Calvin and Hobbes: The adult years [Fan trailer video]

What if Calvin of "Calvin and Hobbes" fame grew up? And what if, instead of leaving behind his talking tiger and visions of dinosaurs and life in outer space, those visions followed him, slowly turning him insane?

Well, it would make for one heckuva movie trailer, that's for sure. At least, so thought the good folks at Gritty Remakes, who created a pseudo-preview featuring Calvin as a college-aged man with a lot of issues. He still talks to his imaginary friend. His mind still goes on flights of fancy. But these aren't journeys of whimsy. The adult Calvin is a man on the edge.

Wish they’d release a small book featuring all (and only) the C&H snowman strips.

I have so many C&H books.
What a great observation on personality the entire strip was.

I love everyone in the series.

LOL, I still remember that strip whenever I think about Calvin and Hobbes. I especially love the way his mom totally lost it.

Try Wilfred.

I still am not sure just who or what the talking dog really is.

I’m proud to say that I read every one of C&H strips from beginning to end. Beginning in the Chicago Tribune and ending in the Milwaukee Urinal Cesspool. Best comic strip in memory.

“Zits” comes in a very close second.

Amazing, AMC or Scifi (Yeah I know they go by Scify now) needs to turn this into a miniseries.

Is there a “Calvin” ping list?
