>Describe something badly, that means it sucks!!!
This really is the most common defense of brainlets who think they're smart.

kek calvin and hobbes is for people who think they're smart

>Not xkcd

Yea Forums is for people who think they're smart. I read Calvin and Hobbes as a kid just for the art. You don't have to take anything away from it to enjoy it. That's what makes it good.

calvin and hobbes is for people that like things that are made decently and well, and with talent. Does it blow your brain out of your anus everytime you read it? No. Is it accessible for both children and adults without insulting the intelligence of either? Yes.

To be fair

Well, Calvin and Hobbes ended about, 5 years before the average poster her was even born, so of course they wouldn't get it in retrospect.

its funny, because as a kid, this is how you imagined your parents made food that you hated.

I was born in 2000, and I grew up reading Calvin and Hobbes collection books. There are virtually no pop culture references, so being born after it ended isn't an excuse.

I love the comic where calvin pees while having a menacing grin on his face.

The most ironic turn of events for a guy who was so against merchandise is how that bootleg sticker was all over.

Beyond that specific instance, any fucking of alternate versions of yourself including clones, doubles, doppelgangers, and yous from alternate timelines/dimensions would, in fact, be gay.

Bill Watterson retired a millionaire and didn't sell out to do it.
He's the dream of all comic artists. And sadly, he's probably the last cartoonist to ever make it big from a newspaper comic.

Lads, what's it like having parents who love you enough to put up with your antics, and live comfortably middle-classish enough to have the energy to deal with your brattiness, and don't just beat you when they're tired of it or ignore you when you're being well-behaved enough for them to get some rest after their grueling wagecuckery?

You're just pissed because shrunken heads are part of your culture, but they're an ingredient of funny everywhere else.

You want him to make out with himself? Gross.

>Yea Forums is for people who think they're smart.
Not really, in fact we idealise mental illness, hence "weaponized autism"

Shitting on Calvin & Hobbes, even "ironically", feels crass and tryhard. I grew up with this stuff in the newspapers (I'm 32 now), always admired the art and content, so obviously seeing some smug dumbass trying to act funny by saying "lolol so smart" just to be an attentionwhore makes you put some things in perspective.

It feels like being a kid in the '90s, assuming your parents didn't get fucked over in the 1987 recession.

I know this is bait but its damn good bait. Well done.

I don't get it

>since he's implied to be her made over.
English isn't my first language, so I am not sure I understand what you mean.

Calvin's mom was just like him when she was a little girl.

>Hence the hatred of the series as a whole.
Its almost inexistent.

He got her nose.

That one always had me puzzled as a kid because I didn't understood how they had to chose between either a dog or a kid and wondered why they couldn't have both.

You can't. It's only half of a Sunday strip that OP cut out for his weak bait.

I never liked C&H and never understood the circlejerk around it. It didn't help that most of my knowledge of the series from an early age was those shit Calvin pissing bumper stickers.

Let's hope you never find out what your parents really thought of you, cocksucker.

Can you imagine putting all this time into researching dinosaurs and sketching, inking and coloring them just to set up a silly punchline about a kid playing with his toys?

...uh yeah, and?
They did this storyline once by the way, and he did it well, most other times it's humor strips

So what's your criticism?

wait is this where the peeing rebel kid comes from?

Imagine being so embarrassed by your initial depictions of dinosurs in your funny papers comics that you actually go ahead and learn how to draw them properly.

It's about how no matter how hard a mother tries to blend her child's least favorite ingredient into a meal to make sure he's receiving his nutrition, he won't eat it as long as he knows it's got that one ingredient he's overly picky about.
For me it was chicken hearts, which turns out I've eaten all my life in the shredded chicken taquitos my mother made me.
Of course I didn't know this until it was revealed to me when I was 21. We had a good laugh.

Good strip, I can relate.

It is extraordinary, but the memories stung a lot when your lovely dad dies suddenly when you just become an adult and you can't bide him farewell properly. He's been such a perfect father, he could at least say hello before going away.

I ate chicken hearts, hardboiled with spices, along with chicken kidneys, livers, legs.
I stopped eating legs because they made my fingers sticky and soggy.

die, zoomer

I love that early comic with the alligator-bellied faux t-rex

It feels nice, like a genuine slice of the American Dream. Your childhood is fun with plenty of fond memories, and it feels like nothing is impossible. It's almost indescribable, that genuine love you feel and their desire to see you grow and succeed, and even surpass them.

I honestly don't know. Two of the books I had were from a neighbor, but my brother had them before they were given to me. I even brought them to school for reading time and let my classmates read it, I'm not sure if they liked the strips to begin with or got into it because of me because a few other kids got books of their own eventually. I liked them enough for my parents to buy them for me on Christmas and birthdays.

It's a webcomic. They usually take a quote and create a comic around it. It's pretty bad.

I was lucky enough to get the complete three-volume hardcover set at a huge discount.

Heart, lungs, and liver of a sheep, boiled in its own stomach.

can you imagine a Calvin and Hobbes trilogy of animated films made by Pixar Ghibli?

Yes, it makes no sense for Watterson to not profit off his genius and beloved characters. If he was smart with the license and contracts he could make sure everything Calvin and Hobbes related was quality controlled and signed off by him.

