I lurve cartoons ~ in video & print form. I think there is nothing wrong with indulging our inner child by entertaining her with fun ... um... entertainment. Ya, that's it. {It's early & I'm getting ready for work, so don't bug me}
Of all the cartoons/comics in all the land, Calvin & Hobbes is my all-time fav.
There are so many, many things to lurve about Calvin.
- His absolute conviction & immersion into his fantasies.
- His complete deviousness.
- His incredible imagination.
- His loyalty & unshakable friendship with Hobbes.
- His damn cuteness! His hair! His eyes!
- His on-going feud with Susie.
- The pranks he plays on his parents.
I've often wondered about Hobbes. Is it all in Calvin's imagination, or does Hobbes really come to life when no-one else is around like Ema in Mannequin? I like to think that he does. Wouldn't it be fabulous if Calvin had managed to get himself a magical tiger?
One of my prized possessions is a 4x6 foot painting my college roommate made of Calvin for my birthday. {photo to follow ~ or I'll be late for work again!}
I never thought I'd find this pic of Calvin, but there it was in my daily cartoon a couple weeks ago...
Obviously a Canadian toon, as completely new to me...

American, I think. It's been around for... oh gosh, years! Since the mid 80s. It was syndicated daily in newspapers across North America.
ReplyDeleteI think you'd like it!

Oh, Calvin is so cool!! I love rading his strips. I agree with you about his quirks. I also posted about my Favourite Comics at my blog! We do have to keep our inner child pleased, I think!

A breath of fresh air!
ReplyDeleteMy post is late, but it's up now.
I'm not familiar with Calvin & Hobbes, but I love cartoons. My all time favorite is Tweety Bird. BJ
