Sep. 7 "Calvin and Hobbes" by Bill Waterson

    Reading Calvin and Hobbes again I remembered why I liked this comic series so much and it gave me a whole new perspective on why it is so lovable. The whole idea of it is centered around this young 6-year old's crazy imagination and what it is like to be a child. Calvin and Hobbes remind me of how important it is to remember that there will always be and forever be a little bit of childlike wonder in all of us. That one point is the main thing that makes me feel sad and disappointed when so many people forget what it is like to be curious, creative, and think outside the box. For me, that is what made the comic so memorable. Many scenes where he pretends to be Spaceman Spiff or try's to journey amongst the dinos in the past, the images become so vivid in detail that his imagination completely steers away from what Calvin's life actually looks like, it is his own little world. The comic is something that is not seemingly forced into being commerce. It does not mainly focus on politics but leaves very little to where adults and children can enjoy the comic equally. Calvin and Hobbes is something both young and old audiences can enjoy! The bright, cheerful colors also are very relative to the usual happy, wondrous, curious life of Calvin and just really makes people like me happy as it resonates with me personally when I was a child and even today as an adult.
