Holy shit, is Calvin and Hobbes back?!?! (EDIT: No.)

For the curious, here it on amazon. Sweet deal really.

What is it with hardcore Christians and C&H? Everywhere I go I see Calvin either pissing on a Doctor (anti-abortion), or under a giant cross (perhaps he's really a Roman Centurian about to cruxify some enemy of the Empire?). Also, the local CRU (Campus Crusade for Christ) uses C&H for their flyers.

I just wanna know why he pisses on Jeff Gordon so much.
I mean, I know rednecks hate Jeff Gordon, but come on, do you really have to piss on the man?

They don't even have the rights to do that. Waterson never licensed C&H out for anything. Wish he would make them stop that shit.

Used to see the Calvin pissing image on trucks and shit years ago. It's been awhile since I've seen one.

Email a copy to Watterson and watch the hilarity ensue. ;)

And yeah, like Joust said, that's just a general "stupid pop culture" trend, but it's not surprising the biblethumpers would jump on it, they always do. It actually started with Ford and Chevy logos. Watterson got the original company making them shut down, but these days there are too many to go after and they make the character just different enough from Calvin not to qualify as infringement.

I've been a fan of C & H for years. It's been a while since I've glanced through any of the books. I may have to pick up the collection soon.

I dont think its back man - anyone got confirmation on that? I'm thinking some paper just decided to do reruns... this is how crappy rumours get started. =\

I'd say Calvin and Hobbes had a pretty good run. I've got the last comic framed on my wall, and it'd be a shame for the whole shabang to be spoiled by some kind of stupid revival.

I seriously doubt Bill Watterson would be dumb enough to do something like that, though.
