Calvin & Hobbes

Calvin & Hobbes
Calvin, Hobbes and the peace of life

This is my favorite comic ever. Authored by the genius of Bill Waterson, Calvin & Hobbes was syndicated for a decade to newspapers worldwide. As it’s often the case for bright minds, Mr. Waterson is not without his mysteries and the strength of his beliefs. For instance, he has never authorized any merchandise based on the characters and settings of Calvin & Hobbes, feeling that such commercial overexposure would downgrade the essence of the story and its characters. He also believes that there is no “high art” or “low art”, just art. Anyway, I love his work. I’m very fond of stories which, albeit seemingly targeted at younger audiences, have a deep philosophical and critical background (e.g., Phineas and Ferb). Summarizing, Calvin & Hobbes is an artistic masterpiece. Don’t miss it.

I’d also love a big sunny field, Hobbes 🙂

  1. Amigo Alejandro:

    Soy yo el agradecido por tus amables comentarios. Muchos de los cantantes que citas también me gustan a mí. Me ha emocionado eso que me has dicho de que ‘España es un sentimiento’. A mí me gustaría visitar Venezuela, y América en general. He seguido a una bloguera venezolana muy famosa, Martha Colmenares, y desde España se tienen diversas percepciones de Venezuela.

    Pero otro día hablamos de política, que hoy tu post va de Calvin y Hobbes.

    Creo que son geniales, realmente. Una obra maestra, como dices. No sólo por los dibujos, muy bien hechos, sino sobre todo por los diálogos, auténticas joyitas de ingenio. Es encomiable que Waterson no haya querido comercializar su creación. Eso lo desconocía. Ahora, además de música, aprendo de cómic en tu blog.

    Saludos y hasta pronto
