It’s cute when a kid plays make believe, but when a grown-up Calvin can’t let those worlds go, things turn ugly. This Gritty Reboots movie trailer has the pair fighting to keep the world of make believe from destroying the real world—and things do not look good.

I don’t care that this is supposed to be a room for a kid. I want to live there. Not only does it have an amazing mural on the wall that’ll make you feel like you’re relaxing on a lazy Sunday afternoon, but it has a bed that looks like the treehouse we all wanted when we were six. Yes, I freely admit I still want that treehouse now.

Calvin & Hobbes are adorable in comic strip format, but even more so when they’re animated. We’ve seen cute gifs and now there’s this animated short by Adam Brown. He took an original strip, then applied a little computer-aided wizardry to create this clip. I only wish it was longer.

This comic-themed wedding is more about the feelings invoked by Calvin and Hobbes than it is about cosplay or recreating that imaginary world in real life. Couple Stephanie and Jonathan chose the comic because of it’s fun, joyful, never-grow-up feeling and they carried that through to their wedding day with subtle and some not-so-subtle nods to the comic. It started with the invitations and included their engagement photos, a Calvin ring bearer with a Hobbes plush sewn by the groom and even cake toppers. The entire event was photographed beautifully by Junshien Lau.

I think it’s a proven fact that Calvin and Hobbes cartoons make any day a little brighter. They represent innocence, playtime, fun, and all the things we love best about our childhoods. Redditor nite4awk merged a bunch of the nostalgic comics with real life photographs, and the results equal happiness. Plain and simple.

This beautiful hand-painted Calvin and Hobbes guitar is a one-of-a-kind piece that was posted by Redditor BigWiggly1. It’s his old guitar, but his girlfriend gets all the credit for actually painting the image. They started by sanding it all the way down to the bare wood before painting it with acrylic paint. It’ll be finished up with a clear-coat to protect the image and he’s hoping it will be playable. If not, he plans to just display it on a wall.

No, this isn’t coming soon, except in our imaginations. Bill Watterson never released the rights so that Calvin and Hobbes could become a game, but that didn’t stop fan Johan Vinet from creating a start screen for it anyway. Watch as Calvin and Hobbes amble by in 8-bit glory and wonder about what we might have played.
