Calvin and Hobbes is a comic that people of all ages can relate with. It is a comic that really portrays what its like to be a kid. It also has some of the greatest life lessons I have ever heard from any form of comics. Bill Watterson’s illustrations for Calvin and Hobbes are in a great cartoony style but there are some times when Calvin pretends he is a dinosaur or a he is flying a plane and the drawings go more towards realism. I enjoy this aspect mainly because it makes it funnier when a huge T-rex is sitting at the dinner table asking for dino meat. One aspect I think is brilliant with Calvin and Hobbes is when you see Hobbes through Calvin's eyes he is a real tiger but through everyone else's eyes Hobbes is a stuffed animal. This is my favorite part of this comic mainly because it shows how imaginative one kid can be. It also brings up the question is Hobbes a real tiger or not. No one ever tells Calvin that Hobbes is not real. Through his parents eyes Hobbes is a stuffed animal but to Calvin it is his best friend who he shares every adventure with. Overall Calvin and Hobbes is one of my favorite comics because of its ability to make you feel like a kid again it just makes you want to go out on an adventure and have fun. It is more than just cartoons this comic has some great writing were it talks about the state of the world, questioning your mortality, or what it is like to be a kid with an overactive imagination. Calvin and Hobbes is a comic that is so much more than a kid and his pet tiger.
