This article in Slate, Calvin and Hobbes: The last great newspaper comic strip. By Chris Suellentrop points out that it is 10 years since Bill Watterson stopped cartooning and C & H stopped running in the papers. The article is short but don’t miss the linked slideshow: The Appeal of Calvin and Hobbes.
The text in the slideshow discusses Charles' Schulz's influence upon Watterson's work and uses C & H strips to illustrate. Well worth the time especially since you aren't going anywhere soon.
Hey, pretty neat. Thanks for that link. I think I first spotted C&H in the European Stars and Stripes in the late 80s. Got hooked immediately on it.