Why are boomers afraid of true success?

get the paperback collections you pleb.

it's usually deep fried and highly salted and basically tastes like a fried liverwurst hotdog every time I had it. Haggis is good and not as gross as it sounds. Most people eat sausage right, what do you think the casings are made of what do you think is in the filling?

Faggot, boomers are the one that created this consumerist Hellscape. Watterson is one of the few good boomers, and profit fundamentally cheapens his integrity.

what the fuck did he do with all of his badass nazi war memorabilia in the first one? If he went to India he would have seen the beggars on the streets of every city who had their legs and arms broken as babies so they'd grow up to be cripples and better babies. If he went to Africa he would have seen the rampant crime, corruption and disease Nazis always rant about with his own eyes. All a trip around the world would do for Nazi man is confirm his racist beliefs. maybe he would have liked the Japanese for their strong ethnonationalist beliefs and culture.

Timeless Calvin and Hobbes well made classic cartoon films or TV would do more to spread his art and message than his comics ever will. Watterson deserves to live like an emperor drowning in gold and bitches.

Yeah, that's what they said about Lord of the Rings, too.
Watterson deserves to live his life as he desires, not according to how your greedy, goldlusting faggot ass thinks he should.

But he doesn't want gold and bitches. He wants to live out in the boonies and paint. If YOU want gold and bitches, of course, that is your prerogative; but first YOU have to create something as great as Calvin and Hobbes.

The Lord of the Rings films are amazing and lead to whole new generations and millions of more people reading the original books so what's the fucking problem? A classic cartoon or movie would just lead to more and more people in the future reading the original comics.

Did you know that the lack of non-muscle meat in the Standard American Diet is one of the reasons disease and malnutrition are so rampant? Are you one of those people that think the dark meat of the chicken is "weird and gross" too? Do you have any idea what chicken nuggets and most commercial-grade meat are made from?

I remember Squid remarking that it tasted like "salty marshmallows" before realizing what it was, which weirdly made me want to try it

beef heart is absolutely delicious and tastes like steak if cooked right. Good on BBQ.

Kidneys and liver are full of protein and also delicious cooked with garlic and onions and veg.

All ground beef you get at the store contains beef heart and offal I hope y'alls know.

I think you are talking about tripe, not haggis. Haggis is tasty seasoned ground sheep sausage encased in stomach (just like sausage is encased with intestines.) It doesn't taste that weird or gross, just tastes like meat sausage.

>The Lord of the Rings films are amazing
Lmao no they fucking aren't. The LotR films are passable as movies but do absolutely no justice to the books, and the Hobbit movies even moreso. Christopher Tolkien has even said that his father, had he seen the movies, would have them, and nobody knows Tolkien better than his son.

What did he mean by this?

Calvin is beyond based.

That Tolkien would have them on dvd I guess.

Would hate* them

>Tolkein would hate them, therefore they're bad
That's some retarded logic right there.

They might not do full justice to the books, but calling the LotR trilogy "commercialized mainstream shlock" is just being contrarian for the sake of it.

chicken breast/thighs/legs, steak, pork chops, etc. are known as muscle meat because that's what they are. organ meat (liver, heart, etc) is differentiated, even though the heart is technically a muscle I guess

>Lmao no they fucking aren't
Maybe Ralph Baskhi's films are bad, but Peter Jackson's films are literally considered to be among the best films of all time.

I can only see UPA or WB making a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon that would be considered classic now.

>That's some retarded logic right there.
No, if the literal author of the books that the movies are based off of would think they're bad and don't do justice to his work, then they're not a good example of preserving the integrity of an IP.

Litterally irrelevant; whether they're good movies or not has no bearing on the fact that they dilute the original work.

Imagine being angry at an Artist for NOT selling out.

>Litterally

lit·er·al·ly

kek

Thinking they're not doing justice is one thing. Calling them bad movies is another.

Also
>preserving the integrity of an IP
The LotR trilogy gave the IP more integrity than they'd had in five decades. I'll agree that the Hobbit was a soulless cash-in, though.

I'm touchier about chicken organs but beef hearts are delicious. Every time I'm enjoying a sausage or something I look at the ingredient list and BAM! Beef hearts.

He got some serious hate over this one. That and the comic where calvin said his "real" mom would have bought him a comic or whatever, and it got changed into a "loving" mom

Does anyone have a link to the story watterson told about reading a book concerning art criticism and how it was the most vapid and pretentious thing he ever read?

Dude is still a millionaire. His family is already set for life. If his kids aren't loaded it's because Waterson chose not to give then a trust fund.

One thing that becomes more apparent after reading the comic as an adult; It's possibly the most bitter, cynical comic ever written. It's also probably the only one where the creator actively hates the main character.

Schulz was at least on Charlie Brown's side, and treated him sympathetically. A lot of Watterson's material is almost sour.

>bitter, cynical comic ever written.
what

I know it's a meme but you really need to stop projecting your own insecurities onto a comic character.

Was Waterson autistic? Just because he refused true wealth to stay merely rich, doesn't mean that's the choice other people face when forced to consider abandoning their principles.

The guy who drew this is definitely autistic, I mean he unironically drew a fucking parody of what he was attempting to draw , but who the fuck cares about him.
