John Calvin and Thomas Hobbes, by Nina Matsumoto

Nina Matsumoto (aka Space Coyote), who became a bit of a sensation last year with The Simpsonzu, has turned her attention to Bill Watterson’s well-loved Calvin & Hobbes:

Few historians know of the heartwarming friendship between French Reformation theologian John Calvin and English political philosopher Thomas Hobbes, the latter of whom may or may not have been real, considering he was not even born yet.

Sure, she drew it several months ago, but I wasn’t aware of it until Neatorama linked to the illustration this morning. Hey, something like this is timeless.

    Love it. Our church will soon be celebrating John Calvin’s 500th birthday. May I put it up on the bulletin board?
