Bill Waterson's comic strips are unique in that the coloured strips are
done with watercolour. He brings more culture to the scenes and gives
comics more appreciation as an art form.

Welcome to the world of Calvin and Hobbes. Calvin is an extremely
imaginative young boy who has a stuffed tiger named Hobbes. Now you
might note that in the pictures Hobbes doesn't really look like a
stuffed tiger -he looks like he's alive. For Calvin he is. They hang out
together, plot traps together, go on trips to outerspace together. After
awhile of reading the comics you'll think Hobbes is alive too.

Although Calvin is adventurous and at times too imaginative, Bill
Waterson always maintains an even amount of reality and day dreams.
Sometimes Calvin is "Spaceman Spiff" fighting intergalactic bugs. Other
times he's with his family around a fire or in the forest thinking about
life. He suits all.
