Portland-based photographer Michael S. Den Beste has flawlessly inserted Calvin and Hobbes (and supporting characters) into photographs to create beautiful scenes that capture all the best emotions of Bill Watterson's classic comic strip. He brings to life the serenity of enjoying comics together on the living room floor, the pleasure of summers outdoors, and even the zaniness of Spaceman Spiff and Calvin's snowman antics. I've included some favorites below, but Den Beste has a whole gallery of high-res images that's worth checking out.
