neatorama.com — Happy Anniversary to Calvin and Hobbes! It was November 18, 1985 (I know, I’m a day late), that the precocious little boy and his sage stuffed tiger/real tiger first hit comic pages across America. So, I thought I’d hit you guys with a little C&H trivia… I know, it’s not nearly enough to fill the void Bill Watterson has left us.

Can you really have an anniversary after you're over?(Still love C&H... but you know, it doesn't make sense.)

I'm gonna get flamed -but It's about time to start a movement among Calvin and Hobbes fans-------- The group is simple--I envision a time when Calvin And Hobbes as a property will be up for sale to the highest bidder, at that time someone who claims to be "a long time fan" will no doubt try to tell everyone about his or her honorable intentions in bringing the character to life...Our intent is to simply say this--unless the original author and only artist Bill Watterson sanctions such activity,we call foul...numerous times Watterson has said Calvin and Hobbes was his baby and this baby ain't for sale...........................................The powers that be, 10,20, or 40years from now, will ultimately try (regardless of Watterson's intent) to turn this humble creation into a cash cow, I'm simply saying if we get all true fans united in our intent to honor Watterson's wishes and tell future generations,,, then we can let the money grubbers know; any attempt will ultimately fail, any money spent will be a waste, any legal wrangling, or deal making by anyone OTHER than Watterson himself, will be for nothing. We as a group pledge here and now, to boycott any non Bill Watterson approved Calvin and Hobbes media of any kind forever!----at some point Watterson will pass away, and as such we pledge in the spirit of the author's intentions while he was alive, that we will NEVER go see a movie made by a 2nd party, or read a second author's book or wear or buy clothing not sanctioned by Watterson himself, unless he officially adds these things to his last will and testament--we will ensure that our children and our childrens' children will see to it that the least amount of profit possible will be turned off of the BASTARDIZATION of the Calvin and Hobbes characters--WE HAVE NO OTHER AGENDA BUT THIS ALONE_________WE DO NOT SELL ANYTHING It's time to send a message as a preemptive strike to the vultures in Hollywood and all over the world who are basically just waiting for Bill Watterson to die so they can get their greedy mitts on our childhood memories------ --"Calvin and Hobbes will not be touched unless Watterson deems it so"----"Find some other commodity to rape" --"we the people,.. the true fans are saying --YOU CAN"T HAVE THIS ONE!" Please don't let my grandchildren walk around in "made in china" Calvin and Hobbes Halloween Masks!--I got nothing against China, but I do have a problem with some millionaire making more money off an ignorant public mass who blindly buy, or attend any that "LOOKS-really-CUTE!" Hollywood movie their television tells them to... OPEN YOUR EYES! -Our children want anything and everything that sparkles and explodes----But Not all that Glitters is Gold---- witness TRANSFORMERS II ! (not even John Tuturro could save it)--- The creator of Transformers had no problem selling his story and subsequently any toy the could possibly make--- That's fine for them--- but Bill Watterson never intended Calvin and Hobbes to become a "brandname"------- a cereal--- a poorly written Saturday Morning Cartoon show--- a slogan on a T-Shirt---("Don't have a cow man!")-- A prize in a Happy Meal--- or a CGI Movie with a sequel; I'm Lookin at you Garfield. ---------------Plenty of people will bury this for being too long,, people will reply just so they can tell me how bad my punctuation or sentence structure is, DON"T CARE.-- keep your comments.-- My only goal is to start a discussion-nay a movement. WE PLEDGE TO BOYCOTT ALL NON BILL WATTERSON APPROVED CALVIN AND HOBBES MATERIAL.-- read Watterson's own words,Calvin and Hobbes should stay right where they are.
