hello fine ppl. since the many of you are very resourceful ppl and i have proven to be lackin in that aspect i was hoping you guys could give me a hand.

recently my friend saw an animated gif of calvin of calvin and hobbes pissing on the verizon logo. has anyone else seen this or is able to point me in the direction of it?

i have googled and w/o the word 'verizon' i seem to be gettin porn sites and with the word 'verizon' i seem to be getting nothing.

Hmm, simple Google image search couldn't find anything with him and verizon, using a few different variations. However, you can always use one of the results from it and just paste in the verizon logo instead, though it wouldn't be animated.

image search for calvin piss

Ditto. In denver they are also one of the few cell providers that actually have decent service. I've been with them for about 4 years.

I HATE those Calvin Pissing logos, no matter what the target is. Calvin & Hobbes was a great comic strip, and these ripoffs are an insult to Bill Watterson.

I don't know they must think they are cool, Like I hate Honda's but you don't see me having a Calvin pissing on the "H" on my car.

The stupidest one I ever saw was an Acura Integra had Calvin pissing on the Honda "H"...I couldn't stop laughing the guy must have never opened the hood on his car(Acura is Honda's second company, and all Acura's are powered by Honda).

It is also my undestanding that Bill Waterson has never liscensed C&H for any of that marketting crap. Im not sure, but i think that every last one of them is illegal.

thanks for the input guys. i normally don't like those stickers neither but my friend just started working for a local comepeting wireless company and thought it was absolutely the coolest. she's been asking me and asking me to find it for her.

I THINK if there is some small variation, then they can get away from it. like the 3 legged horse of Ralph Lauren. but that's what i think.

Bill Watterson isn't happy about the vulgur rip offs either. The following is a portion of an article I found on the web. Glad to know other people think those decals are as offensive as I do.

"The mustached man steps out of the Popcorn Shop in Chagrin Falls, clutching a cup of frozen yogurt. His eyes scan passersby. He's looking for that stare of recognition, that sideways glance of familiarity. But no one seems to track him as he walks back toward his car. He climbs in and sets the rest of his frozen dessert onto the passenger seat, next to the oil paints he bought at the art store earlier. A hint of a smile appears. Another successful day of anonymity.
Then the man notices the large 4X4 truck parked in front of him. There it is -- that mocking decal, stuck on the back window. It's Calvin, urinating on a Ford logo, grinning with gleeful malice.

The man's smile disappears. "My boy," he mutters ruefully. "Oh, my boy."



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Who knows what Bill Watterson expected out of life once he abruptly stopped drawing Calvin and Hobbes, his wildly successful comic strip, in 1995. Always media-shy, he apparently sought to disappear altogether when he moved back to his hometown of Chagrin Falls. But surely he has seen the sacrilegious sticker -- it seems to be attached to every Chevy in the state.

"We've contemplated legal action," says Lee Salem, vice president and editor at Universal Press Syndicate, which distributed Calvin and Hobbes. But the cost involved in finding those who make and sell the decals would far exceed what Universal could win in damages. "Bill's as frustrated as we are."

I also don't like those Calvin pictures, especially after reading Watterson's comments in the anniversary book.

I love Calvin & Hobbes.

i love calvin and hobbes, I've always wanted to meet bill watterson.

The most obnoxious Calvin decal is the one with him kneeling in prayer in front of a cross. That one just pisses me off every time i see it.

I couldn't agree with you even more, but the sad unfortuante fact about people, is that there aren't enough of us who are willing to give up all that we've got to benefit the common good of men... therefore resulting in what history has proven time and time again. Which is, working communism is more like a fairy tale than a reality, and most likely always will be.

I too hate the calvin ripoffs. I loved the comics, but the stickers everywhere are just offensive, unless it's pissing on a Ford logo (I hate Fords). But even then it's disrespectful to Bill Waterson.

I usually see Calvin pissing on various trucks. It seems to be very popular in Ohio.

What is it with Pickup Truck owners? It's not enough to like their truck... they have to hate all OTHER trucks and have Calvin piss on them.

This is only sleightly less annoying than the testicles people put on their trucks. Have you guys seen the TruckNutz?

Just because people are Christians, doesn’t mean they get to the right to steal. Those unofficial stickers rip off Bill Watterson and pervert his creation
just as badly as the stickers with Calvin peeing. The only difference is that they are using their stolen sticker to promote a religion which tells them not to steal in the first place.

Wouldn’t it be simpler to spray paint “Hypocrite” on the tailgate?

The Calvin pissing decals are the worst. I hate them.

I was working in Key West about 10 years ago and have always been a huge fan of C&H. I walked into Paradise Tattoo and wanted a C&H tattoo. I looked but couldn't find the picture I wanted, so I decided to wait. If you are going to wear something for the rest of your life, you want it to be just right.

I got back and within weeks, started seeing the 'pissing stickers on cars and trucks. That one was a narrow miss. I wanted a tattoo that showed my admiration for C&H and for the rest of my life I would have had a tattoo of the "Pissiing boy" on my arm.
