)Hey, be glad it's not the porn ones. Yes, that exists. No, don't google it.
Rule 34 of the Internet: If you can imagine it, there is a porn of it.
Most of them, yes. Not this one:
I love that. It faithfully homages both the spirit and the style.
@ Marten: In that case, the thread hasn't been in vain.
You're pulling a Scott Adams on us, aren't you, Bill?

I like most of that fan art. Especially with adult Calvin envisioning Hobbes as an actual tiger, not the anthropomorphic one we're used to.
And I admit, adult Susie is cute.

Wrong on both!
On a semi-related note, Bill Watterson just donated this painting of Petey from Cul de Sac to Team Fox for Parkinson's Research.
It's cool to see new art from Watterson, even if it's not Calvin & Hobbes.

Say what? You must explain this statement.
I'm pretty sure Calvin's mom was doing the Family Circus mom
Or Lois from Hi and Lois.
That painting is beautiful by the way.
I actually don't mind most of the fanarts I've seen (with one or two exceptions).
One thing I remember fearing when I was little was that when I grew up, I would stop seeing the magic in things around me. I actually found The Velveteen Rabbit to be a scary story for that reason, because it put the idea in my head that part of growing up was losing your imagination.
Thankfully I made sure that wasn't going to be true, by writing.
So when I see the older Calvin with a more detailed Hobbes, I guess it's easy for me to see myself. I would wonder if that older Calvin was an author (published or not, doesn't matter) and Hobbes had become a story character he was writing.

When I was a kid, "Puff the Magic Dragon" was sad to me for the same reason. Luckily, my definition of growing turned out to be "adding," not "substituting," so I was immune to that death of the spirit.
i never grew up. i just got older and learned to fake being an adult.
Isn't that how it works? Now I'm confused.
I don't know about everyone else, but that's how it has worked for me. I'm not faking it all that well, however.
The way I see it, you have to grow up eventually, but you can stay immature forever.
It comes down to a very personal decision. Unfortunately many people in today's world feel they have no choice in the matter. Mr. Whoa Nellie and I have made many sacrifices over the years so that I can be a full-time, stay-at-home mom because that was what we felt was important.
To the OP, Calvin's mom had a job, one of the most difficult, demanding, under-appreciated, and momentous jobs of all. There is an old saying, "The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world."
Warmest Wishes,
Whoa Nellie
