In the world that Calvin and his tiger Hobbes share, treasures can
be found in the most unlikely places, from the outer regions where
Spaceman spiff travels to the rocks in the backyard--this curious
duo roams their world in search of fortunes (and misfortunes ) to
be experienced. Whether "Calvin and Hobbes" are blasting off on
another interplanetary adventure or approaching warp speed on a
downhill wagon ride, their capers are repartee consistently charm
and refresh their readers' days. On his own, Calvin is prey to the
insidious killer bicycle, is the arbiter of the dad poll, is the
creator of a legion of snowmen who provide an incisive social
commentary, and Hobbes is always there as the perfect companion.
Watterson's talent is evidenced by the range of thought provoking
emotions the strip encompasses in addition to the laughs it
induces: the loyalty and friendship between "Calvin and Hobbes,"
the challenge of being a patient parents, and the sardonic
viewpoint of a cynical six-year-old ("I'm a 21st-century kid
trapped in a 19th-century family," laments Calvin) combine to make
this one of the best-loved strips in cartoon history.
