Let's Go Exploring: Calvin and Hobbes

The internet is home to impassioned debates on just about everything, but there''s one thing that''s universally beloved: Bill Watterson''s comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. Until its retirement in 1995 after a ten-year run, the strip won numerous awards and drew tens of millions of readers from all around the world. The story of a boy and his best friend - a stuffed tiger - was a pitch-perfect distillation of the joys and horrors of childhood, and a celebration of imagination in its purest form. In Let''s Go Exploring, Michael Hingston mines the strip and traces the story of Calvin''s reclusive creator to demonstrate how imagination - its possibilities, its opportunities, and ultimately its limitations - helped make Calvin and Hobbes North America''s last great comic strip.
