Also, that depressing-as-hell C&H strip didn't need the reference to pills. It could have just been a statement about growing up, which I think would be much more relevant to the comic.

It works fine both ways, but the reference to pills is more relevant to today's society. I've seen lots of little kids like Calvin that got fed ADD meds (read: prescription speed) and changed from being really active, curious, fun-loving kids, to being, well, boring. ADD medication is not the answer to ADD, and there are plenty of non-medicinal methods to controlling it.

Dude, that was just 3 years ago. Pokemon was lame.

Did you get constantly picked on by jocks in high school?

the same reason 30 year-old men splooge over FF7. i'm not defending the picture, it was meant to be a joke to end all jokes among my friends. at the same time, though, i must defend its roots: pokemon is a fun game.

LOL~

Most of those 30 year-old men are still virgins.

What was the real ending?

Calvin makes Hobbes part of a ritual killing. Meanwhile, does Calvin's dad make it to work on time to battle the evil Megatron? Find out on the next episode of 7th Heaven.

:lol :lol it's so me. did no one else take purposely-embarassing senior pictures?
 
Took me forever to look at this guys senior picture to figure out wtf'ing hell everyone was going "no way" over, then he mentioned pikachu in that post and I looked again and saw his shirt and the doll.

Just that you were able to wear that in highschool and not get pummeled to me seems like you did A-OK or live in a great neighborhood filled with great people. Never would have worked in inner city Chicago however.

I got my working Colecovision stored away. Plus the kid is getting the complete Calvin & Hobbes collection. Should be required reading for all children.

Can we just turn this into a C&H Appreciation thread now? Seriously considering getting this now thanks to this thread.

I definitely want that as well. That fake last strip can gtfo as well, completely against the entire feel of the strip.

totally agreed. the actual ending is so much better than any fan-made.
 
I never really got into Calvin & Hobbes as a child, but these panels are still pretty easy to understand. And it almost puts a tear in my eye. :(
 
I assume that fan edit was meant to comment on some trends in our society. As some in here can attest, that fan strip is very unsettling.
 
I wholeheartedly approve of the creation of a Calvin and Hobbes appreciation thread.

And fan-edits, however honest or well intentioned they may be, almost always end up being crap in comparison to the things Watterson was able to do.

Oh, you gotta get it. It's so fucking good, man. One of my only possessions that would truly make me sad if something happened to it.
 
I third a voting on turning the thread into a C&H appreciation thread, and the utter banishment of the shitty fan edit.

The strip really did end in the perfect way possible.
