I've read, many times (it's a very short read), M. Watterson's (and his friend's John Kascht) latest work, "The Mysteries", and I very much like it. It's a multifaceted fable that explores, among other things, the tension between curiosity and control, and the allure and danger of technological progress. "The Mysteries" takes a more somber and philosophical approach, and its graphical style is radically different from C&H's, but I think it still shares with C&H a deep appreciation for the mysteries of life and the power of imagination to enrich our understanding of the world.

#7Fishing the comics section out of the Sunday paper to read a big Calvin and Hobbes strip was a joy. At the peak of the era, our paper (The Washington Post) actually had two separate comics sections, one with C&H on the front and the other with Peanuts. There was also Doonesbury and Bloom County, many other lesser strips, and even magazines like Parade and Potomac, all of which together provided a full morning’s entertainment.

#8I was introduced to Calvin and Hobbes (as well as Sam and Max) as a kid by a taxi driver when on holiday in Florida in the 90s. Loved both. It’s been a delight to re read them with my son recently. I somewhat lament it’s not possible to by any merchandise though! I’d love to have a big print of the pair in their radio flyer crashing down the hill!

#9Since influential people are on this forum, someone should get Bill Watterson nominated for the Nobel prize in literature. His work deserves that honor as much as, if not more than, Bob Dylan.

Berkeley Breathed could feel left out - and one of his collections was named "Classics of Western Literature".
