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.
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'm transcribing every Calvin and Hobbes comic strip into text to build a searchable archive. This lets me quickly find specific moments, from Tracer Bullet’s noir monologues to Dad’s creative explanations for how the world works.
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 updated my Calvin and Hobbes index to include strips through June 1993. I have two-and-a-half years of the comic strip's history left to catalog to complete this comprehensive search resource.
