[ HOME ] A complete and original tribute to the Bill Watterson comic strip, Calvin and Hobbes

"The problem with new experiences is that they're so rarely the ones you choose." Photo Merges

Isn't image manipulation fun?!? With access to a scanner and image editing software like Adobe Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro or Paint.net, you can enjoy yourself making fake id's, public transport tickets....um....never mind. You can (legally anyway) have fun merging images of friends with comic strip characters. This page showcases the photo merges that I have done so far and merges done by some of the Cool Calvin Collection readers.
	Dancing Hobbes This image merge was created for a friend's 21st birthday. It's the first merge that I have done and took about 10 hours in total. The main time consumer was getting my friend to look like she was dancing. I had to cut and paste three different photo's of her to get the final image.
	Another day at the (Oval) Office This is a merge I did for my 21st birthday (yup, that's me in the centre). The Oval Office image is courtesy of the White House. It was a fairly straightforward photo merge. A photo of myself and copy/paste image of Calvin and Hobbes.
	Dance the night away... "I hooked my video camera up to the computer, and simply posed in different positions, until I found the right one. It's fairly simple." ©1997 Drew D. http://members.aol.com/kangadroo/main.html

What really happened at Chernobyl... "I made this merge in 1994 when I worked at the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station. Unfortunately, the cheesy computers could only deal with 16 colors... hence the lousy color." ©1997 Tim Coop http://patriot.net/~inferno

[ HOME ]	Cool Calvin & Hobbes Collection Cool Calvin & Hobbes Collection, a fan site about the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip, was created in 1995 and was my first website. It received a lot of updates until 1999 when I 'retired' so that I could focus on other things. In 2006, I couldn't stand some of the tacky design choices I had originally made in 1995 and so re-designed the site and updated some of the content. Hopefully Cool Calvin & Hobbes Collection will be good for another 10 years or more!	Have a look at ...	You should read ... Calvin and Hobbes (Apr, 1987)
