Looking for Calvin and Hobbes: The Unconventional Story of Bill Watterson and His Revolutionary Comic Strip by Nevin Martell

2.0

It was interesting background information on the comic strip and the personality behind it, but the writing was not that great, to the point where it distracted me. I think the main dissonance was that the writer appears to be a magazine writer foremost, and I don't pick up a book to read magazine-writing. Also, I didn't think his references or style were useful to the subject at hand and were instead there to showcase how much he knew/how cool he was as a culture writer. Again, that's not what I pick up a book for and I had to skim to get the info I wanted. However,there isn't really anywhere else to go for the trajectory of Calvin and Hobbes all in one book.
