I thinks folks expressing incredulity at the quality of the writing and composition in Calvin and Hobbes are often missing the context that Bill Watterson is arguably the most influential sequential artist of his generation. Like, this is a guy who once told the editors of nationally syndicated newspapers to go fuck themselves when they wanted to mess with his panel layouts, and not only did he keep his job, he got his way. He could have had literally any gig he wanted, and he chose to be the Sunday funnies guy because that's what made him happy. He's basically the Weird Al of sequential art.

The Sunrise and The Sunset

(Basically an orange and blue duo)

It was a lot of rush drawing this because it's almost close to February but since it's already hit 12, well that's it. So I just draw calmly until I finish.

All of the characters are my first time drawing it and for my opinion, I'm proud of it but also not..

My brother and I would do this to each other when we were growing up, though I don't recall it resulting in physical violence.

Calvin and Hobbes was magic--and sometimes a little creepy--when it embraced surrealism. And this was in the funny papers alongside goofiness like Garfield and The Family Circus.

I think Louie's the only one who wouldn't be excited about the school experience.
