Calvin and Hobbes

Calvin and Hobbes has been my all time favorite comic. it is all about a kid who is awesomely imaginative and has a tiger toy , but think of him to be a live one.
Firstly, who is Bill Watterson -
Born: William B. Watterson II was born July 5, 1958, in Washington, D.C.
Education: BW graduated from Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, in 1980 with a degree in political science.
Family: married to Melissa, Lives with Melissa in Hudson, Ohio with all their cast.
Prizes:Watterson was nominated for the 1992 Reuben Award for
"Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year" by the National Cartoonists Society, and won the 1986 and 1988 Reuben Awards. In 1986,
he was the youngest recipient to ever win the award.

Now let me give you a brief description of the cast :

Calvin

Calvin is named for a sixteenth-century theologian who believed in predestination. Most people assume that Calvin is based based on detailed memories of Bill Watterson.

Calvin is autobigraphical in the sense that he thinks about the same issues that Watterson does,

Hobbes

Named after a seventeenth-century philosopher with a dim view of human nature, Hobbes has the patient dignity and common sense of most animals.

Calvin's parents

Calvin's parents are not given any names, because as far as the strip is concerned, they are important only as Calvin's mom and dad.

Calvin's mom is the daily disciplinarian.

Susie Derkins

Susie is earnest, serious, and smart--the kind of girl. The early strips with Susie were heavy-handed with the love-hate conflict.

Spaceman Spiff

Spaceman Spiff predates Calvin and Hobbes by over a decade.

Spiff was a diminutive loudmouth, not like Calvin, albeit with a Chaplin mustache, flying goggles, and a cigar. He had a dimwitted assistant named Fargle, and they roamed through space in a dirigible.

Calvin's Wagon

Calvin's wagon is a simple device to add some physical comedy to the strip, and I most often use it when Calvin gets longwinded or philosophical. I think the action lends a silly counterpoint to the text, and it's a lot mort interesting to draw than talking heads. Sometimes the wagon ride even acts as a visual metaphor for Calvin's topic of discussion.

Calvin rides the wagon through the woods, bouncing off rocks and flying over ravines.
