Calvin & Hobbes, Act II: In Thy Image, Chapter 2-
Hobbes: ::ignoring Calvin:: I think I’ll bring the toothbrush and yo-yo, but I’ll leave the money.
The strip you refer to is from the book Indespensible Calvin and Hobbes, and after combing it, I couldn’t find the page. Sorry, I looked way harder than necessary.
unfortunately it’s still a GIF… and that get’s pixilated when blown up… the other unfortunate thing is I don’t have the anthology… if someone has it and can get a really good 300dpi scan and email it to me, I’d be very grateful (and if all goes right, something in it for you)
I saw a shirt, from either YoyoJam or YoyoFactory, with this strip on it. I absolutely love Calvin and Hobbes, but to make a T-shirt with a Calvin and Hobbes comic strip would be against the wishes of Bill Waterson, the creator. He wanted Calvin and Hobbes to never be merchandised, and it would be disrespectful for them to do so.
EDIT: checked Yoyofactory’s facebook page, and it was from 1993 xD
I actually own every individual book released (not including the Indispensible, Essential, etc. Those are just reprint collections of the other books), stored somewhere back home. If I get a chance to look at them again, I can probably find it.
