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.

I’ve read the webcomic. Surreal.
My favorite is probably the time machine, where Ca.lvin dumps the duty of writing an essay on future Calvin about four hours. In the future.
Sometimes, like Calvin, my boy would transmogrify into his favorite animal--a red T. Rex. Then he wouldn't speak for days; he would just roar, fold his tiny arms up to his enormous chest, and bite his big sister. He kept suggesting that I find a nice male T. Rex to marry, preferably a blue one. What cool stepfather that would be, eh?
He is a US Marine now, but the little green T. Rex is still in the corner of his bedroom closet, waiting for him to come home.
OK, fine, now I have to go wipe my eyes.
I’m usually a traditionalist, but this I would like to see.
We had no T Rex to blame stuff on, but we 3 boys would never rat each other out.
After hours of questioning, my Father would just pinch his nose and say “I guess the Phantom did it” LOL
Yep! Me three!
