Hey peoples!
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!
I guess Calvin see's a lot of himself in his daughter
Poignant... in that sad/happy way.

Kinda wonder what kind of adventures Calvin’s daughter and Hobbs get thrown into.
Amazing artwork
Dang it not agian
And the torch has been passed on
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.
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
