V for Vendetta, W for Watterson?

Comics and cartoons

Via B3TA’s regular image reworking sessions comes some cracking contributions on the theme of ‘cartoon identity crisis‘. Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes re-enact a key scene from V for Vendetta:

Being Charlie Brown, good grief:

A more realistic Viking outing for Hagar the Horrible (although to be honest with binge drinking and knife culture yobs this is pretty much a standard Saturday night in many British cities these days):

In an alternate, drunken reality 2000 AD had a rather different blue-skinned future war hero:

There are pages of these on B3TA, some don’t work but quite a few are bloody funny and several are downright sick. Go and enjoy them.

    Can I just say how grateful I am, as a B3tard, that you’ve published some of the creative people’s work?

    I’m not grateful that you’ve published it – that happens all the time – but I’m really pleased that you’ve credited the work and provided a link back to B3ta.

    Well done sir. I wish more sites were like you.

    Cheers
