Literally A Dream Team

[bloodyrosemccoy]

As you know, Bob, my latest recurring dream theme is The Joker. I’ve had various themes throughout my life (Ursula from The Little Mermaid was the longest running), but still, I thought he might go away when I quit the Fukitol. Not so much.

Last night I dreamed I had just bought a comic book with him in it.

It was a Calvin & Hobbes book.

Now, I’m not sure how the two met,* since my dream self opened to the middle of the book. Perhaps the Joker was on vacation in the mountains and came upon Calvin’s family camping, or perhaps they ran into each other at Arkham.** All I know is, I wish I could draw, because that image I opened to of a maniacally laughing Calvin sitting on his wacky Uncle Joker’s shoulders was spectacular.

My subconscious: once again taking up the mantle of insane crossover crackfic when my waking mind just refuses to. I knew I shouldn't have made this icon before bed.

ETA: fenmere is so awesome he actually drew it! It's the first comment, and it is now on the list of my Favorite Images Ever.


*Or how anybody would get Bill Watterson, notorious comic-book-hater and cartoonist principled on licensing to the point that I almost feel guilty using C&H icons, to agree to this crossover in the first place.

You mean, like this?

You know, I feel like I should feel guilty about having drawn that, myself. Except that it's just so fun! Also, it was a good exercise.

Oh crap, that's awesome.

Also, I wish I had dreams like that. I guess I should be watching more cartoons?

...

I'd propose to you if it wouldn't make your wife feel a bit sidelined.

That's somehow ADORABLE. I want to use it as an icon.

Go for it! I was thinking icon when I drew it.

You can propose to me, too, but as you guess I'll probably have to say, "no." But I promise to discuss polygamy with my wife, at least briefly! ;)
