Reverend Jax Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 Had to cut out the 'Monsters Under The Bed', 'Dad giving Calvin bogus answers to sincere questions about life', 'Poetry' and 'Hating dinner' recuring themes, but I think this hits all the big fan favorites.

MyLeakyBucket Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Narrowed it down to Calvinball "The score is oogy to boogy..." or Spaceman Spiff "I'd just got this thing waxed..." What the hell, Spaceman Spiff deserves it, damn fine hero that he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Jax Posted June 19, 2002 Author Share Posted June 19, 2002 I just realized something. Our random thread "Blargh" is the DD equivilant of Calvinball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Not really. No-ones dumped water balloons on anyones head ...YET :sneaky: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted June 19, 2002 Author Share Posted June 19, 2002 The only rule in "Blargh": Every post must be unrelated to the previous and in no way a reply. The only rule in Calvinball: You can never play teh same way twice. The spirit is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Jax Posted June 19, 2002 Author Share Posted June 19, 2002 Who voted for Snowman art too? Way to go whoever did! I guess you most like Calvin's mocker of the avant garde world too, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Avant Garde? He built a bunch of protesting snowmen, had himself being eaten by a snow snake and of course, not forgetting the rise and fall and the killer monster snow goons. Still pretty funny though Something that should have been in the poll: Calvin getting attacked by his food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted June 19, 2002 Author Share Posted June 19, 2002 Yes, I did consider the attackign food theme, but I decided to cut it. I mean, I had to condense all the cardboard box inventions and Spiff and Stupendous Man into one, and there were still many worthy ones cut from the final 10. Yes the Snow Goons and Protesting Snow men were not avant garde, but the abstract stuff me made that he tried to explain its deep significance was.

Jumbie Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 I just remembered.... Rainy vacation camping trip theme... "Somehow, I know this is all designed to build character..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted June 26, 2002 Author Share Posted June 26, 2002 Does diareha build character too, Dad? I forgot that one. It only rained once, but they went camping several times, so that would definitly have been a candidate. But I still think it would have been eliminated with the others in the end. Good work though. I was going to put water balloon fights, but I 'lumped' it together with G.R.O.S.S. I was also going to do walks through the woods, but I 'lumped' that with Wagon riding. It was alot of consolidating and there was still stuff left over. I'm happy with what I did though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goatboys girl Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 What about conversation and tussles with Susie in class and bus stop dramas. Susie + Calvin = ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted August 12, 2002 Author Share Posted August 12, 2002 Calvin and Susie definitely had a love/hate thing going on. It's classic. I don't think either of them was aware of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 thats was a very tough poll (as it took me about five years to respond) but i opted for the transmogrifying box. the snowmen, the greeings home, dad's BS answers, there's a lot of greats, but i have fond memories of that box.

Silent Bob Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 (edited) Don't think I ever saw this poll... I'm gonna have to go with snowman art. Some hilarious reallife snowman art can be found here.

Reverend Jax Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 The toughest poll I've ever made. Other than this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alive she cried Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 THE ULTIMATE CALVIN and HOBBES SNOWMAN TRIBUTE Fans of the long gone but forever brilliant Calvin and Hobbes strip will remember that one of the comic's highpoints were when Calvin would create incredibly morbid scenes with snowmen. Good ol' DerMoerder from the Something Awful Forums found himself restless during a 20 degree snow filled day in New Jersey, and decided to roll up his sleeves, whip out the shovel (and red spray paint) and pay tribute to these brilliant works of art. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
