I had been working on a much sadder painting of hobbes in a cardboard box in an attic surrounded by photos of Calvin having grown into his teens, graduating, adulthood, etc along with a tagline that would have read something like "I miss you so much". I just wanted the strip to go on forever.

It was so fucking sad I couldn't actually finish it, and that was like two computers ago so it's been lost to the digital gods now. These are much more happy and better.

*manly tears*

Oh, Watterson...thank you
