Brian Kesinger, a story artist at Walt Disney and an artist for Marvel Comics, captures the bratty, imaginative Calvin at his best. (But makes Kylo just a bit too sympathetic.)  Awesome tip, Shane!

Watchin' Calvin & Hobbes

Calvin as multiple Dr. Manhattans? The world doesn't stand a chance. Of course in the Watchman world, I'd exepect Calvin to be The Comedian, not Hobbes. (Chris Thornley for Art V Cancer; via HeroChan)

Homicidal Psycho Alien Symbiote

"Homicidal Psycho Alien Symbiote is a Peter and Venom collection. The title refers to a sub-plot in the series involving Venom’s tendency to surprise Peter and try to eat his brains, leading Peter to make the titular exclamation."

I love Timothy Lim, aka ninjaink's takes on Calvin and Hobbes and his series of Peter and Venom illustrations are no exception.

Secret Agent Calvin Hobbes

What if Calvin grew up to be a secret agent? You don't have to wonder, Coran Stone has done it for you: "I thought of Calvin as a boy who grew into a man and never gave up on imagining himself as different characters."

I would hang out with these three in a heartbeat! Though the most fun would be listening to Hobbes made deadpan remarks to the over excitable Tigger and Tony. (Andry Shango via Comics Alliance)

"Johnny and Uncle Bob is a syndicated daily comic strip that was written and illustrated by American cartoonist James Cameron, and syndicated from October 26, 1984 to August 29, 1997. It follows the humorous antics of John, a foul mouthed six-year-old boy messiah, and Uncle Bob, his stoic robot friend." (Johnny and Uncle Bob by ninjaink)

Cowboys, Tigers and Bears

"How it would be before the popular children's books, movies and comic strips. Before the Andy, Calvin and Christopher Robins. Were these guys just three dudes that hung out and caused trouble."

kizer180 shows us what that might have looked like. Seems like Hobbes is the only one who kept his troublemaking nature.
