Yeah, there was a direct Godzilla reference in one Calvin and Hobbes where you see a bustling city, unknowing of the terror that awaits them. The "city" was a sand castle made in his sandbox. The next frame shows him growling stomping on the buildings and cars. The final frame has him looking at you and he simply says "Godzilla"

I'll try to find a link...

Jhonen Vasquez is a Godzilla fan also! He has made several Godzilla references in his comic work. And let's not forget the episode "Hamstergeddon" from his series Invader ZIM!

I have one of the 12'' ones. I never realized it was desired collectable till I read this thread. However, I repainted it. :(
So I prolly ruined it.

Red Foxx not only was a fan of Godzilla... but "Gork" was mentioned frequently, as well... :?

Lamont an he were talking about Fred's hearing... or the busted sound on the T.V. or something once. Lamont said something like. "You won't be able to hear Godzilla whisper sweet nothings into Gork's ear."

From wikipedia.org

In 1993, Spielberg decided to once again tackle the adventure genre, as he directed the movie version of Michael Crichton's novel Jurassic Park, about killer dinosaurs rampaging through a tropical island resort. The adaptation muted somewhat the novel's message about the consequences of mankind tampering with nature, instead focusing on the adventure aspects of the story. With the aid of revolutionary special effects provided by friend George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic, the film would eventually become one of the top ten highest grossing films of all time (domestically), alongside his earlier E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Spielberg has stated in interviews at the time that the Japanese Godzilla movies (which Spielberg is a big fan of) provided inspiration for Jurassic Park.
