Calvin at Camp

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Calvin at Camp is a crossover series by author Blue Paratroopa, featuring the characters from Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, FoxTrot, and Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy all going to a daycamp (located on a local college campus) together. During his many misadventures, Calvin ends up opening up a warp portal to the Mushroom Kingdom through some "Choose Your Own Adventure" Super Mario Bros. books. He quickly makes an enemy of Bowser Koopa, who is soon bent on destroying the camp, after the kids somehow manage to defeat him. After each defeat, his grudge grows a little bit bigger.

There is a slight "blasphemy" in the series, which is that a few other characters can "see" Hobbes as a real tiger: Jason, Marcus, Ed, Eddy, Double D, and Snoopy. This was done to make the stories flow a little bit more easily. Most of the characters make sense as to why they can see Hobbes, though Double D and Eddy require some Willing Suspension of Disbelief.

The series sends the characters on original adventures and also parodies various Disney films from time to time. So far, there are nearly forty "episodes." These all range in quality, and a few of them the author views as being less than fantastic.
