As stupid as it may sound, ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2353327/1/Calvin-and-Hobbes-Get-XTREME Calvin and Hobbes Get XTREME!]]'' by {{Creator/garfieldodie}} revolves around Calvin and Hobbes being placed in a series of scenarios wherein they must endure several physical challenges. This is the only thing these stories have in common.

Despite its rather bare-bones gimmick, it's still worth a read for its funny moments.
