It has been 20 years since the last Calvin & Hobbes strip was published in newspapers way back on December 31, 1995. What follows is an essential, authoritative and indispensable look back on everything that made the boy and his imaginary tiger friend great, in rhyme!
Made with love and admiration over 5 years with the help of puppeteers Chris Sassano and John Kennedy, beats from The Human Drum Machine and lyrics/rhymes from Dan Milano. Edited by Ali Nidzgorski.
All original characters belong to Bill Watterson.
We hope you enjoy and share this with any kid that might not have been introduced to the iconic strip!
Lyrics:
First name Calvin, last name not given
I terrorize 1st grade teachers for a livin
Just six years old, yellow hair with spikes
Got a striped red shirt, and I won’t ride bikes
My dad does though, says “It builds character”
I'd rather ride a wagon down hill ina blur
I still crash hard as I have deep discussions
It’s better on a sled though, LOOK, NO CONCUSSIONS
I make mad snowgoons once winter's snow falls
got a killer snowfort filled up with snowballs
I'm a babysitter's nightmare cuz I'm up all night
Never wrote a single book report that turned out right
I don't know my parent's names, but Mom and Dad are jerks
My dad- he won’t explain how base mechanics work!
SCIEN TIFIC PRO GRES GOES BOINK, I know
And Stupendous man's a stupendous hero!
Olly Wolly Polly Golly Ump Bump Fizz
If you don't play Calvinball you don't know what that is
My first biggest fear? EVIL MONSTERS LIVIN NEATH MY BED OR
When I miss a balloon I thrown at Susie’s D head
Like my mom’s food- Derkins makes me wanna hurl
That's why I started G.R.O.S.s, “Get Rid of Slimy girlS!”
Now before I start puking from my Mom's green gobs,
I'm gonna turn it on over to my main man Hobbes
It’s ME, Hobbes, I'm from your imagination
My insights are deeper than space exploration
Turn this box upside down for transmogrification
This way for time travel, this way for duplication
I'm a tuna loving Tiger, I'll eat until I'm stuffed
I'll pounce when you come home so you best be tough.
Cuz I'm a homicidal psycho jungle cat that naps
and then snaps, pounce any kid with a knapsack
We ain't ever sold out, ain't no merchandizin
Merely Watterson's brand of philosophizin
If your seein me peein on a car - it is not legit
Bill Watterson would never ever draw that kid
Cuz Watts drew stuff the likes you've never seen
Like a Tyrannosaurus in an F-14
C&H greatest comic strip of all time
That's why we went out on top back in 9-D-5!
