Calvin and Hobbes Week 3

The comic strip I’ve had the most interest in was “Calvin and Hobbes” mainly because I remember seeing it the most when I was young even though I’ve never read it before. Upon reading it in the recent years I’ve discovered how entertaining it was and I think it stems from the fact that it tells us a very short story with a message to the audience very well. It also had memorable characters from the character designs with how Calvin is so short and naïve and Hobbes is stretched out and mature.

It creates a nice duo for us comic viewers to entertain. Besides the characters themselves, the story is what really drew me into liking Calvin and Hobbes from the other comic strips. It always has some kind of witty or sarcastic humorous tone to it that makes it feel so fun to read. And it wasn’t simple slapstick humor; it usually had some deep meaning behind what the characters are superficially doing.  I’ve read other comics such as Krazy Kat and I didn’t find that one to be as appealing because I couldn’t understand it as well as “Calvin and Hobbes” and it had less appealing drawings, although that’s my personal opinion.
