(Aside from that secret guest artist week he did on Pearls Before Swine.) Anyway, there’s nothing like totally unanticipated news, right? So! Take a guess what it is. Go on. Guess. …OK, ready? quote:Calvin and Hobbes Creator Releasing a Dark and Adult Graphic Novel …yeah. How’d you do with your guesses? Another surprise is that this is from the man who wrote in the 10 Anniversary Book that “You can call it a “graphic novel” (…) but comic books are still incredibly stupid.” Nice that he had a change of heart, I suppose, but I guess he’s still too appreciative of the old-fashioned ways to embrace the creative potential of digital comics and the “metaverse.” But…Maybe just as well. The guy knows his talents. And understands visual mediums better than most in his field ever did.

People can like incredibly stupid things. Even when they know those things are incredibly stupid and won’t STFU about how incredibly stupid they are. This forum for example.

I mean, I still love Calvin and Hobbes, but $20 for about 35 pages (I count one sheet of paper as one page, not two) is too steep, IMO...I mean most graphic novels I buy are about $15, and have a minimum of 60 (or 120) pages.

Here's my pitch: Hobbes rips Calvin's throat out and turns into a stuffed tiger. That's it, three panels tops.

I remember back when I was like five the books where he would have authors comments under the strips made him seem like such a cool dude. Of course I thought the same about Scott Adams at the time.

And lo, William the Brave slew the goblin lord Fauchilini and lifted the veils of ignorance which the people had foolishly wrapped around their faces, and there was much rejoicing, and William's kids admitted they were wrong to stop talking to him and not letting him see his grandkids

I always thought it was insane to come out of retirement once you've cemented your legacy as one of the best to ever do the thing you do.

Learning that Calvin's Dad was a self-insert of Watterson did a loving number on my brain. I really thought he was some Vonnegut-looking crotchety ancient motherfucker. Not some twee yuppie.

Given the theory that the book is an allegory for the inevitable response to Bill's return, I hereby propose that the sole returning knight be referred to as Thom Flindler, the Billstalker. edit: jfc that article is fifteen years old next month BiggerJ fucked around with this message at 07:31 on Feb 16, 2023 |
