Bob the Squirrel by Frank Page for July 11, 2010

What is this? A rip off of C&H?

It looks like it’s tough sledding for Frank and Bob, and you might want to think of this as an homage to Calvin and Hobbes. Take a look at today’s strip:

Except that C&H are perfectly calm.

See my comment there.

Love the watercolor work.

Love the watercolour effect.

Brilliant, Frank!

Art imitates life? Frank quails before it while Bob is eyes wide open embracing it. Oh well, we are who we are.

What you get with squirrely drivers………….

Role reversal. In C&H it’s the animal who’s the voice of reason.

Hobbes is a stuffed tiger, not an animal.

This is why he can talk and stuff - an animal wouldn’t be able to say anything.

Ron, I can see why you have the “genius” rating. Most of us here didn’t know that!!!!

So what if it’s 3 years old. I haven’t sen it. And at my age I probably wouldn’t remember it, either :-)

It DOES say it’s Classic so perhaps Frank is on vacation?

Ron, when he’s animate, he’s an animal, something which bot he himself and calvin have affirmed in a number of strips.

If you want to be so bloody literal about it, Hobbes is just ink on paper or pixels on a screen, not really a stuffed tiger.
