Nostalgic Calvin and Hobbes Fan Art

By on April 23, 2013

Calvin & Hobbes has always been one of my favorite cartoon strips. I fondly remember snatching the funnies out of the Sunday newspaper (you know, back when newspapers were a big deal) and carefully reading strips in a particular order. Peanuts was a light appetizer, Far Side was my dinner salad and that huge, full color Calvin & Hobbes strip was my delicious main course. While the Internet was still kicking off, I was digesting those thin paperback, 100-page releases of a year or two of Calvin & Hobbes strips.

When I revisited the comics as an adult about 15 years later, I started to pick up on the clever elements of philosophy and history that are wrapped into the comic strips. it makes me think Pixar stole their entire gameplan to make movies for both adults and kids directly from Bill Watterson.

Anyway, if you are interested in discovering or rediscovering Calvin & Hobbes, I highly recommend the Calvin & Hobbes Tumblr. For those familiar with the series, check out this collection of Calvin & Hobbes fan art created by a  large collection of different artists:

    That a funny looking white kid and his imagination could connect with the perspective of a funny looking black kid and his imagination. Calvin just spoke the truth about life!

    I read C&H when I was younger and worried that I might someday have a child like Calvin. Now I re-read C&H daily and, looking back on my kids, I think I did anyway.

    I learned how a certain outlook coupled with creativity and unconcious, incautious optimism can bring joy into so much of life, both the good parts and the bad. That and the value of a good cardboard box.

  35. James Weyman

    April 23, 2013 at 4:28 pm

    In reading Calvin & Hobbes, during in my teenage years, I learned that if I could go back in time and observe my young self, I would be just like Calvin. I say this because I’m always told that I’m a kid in an adult’s body. So I don’t want to grow up. What the big deal?

  36. Sarah H

  42. JLee

  84. Tyler

  85. Dave

    April 23, 2013 at 1:06 pm

    Calvin & Hobbes taught me to learn how to aim and throw straight so that if I ever saved a snowball from winter until the following summer, this time, I can hit Suzy Derkins right in the kisser!

  86. Jeremy

    I learned that Snowmen are out to get me… but, on a real note, I learned that being a kid is a magical time where your imagination can be your best friend, and how we need to think like a kid once in a while to recapture that magic. Also, the fuddy-duddy in me says that all the digital stimuli that kids get nowadays rob them of the joys so eloquently captured in Calvin & Hobbes.

  94. Peter Schott

    April 23, 2013 at 12:36 pm

    Calvin and Hobbes taught me that sometimes we need to make our own adventures happen.

  105. james

    April 23, 2013 at 12:06 pm

    What Calvin and Hobbes taught me growing up is that being a bit weird is totally okay, even cool if you have the right friends. So forget what everyone else thinks, just you and your best friend the tiger.

  106. Tin

  107. Erik J

    I learned that playing outside was wayyyy better than anything else a kid could do.

  108. Scott McCue

    April 23, 2013 at 11:57 am

    I learned that there is little that is more powerful than imagination, and that some of the best friends you can have as a kid don’t have to be “real.”

  109. Andrew Cho

    April 23, 2013 at 11:53 am

    Calvin has taught me to question everything in life in an intelligent and sensible manner. That way everyone can go outside and play some calvinball!

    Imagination is a wonderful thing and sometimes should be toned down or kept to oneself… especially when it comes to snowman art.

    April 23, 2013 at 11:23 am

    Back in the day when I was a latchkey kid and spent a lot of days with my brother home alone, Calvin and Hobbes was like a doorway out to the open world from the safety of my home sort of filling in the role my parents should’ve filled teaching us about the poignant strength of a colorful imagination and philosphy. And being of Asian descent stressing getting good grades but was consoled by calvin that even if I was lacking in studies there was more than that, that my value lied in more than that and to enjoy myself despite not always being the best in school. So Calvin and Hobbes brings such a sense of fond nostalgia and gratitude when I read it again

    I learned ENGLISH! Yes…Calvin & Hobbes was a must read for me as a 9 year old immigrant to learn about the American culture (nursery rhymes were another set of fun reads that fulfilled the same intent).

    Calvin and Hobbes have represented to me the purity and inocense of childhood. As Adult I have acknowledge this and look foward on reading it with my children.

    They should also make a movie or a TV series about Calvin and Hobbes.(If they hav’nt done so.) It would be way better than the majority of junk cartoons that are out there.
