Best Dad Ever of the Day:
Jim Clark wanted to get a Hobbes doll for his Calvin-alike son to play with, but, as Bill Watterson has vehemently refused to allow the merchandising of his strip, Mr. Clark did the next best thing: He had one custom made.
“I think it’s a shame that Mr. Watterson doesn’t offer merchandise of his characters. It seems to me that he could create something for the public that wouldn’t tarnish his strip. But he chooses not to, and that’s his prerogative. I suppose it speaks a lot about his integrity and the care he has for his creations.”

Sonichu and his Creator

Christian Weston Chandler (or CWC, as he is fond of referring to himself), is the TRUE and HONEST creator of the ORIGINAL Electric Hedgehog Pokemon, Sonichu (which can also be seen as a medallion around his neck). He claims to be a “High Functioning Autistic” on a quest for a “Boyfriend-free girl to build into a sweetheart from the ground up.” For various reasons, he keeps getting trolled, both on the internet, and in real life.

Matrix Trilogy comes in neat toy Nebuchadnezzar

Up until now, “Why would anyone want to own all three films in the Matrix trilogy?” has been one of those unanswerable questions like “what happens to you after you die?” best puzzled over by absinth-sotted philosophers. The first film is fantastic: the second and third like having two perverted sadomasochists crouch over your face and unspool an engorged colon\’s worth of celluloid crap into your eyes, the chunky pseudo-philosophy only partially digested, like peanuts. No one not being subjected to the Ludovico Technique should willingly watch them more than once.
Here\’s the only sensible answer: Warner Brothers\’ Japanese release of the Ultimate Matrix Collection comes in a swank recreation of the steampunkish Nebuchadnezzar. Tempting for a moment, but $375!

Very cool.
December 11, 2009 at 2:03 pm
could Watterson sue for this?
(this is the only reason i have not made an McS tshirt. i’m too lazy to ask tiki if he would mind)
December 16, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Just send him a bottle of Jack D.
December 11, 2009 at 2:07 pm
also, yellow hobbes is yellow
December 13, 2009 at 10:19 am
Hobbes himself stated he was more of an ochre than straight orange.
December 11, 2009 at 10:49 pm
Awwwwwwww
December 15, 2009 at 2:07 am
Big props to Watterson for not being a sellout whore.
And that dad, well, he just warms the cockles of my heart.
*sniff*
December 16, 2009 at 1:45 pm
That’s awesome. Kudos to that dad. And I’ve always had tremendous respect for Watterson for not selling out his product for cash, and for ending it when he felt it was right.
December 16, 2009 at 1:48 pm
I’m kind of mixed on this. On the one hand, home-made toys are awesome. OTOH, Watterson quit 14 years ago, which means this toddler almost certainly has no idea what Calvin and Hobbes is about. So the toy has to more for the dad than the kid, which is kind of a dick move.
December 16, 2009 at 2:24 pm
Maybe he showed’em the strips, liked them and asked for a magical tiger.
December 16, 2009 at 2:35 pm
I dunno man, it’s cool to other people that he did it, but maybe the kid really likes stuff animals?
it’s not a weird thing that a kid would like those things.
December 16, 2009 at 2:40 pm
think of when the kid can read and appreciate the strip for what it is: A work of art. and i wouldnt put it passed his dad to read it to him. My grandpa read me calvin and hobbes.
December 16, 2009 at 4:12 pm
I agree
December 16, 2009 at 2:42 pm
I find it kinda sad that you can’t buy a Hobbes plush but you can find a fakie Calvin pissing on anything sometimes even squat pissing too. That really shows how the public feels about his art.
December 16, 2009 at 9:33 pm
I didn’t realize that was supposed to be Calvin.
December 16, 2009 at 2:51 pm
Watterson can suck a cock.

December 16, 2009 at 8:52 pm
He got it for his kid because his kid reminds him of Calvin. As the child gets older, he will, no doubt, treasure his Hobbes.
