The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes: A Calvin and Hobbes Treasury
by Bill Watterson
When I was a kid I would always skim over the parts where Calvin imagines himself transformed as a dinosaur or spaceship pilot, now I find them to be super enjoyable. I find myself disliking his dad more and more, he just doesn't take the time to even try to understand Calvin. At least his mother tries, after all she did make his costume for Stupendous Man, even if she makes him take it off for dinner.
I think distancing us from adults is what Mr. Watterson is trying to do. We see Dad being a typical stuck in his own head adult vs. Calvin and his imagination. We are shown that we have to make an effort with either path we choose, but there is a chance to become either. I think I like this strip more than I ever have before.
