I'm Getting There

Calvin’s daughter, Bacon meets Hobbes for the first time.

This is amazing and you should go read it right now. The dudes behind the Pants Are Overrated webcomic made a pretty touching comic set 26 years after the last panel of the final Calvin & Hobbes strip. In this homage, Calvin passes his stuffed tiger/imaginary friend Hobbes onto his daughter named (awesomely) Bacon.

From the artist:

Calvin and Hobbes is basically the best thing ever, it’s one of my most prominent influences. So, after seeing some of the fan art that was out there of what Calvin would be like when he was an adult, I thought that it would be cool to flesh it out more. So, this is me trying to be as faithful to the source material as I could – of course, I’m no Watterson, but I think I did ok. As for why someone would name their daughter Bacon?   Well, my niece acquired the nickname Bacon over the years, and Francis Bacon was another old philosopher along with Calvin and Hobbes, so it seemed like a good name – plus, if anyone would name his daughter Bacon, it would be Calvin.

Go read it here.

This makes me so happy.
