Calvin and Hobbes Re-imagined


"Calvin and Hobbes" is, without question, one of the great comic strips of our age. Written and drawn from 1985 to 1995 by Bill Watterson, the strip captured the magic of childhood with irony, humor, and more than a little magic of its own. Now, thanks to the theme sketchbook of David Paggi, we can see the dynamic duo of everyone's favorite little boy and tiger as seen through the eyes of comics artists ranging from Farel Dalrymple ("Omega the Unknown") to Jim Woodring ("Frank").

Loved the strip, hated the guy who did it.

Hated the guy who did it?! Seriously? Bill Watterson was a smart, funny, and principled comic creator and an immeasurable influence on every cartoon artist that has held a pencil since.
