Photographer Places Calvin and Hobbes in Real Life Locations

There’s a new treat online for fans of Bill Watterson’s classic comic strip Calvin and Hobbes, which had its original 10-year run between 1985 and 1995 and continues in syndication.

Oregon photographer Michael S. Den Beste has used his considerable Photoshop skills to place the eponymous duo—who are named for the 16th-century Reformation theologian John Calvin and 17th-century English philosopher Thomas Hobbes respectively—in real life settings that resemble those that have appeared in the comic strip.

We’ve grabbed some of our favorites below, but you can check out more of the “real” Calvin and Hobbes photos on Den Beste’s Tumblr site, as well as at PetaPixel.
