Behold _Calvin and Hobbes_ mashed up with _Dune_: [Calvin and Muad’Dib](http://calvinanddune.tumblr.com/). It hits more than it misses, and [some of them are delightful.](http://calvinanddune.tumblr.com/image/100075573727)[He even got permission from Watterson’s lawyers.](http://www.barnesandnoble.com/blog/sci-fi-fantasy/how-one-mash-up-artist-got-legal-permission-to-pair-calvin-hobbes-with-dune/?st=AFF&SID=BNB_DRS_Evergreen_20150928&2sid=Skimlinks_7105398_NA&sourceId=AFFSkimlinksM000006)

Yes, thanks! I want a poster of the colour strip.

Good for Bill Watterson. He was very protective of his work and did not market products related to it. I used to have one of the cow mugs from the Far Side, and still buy anything Peanuts related. I want a Hobbes, yet I respect Watterson’s reluctance to compromise his principles.

My pleasure. Yeah, I’d love a poster of the sandwalk strip too.
