Calvin and Hobbes:- Calvin and Hobbes is a popular comic TV show by American cartoonist Bill Watterson that was run from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly tagged to as “the last great newspaper comic”, Calvin and Hobbes’s comic series has evinced broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic interest.
Hobbes was named after a seventeenth-century philosopher with a dim view of human nature. He has the patient dignity and common sense of most animals. Hobbes is more about the subjective nature of reality than about dolls coming to life.
Calvin was named after a sixteenth-century theologian who believed in predestination. Many of Calvin’s struggles are metaphors of Bill Watterson who believed that most of us get old without growing up, and that inside every adult (sometimes not very far inside) is a bratty kid who wants everything his own way.
