Dec 28th 2009 By: Laura Hudson A few weeks ago, we posted images from a fan sketchbook with a "Calvin and Hobbes" theme , where various indie comics artists had drawn their own versions of the inseparable boy and tiger duo. Since that time we have discovered or been pointed to a plethora of other artists with their own take on the great and much-missed comic strip, and thought perhaps another roundup was in order. Although many of the commenters on the previous post saw any new or different versions of the characters as sacrilegious -- in part because of creator Bill Watterson's fierce resistance to merchandising -- I would suggest that while these are certainly not works of art on the same scale as the original comic, they are mostly heartfelt tributes from a generation of artists that grew up loving "Calvin and Hobbes," and want to express either the spirit of the comic or their affection for it in their own way.
