Calvin and Hobbes: Moving On

When I started this pic as a sketch I thought I was brilliant. I thought the idea was fresh and original. How retarded is that? Once I started looking up reference I found a giant pile of art about Calvin when he grows up. AND... a lot of them involved a daughter. I decided that I didn't care and did this one up anyway.
I hope everyone enjoys this piece. There is some heat regarding the concept of a grown up Calvin and that he should always remain a child. But to me, that's like wishing your puppy never becomes a dog or your child never becomes an adult... it's selfish. So, I consider this image about letting go of things you hold dear so it, and you, can move on.
Peace and carrots,
M!

Johnny Test is the worst Calvin and Hobbes animated rip-off ever!
facts
I guess Calvin see's a lot of himself in his daughter
This just makes me smile. As a dad who has a daughter i hope she grows up to be just like Calvin, out exploring the world and having fun. If she has to make crazy snowmen, so be it. I'll always support her crazy ways
Poignant... in that sad/happy way.
Kinda wonder what kind of adventures Calvin’s daughter and Hobbs get thrown into.
Amazing artwork
Cool.
Dang it not agian
And the torch has been passed on
Yes.
I almost feel like he's thinking, at that moment 'I see you are still enjoying yourself, Hobbes... and how long can I last before I spoil it?'
Brings back the good old days
What is the daughters name?

This looks really cool. The only thing that bothers me is that the eyes look creepy as hell.
this reminded me of the robot chicken thing
plot twist: he's planning the hundreds of ways he could commit murder and get away with it
notice how he's smiling at her despite how she just tracked mud into the house

Calvin and Hobbes is my favorite
It's brilliant! And well done.
This is great! One of my favorite comics of all time! 
Never saw any art like this before. Very nice, and the conceit behind it is wonderful.
