Calvin and Hobbs
A Critique
These books were a godsend for a lonely, only child. I can’t think of a character I connected with more as a child. A precocious only child, check. His main company is his stuffed animal, check. Spends most of his day lost in his imagination, check. Thank you Bill Watterson.

X-Men: The Animated Series
Let’s be honest, X-Men: The Animated Series made the Marvel Cinematic Universe what it is. If this show didn’t exist, they’re would have been far less hype over the X-Men movie in 2000. This show was amazing from the theme song, to every plot line. We love and miss it.

Winnie the Pooh
I have shared four children's books written by A.A. Milne and his very best friend. He wrote all these stories for his son Christopher Robin. Winnie the Pooh is also known as Edward Bear or as Christopher Robin sometimes called him Silly Old Bear. There are some friendships real and imaginary that last a lifetime and this friendship is one of them.

Blood Brothers
Nora Roberts's has written a family/romance/thriller novel entitled 'Blood Brothers' the first part of the 'Sign of Seven Trilogy'. The main characters are three boys by the names of Cal, Gage, and Fox who when they were 10 years of age well the night before all three turned 10, they made a pilgrimage to the Pagan Stone in their small town of Hawkins Hollow that is the center when in every seven years of the seventh month for seven days weird happenings occur. Nora Robert's in this part is a very show and tell writer and one needs to read it to really understand and know the fear that these three boys now men have been living.

Amen - we owe Mr. W a lot! Enjoyed this - thanks for sharing 🧡
I still read those comics till this very day. Calvin and Hobbes opened up entire worlds for me; new trains of thought, diverse vocabulary, introspection, and above all different levels of imagination and how those ideas can make one feel.
Love C+H

Could not agree more! Did you know they are being rereleased this year as horizontal chapbooks?!
I love Calvin & Hobbes! Well done.
I never got deep into Calvin and Hobbs but certainly liked looking at the comic strips.
My daughter LOVES Calvin and Hobbes for many of the same reasons. She tests out Calvin’s mischief on us. 🤣
I was a fan right from the beginning. Thanks for this!
