I would gladly put those stickers on my car.

True story: My dad used to have a Calvin peeing on a Dale Earnhardt #3 sticker. What Calvin peeing stickers have you or your loved ones had?

One time I saw a Calvin sticker but he wasn't pissing.  He was praying in front of a cross.

It was all sorts of WRONG.

That fuck*ng guy.

That kid.

Also, seeing Calvin reminds me of how great comics can be.  I think I'll go read some old Calvin & Hobbes instead of reading Achewood.

I once saw a Calvin pissing on WB Tazmanian Devil sticker.  Very weird.  My SO has a Ralph picking his nose decal on the back of his truck, and I remember seeing it on one of our early dates and thinking "I will date this guy for a very long time."  Three years and a house later, I owe the decal thanks for so much happiness.

I just like that the Calvin in the stickers has the same devious expression he would have when, say, pissing on a Toyota, except that in this case he's doing it while washing his hands. Holy crap, he's using antibacterial soap! He's a renegade!

Also: "MY OTHER CAR IS... ME!" sort of wins for odd surreality of phrase.

Always hated Calvin stickers, half from inordinate amounts of respect for Bill Watterson, and half from hating how the artists would always dress Calvin up like a greasy, trashy hick. After reading the comic for so long that image just didn't work in my head. What drives a person to desire an image of a 6 year old urinating on the back of their vehicle? Can't they just get a bumper sticker with a witty slogan?

Nice to see Philippe's car again. Reminds me of the "hot bloody fat" strip.

I want to have a cross pissing on Calvin while he's praying sticker. That would rock.
Yeah, the best part about this one is Calvins face. And that it brings up the insanity of the whole Calvin pissing THING. I, umm...I like it.

That 'MY OTHER CAR...IS ME!' bit made me think IT'S PEOPLE!
hm...

..and wow, from first glance I didn't notice he was washing his hands in the second image.. I guess it's always nice to be devious AND clean... that's the message.

Hee, good strip.
I'm kinda shocked Phillipe has one of Calvin peeing but then that's kinda neutralised by the washing of the hands. Nice.
In the UK very few people know of Calvin and Hobbes so these stickers are not prevalent. I get the joke anyway though.
Cos me am clevar.

To make this strip perfect for me phillipe would have had to make them himself, or more likely his mother sent them to him, preferably from church related organisation that cuts out calvin from the peeing stickers and pastes him in front of other stuff. To Promote Hygiene and Decency.

My other Car is Me perfectly captures the Phillipe thing of just kind of loosing the thread halfway through and then just saying the first thing that comes to mind so people don't think badly of him.

Thanks to this comic and thread, I can picture two things:

1) Jough reading through Calvin and Hobbes archives, pausing to note that Bill Watterson needs to stop making comics already because he's losing his edge.

2) This as the bass-laden tune blasting from Phillipe's speakers: this is what phillipe uses to cruise for tail

They're becoming more common, particularly in the football domain. Gillingham fans can buy a Calvin pissing on a Millwall shirt, and vice versa.

Well, they read better when you're looking through the archive.
