Calvin and Hobbes was a daily comic strip
written by Bill Watterson. It’s about a six year old boy and his stuffed tiger.
It ran from November 18, 1985 to December 31, 1995.
Calvin and Hobbes is set in USA. It is
about Calvin’s fantasies and his relationships with his family, his stuffed
tiger, and his classmates. Although the comic spanned ten years Calvin never
became older.
The series dealt with issues such as
education, education, and philosophy.
Bill Watterson drew Calvin and Hobbes basic
and simple. A key part of Watterson’s style is his exaggerated expressions.
Several of his comics showed Calvin and Hobbes philosophizing while sledding
down a hill or going down on a wagon (See example below). He uses various
methods of showing movement. In the first scene he draws a little outline
around the tire of the wagon. In the second scene he shows multiple images of
Calvin and Hobbes on the wagon. In the fourth scene he blurs the background to
symbolize movement.
Calvin and Hobbes is a funny, simple comic
that is still enjoyed by both children and adults.
