Often times the Calvin and Hobbes strip had a sarcastic edge or left you soured on humanity. Having said that, Watterson did flex his muscle occasionally, especially when he would let us enter Calvin's dreamworld. But who cares? You don't read either of these comics for the artwork. Watterson had a steadier hand, better technique.
Some pages were just bridges, and that's okay, because as a whole that series of strips gained a certain gravitas that created more of a solidified "book", which these comics collections often lack.Įarlier I said that I didn't think Watterson was necessarily better than Larson, but I'd have to hand it to Watterson over Larson when it comes to drawing. This meant that not every page was hilarious or even had a point to make. Some probably intentionally deflected any self recognition in Watterson's work, because what you saw wasn't always pleasant.Īs a book, The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes allowed Watterson to carry a topic from one strip to the next without preamble. If you were the least bit reflective, you could see yourself in Calvin. Watterson took a subtle approach to pointing out people's foibles. These strips weren't about hitting you over the head with gags. I'm saying I felt like I was taking college classes, and I was loving it! I'm not saying one was better than the other.
