Has the world of comics felt a little less magical since December 31, 1995? The answer, for countless fans of wit, philosophical musings, and the boundless imagination of childhood, is a resounding yes, because that was the day Bill Watterson's 'Calvin and Hobbes' graced the newspaper pages for the last time.
For those uninitiated, or perhaps too young to remember, 'Calvin and Hobbes' wasn't just another comic strip; it was a cultural phenomenon. It captured the hearts and minds of readers of all ages with its unique blend of humor, intelligence, and heartfelt exploration of life's big questions through the eyes of a precocious six-year-old and his sardonic tiger companion. And now, after a near three-decade hiatus from major published work, Bill Watterson is poised to return, much to the delight of his legions of devoted followers.
