The Calvin and Hobbes / Spiderman Mash-ups by Timothy Lim turn the curious kid Calvin into Peter Parker and the huggable Hobbes into Venom. The two can be seen together in classic Calvin and Hobbes form as they zip down a hill on a rickety kart. Lim's artwork is dead-on style-wise with the original Calvin and Hobbes comics by Bill Watterson. It's almost as if Watterson had made these drawings himself.
The series of images titled Scientific Progress Goes Thwip is based on the Watterson's orginal title. These creative Calvin and Hobbes / Spiderman pictures are sure to bring back memories of childhood imagination.
