Recommended by Jacob Barandes, Lecturer and Co-director of Graduate Studies, Department of Physics

Over the 10-year run of Calvin & Hobbes, Bill Watterson showed that a comic strip could be more than merely funny — it could be art. The story of the strip centers on Calvin, an imaginative, irreverent 6-year-old boy whose best friend is his stuffed tiger, Hobbes. Together they survive camping trips, contend with bullies, endure endless homework assignments, build awesome snow sculptures, construct transmogrifiers and time machines, travel to Mars, and ponder some of life’s deepest philosophical questions as they careen down treacherous hills on sleds and wagons.
