saddest cartoon ever.

[Zoomerang96]

this is what happened
when we realized we weren't six anymore.

 

[corianderstem]

Oh, the fake Calvin and Hobbes.

Excuse me, there's something in my eye.

:sniffle:

 

[Zoomerang96]

i don't know why someone had to go and make this.

it's awful.

and yet i posted it anyway.

it's brilliant in a sadistic way.

i'm not sure if sadistic is the right word.
BUT IT IS A WORD.

 

[corianderstem]

It's almost as bad as the fake Calvin pissing on something, slapped on the back of someone's lame-ass truck.

Or maybe that one's worse. Yeah, I think that one's worse.

This fake is brilliant and painful because there's a whole lotta truth in it.

 

[love_u2_adam]

that's soooo funny

 

[LemonMelon]

Can someone tell me why this is funny?

 

[corianderstem]

that's soooo funny

Okay, THAT makes me even sadder.

Garfield is never, ever funny. Even if it has a different cat in it. It's still never, ever funny.

Never.

Ever.

Nuh-uh.

Never.

Ever.

Nuh-uh.

But why did John turn into a cat for no reason?

Someone hold me...I'm really scared now.

Congratulations, you have made me cry laughing.

 

[elevation2u]

Garfield is funny
well at least the comic strip portion of it
never saw the cartoon and certainly never watched the movie

Nuh-uh.

Exactly. (Although I must say, the cat macro on Jon's face made me laugh)

The saddest thing about the fake cartoon in the original post; "& Hobbes" is removed, and Hobbes is just a stuffed toy in the final frame. I still remember when I stopped dragging around my pink panther, when he became just a stuffed toy to me... And then one day you find ten years have got behind you, no-one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

Oh, to be a kid again.

I think the cartoon is sad in the sense that people (like Calvin)acccept the loss of youth and all the things that one holds dear during it when in actuality they continue to be a part of you. Hobbes will always be a part of Calvin and the two will always have that connection. He isn't simply a stuffed animal when one considers all the things that he has taught and been taught by Calvin. Hobbes is as alive as Calvin and in old age looking back, Calvin will realize this. There is no such thing as a loss of youth only a forgetting of it in adulthood. Anyways, sorry for the rant.

 

[bono_212]

Is the comic trying to say that Calvin started taking some kind of meds and now concentrates more on his schoolwork than his best "imaginary" friend, and for this reason Hobbes turns back into a stuffed animal in the final frame? because if so...that is so so sad

 

[U2Man]

Okay, THAT makes me even sadder.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

You want to talk about not funny?

What the fuck is up with the Family Circus or Marmaduke?

Are they supposed to be funny?

Cus’ they’re not, in the slightest...

hold on to your youth ...

that's perhaps the most subtley depressing thing i've ever seen.

well done

The old Saturday morning show from the early 90's that also had that Acres pig was hilarious. I always thought the writers were brilliant and their humor wasted on little kids who didn't appeciate it as much.

The Calvin and Hobbes thing was sad, it's like Puff the magic dragon. No one should ever let the cruel real world ruin their imagination

gez.....I was already depressed before I opened this thread. lol now I wish I hadn't! That's so sad, the first thing I noticed too was that it was just "Calvin". Thought that was odd....then at the end with him as a stuffed animal again.....damn...

Indeed

 

[LemonMelon]

I finally get the joke of the original comic (I'm not a C&H fan, so it took me a while to get the stuffed animal thing).

That is really depressing.

 

[Angela Harlem]

You guys never saw Footrot Flats.

 

[cobl04]

Wow...

That was incredily depressing and sad, but very smart. That last cell is heartbreaking! I don't know the comic though... what is it?

Yeah so was I... I've had a shit of a day. I need a pick-me-up, not this.

But how sad

Is there anything wrong with the cartoonist?

I have a stuffed bear called Teddy. I've had Teddy since the day I was born, and to this day I still sleep with Teddy there. If he's on the floor I won't try and go to sleep unless Ted's with me.
