That isn't Calvin. Somebody modified a picture of Calvin filling a water baloon and created the meme. Calvin's creator never signed off on it and actually refused to merchandise any of his characters. Peeing calvin is a travesty

It's still Calvin. Theft doesn't make it not the original character. Also, those things are lame as fuck.

Meanwhile, I stole a Stupendous Man drawing and got it tattooed on my arm because I love the strip. It's an homage, not a stupid rant.
