Star Wars: The Force Awakens meets Calvin and Hobbes in these adorable sketches

Please can we make the adventures of Spaceman Finn a reality?

Darth Vader and Kylo Ren rendered in the style of Calvin and Hobbes (Brian Kesinger)

Ever since the film's release (and fair while before then), the internet's been awash with Star Wars: The Force Awakens mash-ups and memes. Some have been hilarious, some a little try-hard. We may now have found which are certainly the most endearing.

Brian Kesinger is an illustrator, animator, and author who has worked for the Walt Disney Studios for over 16 years; having contributed to the likes of Wreck-It Ralph, Tangled, and Tarzan. He's also provided the art for Marvel's recent Groot series of comic books.

Active on Instagram, he uses the space to post his own takes and mash-ups of Disney property; as well as work relating to his popular characters Victoria and Otto, an unlikely pairing between young lady and octopus companion. A clear fan of Star Wars, a good portion of his recent work on the site has related to the franchise; including a recent series in which he's rendered images of its characters in the style of beloved comic strip Calvin and Hobbes.

They're only a small part of the host of Star Wars mash-ups Kesinger's been posting recently. Here are Finn and BB-8 in the style of Cartoon Network's Adventure Time.

Kesinger even gave his own spin on the popular Twitter account, Emo Kylo Ren.
