If so, here are some literary references you can pick up on a Calvin and Hobbes reread. Maybe, like me, you’ve read hundreds (or thousands!) of books and generally soaked up a lot of culture in the time since you last visited our spiky-haired boy and his tiger friend. That quality encourages intergenerational sharing. Perhaps the best works created for children are the ones rife with layers discoverable later in life. Namely, the comic’s depth of references - artistic, political, philosophical, and, yes, literary. But my eyes, now bespectacled and beginning to crease with wrinkles, can detect more than they could back when they were in mint condition.
Indeed, what I loved about the comic as a kid - both the gruesome snowmen and the pure love of a stuffed animal - has remained delightful. While some beacons of childhood nostalgia are better left as memories, I suspected Calvin & Hobbes might warrant a revisit.
