On Sunday, December 31st 1995, the last Calvin and Hobbes comic strip was published. For ten years readers had laughed and thrilled at the antics of Calvin and his wild imagination. It has gone on to be regarded as among the greatest comic series of all time.
Here is that last cartoon, which ran thirty years ago today. The very greatest finale of anything, ever…

Unfortunately it’s something fan-made and… eeeeeaaaaaAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH SOMEBODY PLEASE MAKE THIS MOVIE MAKE IT REAL SERIOUSLY MAKE IT REAL REAL REAL!!!
Bill Watterson should let us chip into a Kickstarter and get this produced! Make $50 million the goal and it will reach it in less than a day…
I’m trying to determine who came up with this ‘cuz it deserves proper attribution.
But this is way too good not to share in the meantime. I found this on Facebook on the Doctor Who and the Tardis by Craig Hurle page…
It’s definitely embiggenable so click and save away! No doubt to become wallpaper for your desktop or your iPad 🙂
Here’s the pic’s link on Facebook. I like what one person commented: “Brings new meaning to the phrase ‘Madman with a Box!'”...
Props to GeekTyrant for noting that years before Christopher Nolan’s cinematic foray into dream country with Inception, that Bill Waterson was already “kick”-ing around the idea in Calvin and Hobbes 🙂
Y’know, this would explain some things about Calvin, when you think about it…...
It’s been fifteen years since Calvin and Hobbes took their sleigh ride off the comics pages and into cartooning history. They haven’t been seen since and now in an extremely rare interview, Calvin and Hobbes creator Bill Watterson looks back on it all and reflects on the strip’s enduring charm… as well as his thoughts about ending the cartoon’s run at the height of its popularity.
I’m not gonna hit the “publish” button on this post without saying that in my opinion, Calvin and Hobbes is the all-time greatest comic strip ever. Hard to pin down a favorite “arc” but the one about the snow goons stands out in my mind as classic Calvin 🙂...
