Calvin and Kratos, now that's a comic I'd read.

'Well if you are gonna rip off something, then rip off something good.'

 

[happy_turtle]

Well at least you'd be plagiarising something imaginative and fun. I still weep when I see Ctrl-Alt-Del knockoffs.

 

[SonicWaffle]

Calvin and Hratos, can you imagine? It'll be the "noodle incident" times a thousand!

I forsee Calvinball becoming significantly more violent...

Man, you haven't even payed Calvinball if you don't get at least a 500 hit combo, and the "field" isn't full of harpy bits and minotaur horns. After that, it's three points if you can beat Zeus, but only if you've stepped into the points-scoring zone.

Clearly you're playing it wrong. You didn't even mention dropping Pandora's head on the triple-word score or having to wear a viking helmet on every third Tuesday lest you be deducted points (unless it's Chinese New Year, in which case you get double points and a lollipop)

Yeah, but the points-scoring zone is in the Invisible Sector, which means you have to do it blindfolded.

Pretty much this. If you're gonna be accused of ripping something off, might as well go for the best syndicated comic strip ever printed.

 

[Renegade-pizza]

Soooo, how's Mo going to end up when he tries to steal Kratos...?

 

[randomsix]

I am so sorry that your life has been empty of Calvin and Hobbes until now.

Well, obviously, yeah. To say nothing of the way one has to hop backwards on one foot while swearing the Oath, and if you mess it up, you have to go through the Hades gauntlet again, but this time, without the double jump.

On the topic of tributes to Calvin & Hobbes, here have some Bacon & Hobbes.

Spoiler: WARNING, FEELS AHEAD

 

[BX3]

Just make sure not to make a followup comic where "Kratos" super-murders Calvin's family. Then you'll be accused of ripping off Robot Chicken.

 

[LittleMikey]

*EDIT* nevermind

 

[Fappy]

I would have never considered it a Calvin and Hobbes knock-off until you mentioned it

Heh, yeah, I spend lots of time wishing people would stop trying to be creative and just go back to ripping off old things that used to be popular.

...

Mind you, this is only certain people, but there are lots of them in the entertainment industry.

Kratosball.
Ye gods.
