My friend linked me to it and I literally just sat there until I realized I should probably give a reaction...so I had my roommate reach over and type it for me, because I was still staring at my screen in shock.

Once the archive is open, remind me to send you a link to an epically tragic C&H fic.

Just to finish crushing your soul.

lol. Sorry. I can't help but love it. I guess part of it may be because Calvin and Hobbes really doesn't mean anything to me.

Probably a good thing.

I will admit, even though I know next to nothing about Calvin and Hobbes, the macro is adorable and so very sweet. :)

[jade-sabre-301.livejournal.com]

IT WAS MY REACTION TOO SO THAT'S OKAY

I literally just sat here while Lovie typed the things I said very slowly because my hands refused to move because I was too busy slowly falling apart.

WTH. I DON'T GET IT. EXPLAIN.

Okay you know the original comic Calvin and Hobbes? Well, if you don't, it's a newspaper comic that ran for something like ten years, chronicling the adventures of a troublemaking six-year-old named Calvin and his tiger, Hobbes. It was, and I am not exaggerating, one of the best comics ever written. It had so much heart and imagination and the art was so wonderful and Calvin was such a brat and Hobbes was so wise and UGH. I mean, I own multiple copies of the book collections because my brother and I destroyed the originals from frequent rereads.

Now, this image--not painted by the original artist, Bill Watterson--features Calvin in his trademark red striped shirt and black pants in the background as an adult, while Hobbes goes off with what's presumably Calvin's future daughter.

GUH I CAN'T EVEN LOOK AT IT but it's like, Calvin, the perennial six-year-old, has actually grown up and become an adult and PROCREATED, and Hobbes is looking back almost confusedly because he hasn't changed at all, but there's this new six-year-old GIRL, and Calvin's looking on all just-a-little-sadly and

UGH

AND THE GIRL LOOKS A BIT LIKE SUSY that part is just for fun I think.

I

a little sadly, but hopeful too, I think

oh God

*bawlz*

[emerald-happy.livejournal.com]

OH

I know of that comic but I have not read much of it.

Thank you!

[raptor1313.livejournal.com]

Amen.

It's been ages and ages since I've read Calvin and Hobbes, I think I have the entire collection printed in papers in the larger (and aptly-named) treasuries. I remember mourning when the author discontinued writing them.

Then again, I think that it's a lesson in and of itself; principles are sometimes better than money. Compromise is a lesson, but sometimes? Don't compromise. And, then, there's all the lessons and thoughts in there as well.
