WTF Images: The Eccentric Eight
RE: WTF Images: The Eccentric Eight
Wow. And I just realized I never looked at the credits on it, which would have at least partially clued me in. Did Watterson actually come out of his hermitage to work on it, or is it a well-done tribute on Breathed's part?

I think Watterson came out of hermitage to do it. He's done it before with another strip, actually, but I don't remember right off the top of my head which one.

It was three comics strips for 'Pearls Before Swine' (June 4-6 2014).

There were also apparently Bloom County/Calvin and Hobbes strips on April Fools Day of 2016 (http://www.sparklyprettybriiiight.com/th...nd-hobbes/) and 2017, as well as November 27, 2017 according to Watterson's wiki page.

The link should take you to another Calvin County strip. Unsure how to embed the image.

Breathed posted it in the regular postings of Bloom County this last month.

Breathed has been doing Bloom County/Calvin & Hobbes crossovers as an April Fool's strip for the last 3 years.

Gotta admit, it'd be a fun breakfast, though. I'm seriously considering trying that, along with melted butter to pour over the pancakes.

Wait, the moose isn't allowed at the table?  I thought this was supposed to be Canada!  Don't you guys do everything with your moose?

Take a closer look. The moose isn't seated.

Okay, "English in a trenchcoat" and "sphinx of black quartz' are now my two new favorite sentences.

ETA: And I think I know a place where I can work the latter into DW8. <evil grin>
