It's a Magical World

I just love Calvin and Hobbes... and by reading through this book, I realized that my youngest son is totally Calvin... he just needs the red shirt and shoes! And a stuffed Tiger... :)

A magical world of boundless imagination and humor that offers reflections on the wonders of everyday life.

Ya know, Bill Watterson could be very pedantic and heavy-handed with his moralizing. Woof. Some of those panels, eh.

But such is the way with geniuses! And the clarity and craftsmanship and purity of his art/vision is really remarkable. I read this now, after reading it in childhood, and found myself LOLing at maybe 50% of the strips. I was compelled to take pictures and send them to my loved ones. LOOK. LOOK AT HOW FUNNY AND TRUE THIS IS. I wish we all had a Hobbes! I also wish I had the fluid perfection of Watterson's pen. extreme artistic jealousy
