Calvin and Hobbes Vs. Darkseid

 

The ruler of Apokolips really needs to lighten up a bit.  Will a beach day with these two do the trick?  I doubt it, but it would be fun to watch.

  1. Aha! Great scene Ross! Next, Darkseid will have Granny Goodness serve as their babysitter. Then, Calvin will have to match wits with Glorious Godfrey.

  2. Great work.The Darkseid image you chose here really fits with C & H.

    BTW, have you ever tried a Tiger Team? Hobbes, Tawky Tawny from Captain Marvel and Tuftan from Kamandi. Maybe there are more?

    (I thought of Jermaal from the Jonni Future/America's Best Comics but when I checked with him he said he was a cheetah and refused to cheet and change his spots...)

    1. Perhaps as a SWAT (Special Weapona And Tigers) team for Cat Precinct?

  3. This is great!

    May be worth a sequel with Granny Goodness as a substitute teacher.

    1. Calvin would drive Granny Goodness insane!

    2. You mean, she's not already?!

  4. Eric may be on to something here... though I have an alternate take...

    Start with Calvin, add Dennis the Menace and Peppermint Patty, perhaps Gosalyn Mallard... maybe a couple of others... and you have a new "Brat Pack!" Then when Granny Goodness comes to substitute teach them, she'll have met her match!

  5. This looks like a job for...STUPENDOUS MAN!

  6. Mr D. does need to rethink what he wants. Having a universe of your own is not much considering the shape its in. Calvin meets Alvin next?

  7. What if--that rascally ornithophile Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot wanted to acquire, for his aviary, a specimen of OPII BIGGUS SCHNOZZOLUS, the Common Hefty-Nosed Penguin? Our host has only used Opus once before now...

    Or maybe the Bat-Villain in question could clash with the Penguins of MADAGASCAR?

    1. Or the dancing penguin waiters from MARY POPPINS?

  8. Good suggestions Eric and Kid! Although, it just struck me: maybe this is a job for Spaceman Spiff. Then again, I've never seen Hobbes in a story with Spiff. To the best of my knowledge anyway. Very interesting!

  9. Fantastic! Darkseid and Calvin, two of my favorites. Making Darkseid laugh is the most dangerous thing one could do.

    1. "Let's test that theory?" said the Joker: " 'Two bats walk into a bar...' "

  10. hmmm...Would Darkseid give Mr J powers and then just let him loose in the Marvel universe??

    1. Why not? He'd have quite a hench-trio working for him! Glorious Godfrey, Amazing Grace, and Jolly Joker.

  11. In the Marvel Universe? Jolly Joker would run afoul of a Hero Team led by Squirrel Girl: "The Nut Crackers"

    1. She'd more likely become Squirrely Quinn. :-(

    2. Nah but Harley would have a spot on the team.... Let's see: Squirrel Girl (and Tippy Toe), Harley Quinn, Doc Samson... Who else can we get? Psyche Out (From GI JOE)... Anyone else?

  12. Cover of the month!
