Calvin and Hobbs

I chose to read the first calvin and hobbs book, being that I own the book their is something under the bed and it's drooling (which I personally always thought Calvin just wet the bed). It's been a long time since i've read a calvin and hobs comic and I was excited to take another look at it. I forgot how funny and straight to the point he is in most strips. In 5 short frames he can basically tell you almost everything he needs to say. I love that most of the strips are so short and sweet. This comic is funny and entertaining for lots of reasons. Mainly I like that they mix some politics in there in a really childish way, and calvin is always spot on with his remarks. Growing up when I did read comics it was Calvin and Hobbs and the Peanuts. Maybe I was so interested in the Peanuts because they were everywhere in Minnesota especially after Charles died. Anyways, back to Calvin and Hobbs. It's a super witty comic that really brings in the modern family, and how kids can be. I like that they show Calvin as being an intelligent person that is not so good in school because of his lack of intrest. But that he makes life so entertaining to himself by turning adults and people that he is not so interested in, into monsters. When I took a look at this book I instantly asked myself where hobbs came in, I was thinking that he was Calvins imaginary friend, and then I saw Hobbs drawn as the stuffed tiger and went "OHHhh YEAH! That's right" It's funny how you remember things. I got a good kick out of reading this book, some good chuckles, and a nice walk down memory lane. The whole time comparing my thoughts of Calvin and Hobbs and reading it now, to what I thought about it when I was younger, and I keep trying to remember if I really caught on to what he was getting at. I definitely now understand it completely.
