  • preppypoof, on 08/02/2008, -2/+304i miss calvin and hobbes
  • anemptygun, on 08/02/2008, -13/+293This is pretty clever.

    (btw the last one is the best...)
  • whiteknives, on 08/02/2008, -6/+239I'm normally not open to such Calvin & Hobbes blasphemy, but it was actually decent so just this once...
  • nickbr00tality, on 08/02/2008, -8/+202Funny...if Hobbes was in one, they could talk about Mac OS X 10.4...if you know what I'm saying.
  • themagicnote, on 08/02/2008, -12/+173I was expecting them to take a ride on Calvin's iSled
  • MercFox1, on 08/02/2008, -3/+125I wish Bill was still doing C&H, I'd love to see his take on stuff going on in today's world.
  • Rotzooi, on 08/02/2008, -0/+106Fortunately, most of his wisdom is timeless.
  • ekard14, on 08/02/2008, -4/+94Pretty funny. Anyone know who does this?
  • FlynnRocks, on 08/02/2008, -0/+84It is in MAD magazine by Jacob Lambert
  • pitdog, on 08/02/2008, -4/+77Calvin & Hobbes - one of THE best comic strips ever. Let us hope some day the Author decides to give us some more of his genius.
    True artist - never wanted dollars form stupid C&H stickers, shirts, mugs and other *****.
  • UltraMegaFilms, on 08/02/2008, -5/+73It sounds like you don't think these articles are mocking Steve Jobs? Here's my version:
    I dislike Steve Jobs and Apple fanboy's ignorance, therefore this is pretty funny, and very well done.
  • Zopwx2, on 08/02/2008, -1/+64Good job tearing out pages of MAD magazine and not crediting them.
  • jackspade, on 08/02/2008, -0/+60This was in MAD magazine. They are not ripping anyone off. It's called a parody.
  • tehjames, on 08/02/2008, -4/+54Wow, that was great and it kept the same style of humor as the original.
  • Tribs, on 08/02/2008, -0/+51http://www.flickr.com/photos/35923610@N00/27222670 ...

    ask for the other page and ye shall receive
  • inactive, on 08/02/2008, -13/+60First off, don't link directly to the image. Link to the person's Flickr page and let them get some of their own limelight.

    Second, this was in this month's MAD Magazine, for those interested. There's a second page to it, too. Chances are that the person who posted this on Flickr uploaded page 2, too, but we'll never know, will we, MakiMaki?

  • LucasG2, on 08/02/2008, -0/+44I can see why those weren't in the original post, they are way more anti-jobs. But equally as funny.

    Thank you for finding them though.
  • Thater, on 08/02/2008, -0/+41You had to google Calvin and Hobbes?

    I weep for the future.
  • michaeldpotter, on 08/02/2008, -5/+46Shouldn't this be in Entertainment > Comics & Animation, not Technology > Apple? I mean it even has [COMIC] in the title.
  • sarchosis, on 08/02/2008, -4/+44I dunno, I think the last one is the worst. Who would believe Jobs would listen to someone besides himself?
  • BladeNd64, on 08/02/2008, -0/+39I assure you, that is not the creator of this comic. The creator of Calvin and Hobbes did the comics for 10 years, from 1985 to 1995. As you can see, the references in these comics are much later than that.
  • tidu, on 08/02/2008, -1/+36I can't help but point out that it's 100% comic.
  • Iggins, on 08/02/2008, -7/+40After reading http://garfieldminusgarfield.net/ I made some of my own "Calvin"s. http://george.sturges.googlepages.com/calvin
    I might make more as if i find funny ones.
  • NathanielJ, on 08/02/2008, -0/+31Of all the backfired jackass comments ever made on Digg, I think that mrblue's in my new favourite.
  • weirdo50, on 08/02/2008, -1/+30Jacob Lambert WROTE it, but Gary Hallgren was the artist.
  • NathanielJ, on 08/02/2008, -0/+29You want it linked to the person's Flickr page so that they get some of "their own limelight" even though (as you yourself said) it was scanned in from MAD Magazine?
  • cornflakepirate, on 08/03/2008, -0/+2410.4 is codenamed "Tiger".
  • Mutton, on 08/02/2008, -0/+24Haha! I remember when he said that in the comic I was just looking at.
  • UltraMegaFilms, on 08/02/2008, -0/+22No, but I feel a combination of "it should have been me" and "it's about time."
  • CobaltBlue, on 08/03/2008, -0/+22Gary Hallgren is just a tracer.
  • AbdullahAbuDawu, on 09/12/2008, -1/+22I'm going to flame you instead of giving you a legitimate answer as the people above me.


    You suck.
  • halfdirt, on 08/02/2008, -1/+20The submitter needs to be kept from reproducing, and all existing children need to lowered screaming and crying into a vat of acid!
  • benologist, on 08/03/2008, -1/+18Your mother's a tracer
  • tidu, on 08/02/2008, -0/+17Macadamia Nut?
  • inactive, on 08/02/2008, -5/+20It's 50% Apple, 50% Calvin, and there's no Calvin section.
  • Thater, on 08/02/2008, -5/+20Probably the same guy who draws Calvin peeing on various logos.
  • Llanowar, on 08/02/2008, -14/+27iDugg you up.
  • OpaqueMurdock, on 08/02/2008, -0/+11Thanks for taking the time to dig this information up... to bad the original poster was not as cool as you. Keep up the good work! I think setting a good example is worth the effort.
  • grizzlybrice, on 08/03/2008, -0/+11iSee what you did there.
  • sarge96, on 08/02/2008, -1/+12I don't know... the version of Jobs he draws seems to have an amplified creepiness, especially when it's him and a little kid like Calvin.

    Not to say Calvin couldn't totally beat hiss ass up, down, and sideways if he had to.....
  • stevealford, on 08/02/2008, -0/+11That was probably to avoid copyright infringement in some way. Better to be safe than sued.
  • nickbr00tality, on 08/02/2008, -0/+11lol @ the last one...

    but they were all funny
  • snowboarder7, on 08/02/2008, -0/+11This just made my day.
  • gavin422, on 08/03/2008, -0/+10Of course it did. It had strips dealing with war, death, redemption, throwing water baloons at little girls, etc. But it never took on current events, which is important, because it means C&H never became dated.
  • Nollykin, on 08/03/2008, -3/+13I'll admit it! I don't get it.

    Someone explain it to me? (Or just flame me, whatever :P)
  • NathanielJ, on 08/02/2008, -0/+9What the hell did they do to Calvin's mom?
  • enclaved, on 08/02/2008, -0/+9yes, I took a break from exploring sexually creative positions with apple products and I still found this funny.
  • Ayavaron, on 08/03/2008, -0/+9Maybe you noticed at some point that Frazz isn't nearly as good as Calvin and Hobbes?
