On this day the first strip of Calvin and Hobbes was printed forty years ago! To celebrate here's the front of an old bootleg t-shirt that belonged to my parents. The other side will be revealed next month!
#calvinandhobbes
The first four-panel strip of Calvin and Hobbes in which Calvin, wearing a pith safari hat, tells his father, who's washing his car, that he is trapping tigers with tuna fish sandwiches. The last panel shows Hobbes, dangling upside down on a rope snare, munching on a tuna fish sandwich. An old white t-shirt with an image of Calvin inside a toilet reaching for the handle to flush... A comic-strip panel of Calvin inside a toilet reaching for the handle to flush. Bill Watterson's signature is on the bottom right corner.

Pen and marker illustration of the scene from the 1966 film "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" in which Linus Van Pelt, with Sally Brown to his left, joyfully announces the appearance of the Great Pumpkin at the local pumpkin patch as an somewhat omnious silhouette, bearing a resemblance to a certain beagle, rises up against the full moon in the background.

Although the printed tshirts never got made, this little guy made enough of an impression on me to redraw them over a decade later. #art #illustration #grimreaper #shinigami #halloween

So back in high school I was part of an anime/manga club and an idea we had as a fundraiser was to sell tshirts with anime/manga inspired designs printed on them and one of the designs I came up with was a small grim reaper influenced by Bleach and Soul Eater. #art #halloween #grimreaper #shinigami

"Well there's no sense in worrying about it now"
"Why worry? Each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back"

Another picture of the smol reaper, this time I tried to go for a more manga-influenced look #art #illustration #grimreaper #shinigami #halloween
Pen and marker illustration of a small grim reaper with the wind blowing his cowl over his head, the glare on his visor obscuring his right eye, his right arm resting on the hilt of his oversized katana which rests on his right shoulder, the bottom half of his garb more ragged than usual, and his left sleeve torn away showing his skeletal but cartoony left arm.

"Now, when I die, bury me in my straight-leg britches
Put on a box-back coat and a Stetson hat
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So you can let all the boys know I died standing pat" #ghost #cabcalloway #fleischerbrothers #halloween
