Bill Watterson is one of my oldest influences. I know that’s true for many, many people, but when I saw the opportunity to make a Selina strip in the Calvin & Hobbes style, I had to go for it. The Selina strips have been a wonderful excuse for me to play with other styles of art, in this case, going back to one of my childhood heroes.
Alright, everybody! We’re hitting the home stretch on the Kickstarter! Right now, if you click on the widget to the right ===> and pre-order the book with a pledge of $20 or more, you’ll automatically get whatever you pledge for, PLUS an exclusive thank-you card, PLUS a set of full-color sketchcards of the cast page art!
*whew*
If we reach $6000 over the course of the next couple days, we’ll ALSO throw in a set of buttons featuring the characters!
The book has been finished and sent to the printer, and if all goes well, we’ll be fully stocked at The Super Wild Pig show in less than a month. This is very, very exciting.

there had better not be any transmorgafiers showing up.
Oh my god, I love, love, LOVE this strip so damn much! Bill Waterson was one of my childhood comic heroes and like you Bill one of my oldest influences (both artistically and writing). Major love!
I’ve always wanted to see “Calvin and Hobbs, all grown up.”
What a great strip! So excited for you guys! Keep up the good work.
Nice! Very nice! Very, very, very nice! (You get the idea).
Ahh the first full “book” I ever read was Calvin and Hobbs.
Calvin and Hobbes….. I remember reading those books at my grandmas, since she had five or six of them. Love the reference guys.
Excellent tribute to Calvin and Hobbes. The second panel is wonderfully nostalgic.
LOVE IT. Especially the last panel with Selina being all adorable. mrow.
Okay. maybe not “especially” because the Calvin and Hobbes tribute is also awesome.
