Real Life Calvin and Hobbes Snowmen

Posted by Stacy in Everything Else on January 13, 2009 at 9:04 pm



About a year ago, some third-year students at the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Pharmacy created a Calvin and Hobbes scene for fellow students and faculty to enjoy. They even trucked in extra snow to cover up their footprints so the snowmen appeared to be there of their own accord. Awesome.

    That's good, but I'd love to see someone do replicas of the self-replicating Mutant Snow Goons from one of the C&H strips. That or Calvin's Snowman Yard Of Horrors. That was good stuff. Man I wish Watterson was still producing...

    @Dave - "This snowman is eating a snow cone!"

    "Snow sharks?"

    "That guy's a goner."

    Haha!! I had done a couple of snow goons years ago, when I was in high school. Getting two heads on one goon required internal support, and a wider base.

    I had also completed two of the "Egad, Bad Dad." protesting snowmen, as well as the one with a hole shot through his belly by a cannonball.

    I was in the process of the yard of horrors, when an elderly neighbor had rung up the house and informed my mother of what "atrocities" I was commiting on "the decent wholesome image of snowmen."

    Their photos were taken with an oldfashioned camera, I wish they had digital cams back then, so I could post the images.

    @Nathan Miller:“This snowman is eating a snow cone!”

    Too funny! Don't forget that he's holding an ice cream scoop, and standing behind another snowman with several scoops missing.

    Man... I lived where there was no snow growing up while reading Calvin and Hobbes. I always wished that I could replicate the Snowmen...
