I found a series of charming doodles depicting Calvin and Hobbes exploring Chennai. The illustrations show the iconic duo enjoying local culture, such as eating idli and visiting Marina Beach, providing a unique South Indian twist to the characters.
Calvin and Hobbes in Chennai. The posts between 10-13 March 2006 have (pretty good) doodles of Calvin & Hobbes eating idli and visiting the Marina beach.
I shared links to complete online archives of Calvin and Hobbes comic strips and compiled my own collection of typed quotes from the series. I also included a resource for humorous advice from Calvin's dad.
I share Martijn's Calvin and Hobbes search engine, which indexes detailed strip descriptions. While his tool focuses on visual details and plot, I built a complementary engine for searching the specific dialogue and quotes from the comic.
I spent years hand-transcribing every Calvin and Hobbes strip to build a searchable text index. After a massive traffic spike from Reddit and MetaFilter, I received a copyright takedown notice and had to remove the archive.
I found a fascinating comparison between Fight Club and Calvin and Hobbes, arguing that the movie is essentially a dark reimagining of the comic strip's core dynamic and the nature of imaginary friends.
I shared a YouTube video of a fan-made Calvin and Hobbes animation produced by Dadomani. This short clip brings Bill Watterson’s iconic comic strip characters to life, experimenting with how the classic artwork translates into a moving format.
