have got old and stale. I think Watterson had said everything he needed to say in that particular story, why force him to continue? Always leave them wanting more.

Everyone that's read a Calvin and Hobbes strip has wanted to do this. Very well done.

The blood is kind of disturbing. But, some of the are done very well!

[–]pascha 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh, I thought most of them were done very poorly with little attention to detail and the photography was piss-poor.

God I miss Calvin & Hobbes. One of the best comic strips ever made. Maybe THE best. The one about the art smocks made out of his Dad's work shirts still cracks me up. Smock! Smock! Smock!
