Eventually Calvin grew up and didn't need Hobbes anymore.

I did this for a battle over at the Satellite Soda forums. The topic was Destroying a Childhood memory. It was either this or SnakeEyes taking off his mask to reveal it was Gilbert Godfrey underneath all along but I don't think Gilbert references are cool anymore.

Daily Deviation

Given 2007-01-19

Having finally come to terms with living out the rest of my life as a perpetual child, forever clinging to toys of my childhood and the hope that cartoons will someday have the heart of Bugs Bunny again, DDing this heart-wrenching and subtly brilliant piece is proving to be both extremely difficult and something I can't do fast enough. The mission to "destroy a childhood memory" was certainly a success with Hobbes and its tight, sickly florescent-lit composition. Just between you and me, I like to think that Hobbes is still, even after all these years, warming his tiger tummy in the sunlight while waiting for his Calvinball partner to come home.

Holy shit, this is so fucking good, I can't say it enough. What a chill I got when I saw it was old Hobbes. It really made me sad. The palor of the pictures color is quite good (kind of death-like) and the crack in the wall makes me think that Calvin is living in a shitty one-bedroom apartment now and shooting up. Good job!

I think we all know it would be really really unlikely that Calvin would ever grow up.
:iconsacking-jimmy:
