(3,057 posts)I thought Bill Watterson stopped doing the strip years ago. In fact, I think I still have his "final" strip. I just moved into Vegas after having lived "rural" for the last 21 years and couldn't get the paper delivered. Have to check with the Review Journal. This alone is worth the cost of the subscription.
Thanks so much!!

(37,162 posts)A lot of strips live on in rerun form. The Boondocks, For Better Or For Worse, even Doonesbury on weekdays (only the Sunday strips are new ones).

(3,057 posts)Was hoping he found retirement boring and decided to bring the boys back from their adventures. But even the reruns are worth the price of a subscription!

(37,162 posts)...although most of that was figuring out the right search terms to get the one(s, plural) you're thinking of. Quite a few other people have made attempts, including attempts to continue these ones.
They appeared in an online comic strip by Dan and Tom Heyerman called Pants are Overrated in 2011. Between May and October 2011, four of the Pants are Overrated strips were tributes to Calvin and Hobbes taking place about 26 years after the end of the original. Calvin is in his early 30s, he's married Suzy Derkins, and they have a little girl named Bacon who's about the same age they were in the original.
The original site no longer has the content, though a posting from February says it's under construction to get it back up and running.
In the meantime I've saved copies to the Imgur account I use for when I want to post an image that I can't directly link to.
So here they are, with a bonus treat: Guess who was nightmare fodder in 2011!:
