    Both images remind me of summertime as a kid. Thanks for making my day a little bit brighter.

    Terrible. Why is Hobbes a kid in a suit? Why do they look like bored hipsters? also, the tree limb below the one they are setting on seems to just disapear instead of crossing behind them.

    And, yes, I am anonymous.

    It's kind of a WILD THINGS take on our favorite comic strip philosophers.
