This is … very bizarre.
I was just trying to find the strip whose punchline is Hobbes saying “You misspelled Weltanschauung” when I came on this.
My brain hurts. Go read.
How did this site put so much thought in to this and not realize where Calvin and Hobbes get their names?
But yeah, it is pretty damn bizarre.
Bizarre indeed.
And I just thought it was a funny comic strip about a boy and his stuffed tiger… Boy am I naive.
I do have to say I find it fascinating. I’ve read through the first two pages.
And, I find the color scheme and formating very pleasant to read.
I kind of liked the page that used Calvin and Hobbes to “explain” Fight Club.
This is just… weird, though.
And some people want to legalize marijuana.
That website is a good example of the potential ramifications.
All I see are C&H references and Columbine accounts, extremely tenuously and poorly linked.
So where did Calvin and Hobbes get their names?
Umm… That was kinda… Scary. Very weird.
Bill Watterson named Calvin and Hobbes after the philosophers. And this web site is wrong.
Umm… That was kinda… Scary. Very weird.
Uh…I don’t know what to say. I’m a huge fan of Calvin and Hobbes, and I cannot believe what this guy is saying!
Stop disparaging by favorite cartoon!
“I was just trying to find the strip whose punchline is Hobbes saying “You misspelled Weltanschauung” when I came on this”
Now I’m curious. I thought I’d read every C&H strip dozens of times each. This sounds like one I haven’t seen before, or at least can’t remember. If you do come across it, do tell!
This site is extremely disturbing. I want to stop reading it now. But I probably won’t.
Yes, and in the characters deeper discussions (sunday strips mostly) the characters take on the view points of their two namesakes.
Gah. Aside from the awkwardness of centered text (it screams “I want to be bad poetry!”) … just wow. Someone put a lot of thought into that one. Bizarre, surreal, not particularly real-world linked thought. But there’s sure a whole lot of it…
I remember seeing something like this a few years back. Except it was an essay, and was actually written coherently, and the color scheme wasn’t designed by Jeff K.
This just reads like Time Cube. I would go through the whole thing, except I don’t feel like reading a giant poem based on the “C” school (I will NOT type that name).
C: People always make the mistake of thinking art is created for them.
C: But really, art is a private language for sophisticates to congratulate themselves on their superiority to the rest of the world.
C: As my artist’s statement explains, my work is utterly incomprehensible and therefore filled with deep significance.
H: You misspelled “Weltanschauung.”
C: A good artist’s statement says more than his art ever does.
The strip’s in It’s A Magical World.
I guess so. It’s only the most in-depth philosophical mainstream comic strip ever to be created. Seriously.
Okay, that sounded like a joke. But I’m serious!
I am, darn it!
I love Calvin and Hobbes… that site was just… strange… I read most of it (until about 1/4th of the way down the third page) before I got lost in their weird logic and couldn’t think straight for about half an hour.
Amusingly, Thomas Hobbes once argued a human in the natural state has only two rights: the right to be killed and the right to be eaten. Perfect for a tiger!
