S1E13 | Comics: Calvin and Hobbes

Enter the imaginative world of alien planets, dinosaur-filled landscapes, and hoards of mutant snowmen, as we talk about a boy and his stuffed tiger. Classmate Matt joins us to flip through the inky pages, wonder at the creativity and philosophy, and examine the reclusive creator himself, Mr. Bill Watterson, who forever changed his fans and the artform itself. Let's go exploring!
