I spend a certain amount of time each week reviewing what links have led people to the Drunken Pumpkin. It’s always useful to know what types of material people are looking for as well as seeing where and when people are posting links to our site in various forums. Over the past week or two we’ve had a noticeable number of people searching Google for Calvin and Hobbes pumpkins and arriving at our site. We have had no Calvin and Hobbes pumpkins on our site, but have made various other references to Calvin and Hobbes over the past year or two and when including the word ‘pumpkin’, it’s kind of certain that they would check our site when it comes up in the search results.
In the interests of providing the people what they want, I went ahead and tried my hand at pumpkin sculpting. It doesn’t include Hobbes, but hey, what do you want from me? It’s free for you and was my first attempt. May try to get a pumpkin done with both Calvin and Hobbes on it before long. Included are both day and night shots so you can see it in all it’s glory.

That’s pretty snazzy.
I hope you don’t have that on your front porch. Maybe locked up somewhere would be better.

Nope, gave it a nice safe place on top of the compost heap - the thing molded within four days of carving it. Luckily the pictures turned out pretty well, making it all worthwhile.
