Let's Go Exploring: Calvin and Hobbes

A very enjoyable retrospective on Calvin and Hobbes and the man behind the panels. In addition to the thorough yet very approachable analysis of various aspects of the strip, I especially enjoyed learning more about Mr. Watterson's post-C&H time, and the wide range of tributes to him and the strip that have continued to appear. The author came across as being thorough and compassionate in the telling of Watterson's dealings with the syndicate and the reading public; one truly feels for the artist in the end, and that helps to lessen the pain of having no more new Calvin and Hobbes material, and ultimately serves to increase the appreciation of what we do have.
