The final Calvin and Hobbes comic strip, in which the title character encounters fresh snow in the woods and hop on their sled, as Calvin enthusiastically declares, “Let’s go exploring!”
Many successful comic strips continue indefinitely. But Bill Watterson’s final #CalvinAndHobbes comic strip appeared in newspapers on December 31st, 1995, concluding a 10-year run. Some fans & critics have struggled to let go. Others argue the strip’s ending is perfectly endless. 1/12 #ComicsStudies

Calvin walks past statues in an art gallery remarking, “this is supposed to be great art.”
Many “Calvin and Hobbes” strips comment on the nature of art, evoking both “high art” and the supposedly opposite “low art” of comics. These moments of self-reflexivity showcase public perceptions of comics and/as art during a time of upheaval & change in American comics. 1/12 #ComicsStudies

A Calvin and Hobbes Sunday strip in which the title characters careen through the woods on their wagon while Calvin monologues about choices and chain reactions. The strip concludes with the characters crashing in a lake after soaring over a cliff.
The writing of “Calvin and Hobbes” can be compelling & funny all on its own. But Bill Watterson’s skillful cartooning brings the comic to life. These talents are on full display in this classic Sunday strip featuring Calvin and Hobbes careening through the woods on their wagon. 1/12 #ComicsStudies

Maybe there will be another (second) book on the Yellow Kid comic figure of the late nineteenth century. Let’s wait and see. I’m just very happy and relieved and exhausted right now (and a little proud, too). #ComicsStudies
