    Here’s an article about it. Apparently it was June 4th, 5th, & 6th of 2014. I thought Watterson did the whole strip, but according to the article, he only did the middle panel. Still, pretty impressive that he would volunteer to do it!

      Thanks! Berkeley Breathed did a Bloom County series during COVID where Opus and co. work to reunite Hobbes with Calvin. I think it was only done with Watterson’s permission, but it looks really close to his art.

          Have you ever seen the one-off cartoon that Watterson drew for the cartoon documentary Stripped?

      And it looks like June 7th was Pastis doing a tribute to the last Calvin & Hobbes strip.

      (I found all 4 strips on GoComics with a Google search for the dates.)
