Marg; I am wondering if there is a bit of double entendre in your comment, for we do remember that Hobbes is a bit sweet on Suzie.
wndrwrthg; I knew there was something familiar about you, bro…..LOL
Optimystic; welcome to our little niche of reality, your observations are most astute.
If I recall rightly, Bill Watterson ceased doing Calvin & Hobbes (15 years ago?) as a final protest against his syndicate bosses insistance that he “merchandise” the characters, i.e., allow them to be plastered on all kinds of marketable stuff….like tv commercials, t-shirts, cups, toys, etc. Bill coveted his characters too much to prostitute them that way and so he was forced to put a stop the legal machines that were hounding him by stopping any further contracted production on Calvin & Hobbs altogether.
I guess we can blame ‘greed’ for Calvin’s untimely demise.
Does he not hold the license to these characters? If not they would have been all over everything anyway. If he does have the licenses wouldn’t he be able to still create them while publishing them another place? Just wonderin’
Marg; I am wondering if there is a bit of double entendre in your comment, for we do remember that Hobbes is a bit sweet on Suzie.
No, none at all. Calvin doesn’t want Hobbes to waste his strength attacking Susie. As someone else said, Hobbes has a little crush on Susie, and would never harm a hair on her head.
Golly Vixen I’m going to have to see that so I can rightly feel the poisonous sting of the barb I think you hurled at me. LOL ;-)
It’s true. I read that piece, in a C&H book, I believe, where Bill was under pressure to “PEANUTS” his stuff all over the place and that he wouldn’t go for it. With this internet thing going gangbusters I believe Gocomics would be a good place For Mr. Watterson to revive Calvin and Hobbes. Berkeley brought back OPUS and even though it only lasted five years, it was a good five years. McEldowney’s web only strip, Pibgorn, is working real good here. So how about it Bill W.?
i would hav loved owning a merchandise thats from C&H.. esp. a stuffed tiger like hobbes! and then see if he does turn real as soon as no one else is in sight! ;)
@ Ldywldkat: His insistence may have been great from an artistic standpoint, but people that want C&H merchandise generally find a way to get it, sadly…
Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes has been a worldwide favorite since its introduction in 1985. The strip follows the richly imaginative adventures of Calvin and his trusty tiger, Hobbes. Whether a poignant look at serious family issues or a round of time-travel (with the aid of a well-labeled cardboard box), Calvin and Hobbes will astound and delight you.

Well, we all know that Calvin likes to make everyone’s day a little more surreal … like the time he answered a ringing phone and ordered a pizza.

Susie says:”Talking with you is sort of the conversational equivalent of an out-of-body experience.”
Susie hunny, it’s like that with all boys…you get used to it eventually.

Since you’ll be out of body Vixen, do you mind if I’m in it ? (snerk)

No need to worry Calvin, Hobbes would never attack a pretty girl like Susie…. unless it was a smooch attack!!!

This could still work out. Moe could end up laughing too hard to hit him.
Ldywldkat said, 11 months ago
Huh? Susie called Hobbes a “stuffed tiger”. How insulting!!!

”Talking with you is sort of the conversational equivalent of an out-of-body experience.”
I’m not sure exactly what that line is supposed to MEAN, but it’s still funny. :-)

Looks like Hobbes is staying out of this

“Stuffed tiger”??? There’s no respect in this world, after that insult Hobbes should “warm up” for the afternoon…

Long-time lurker, first-time poster :D
@ Doctortoon you are so right…
@ Joemerl she means that speaking to Calvin is very surreal.
And Hobbes won’t attack Susie, he thinks she’s cute :) (Mr. Bun, on the other hand…)

Yes, I respect Bill for his principles. If only there were some way to have new C&Hs with those principles against greed and artistic prostitution.
