Week 3: The Comic Strip

For this week I read mostly the Calvin and Hobbes comic strips by Bill Watterson. Most of the comics were in strips of four panels and a handful were a little longer. They almost looked like newspaper comics in the sense that a lot of them were in black and white and then others were done in color (Sunday comics) and a little bit longer. The comics seem to all have a "Haha" feel to it if that makes sense. Not really hysterical but not really serious either. They're just easy reads that help pass the time.

The fun thing with Calvin and Hobbes is that we mainly follow the young boy Calvin on his short 4 panel adventures with his stuffed animal tiger, Hobbes, who he imagines is real. You get to sort of just sit there and face palm whenever Calvin does something stupid like a kid would do, but it gives is a sort of cute charm because of this.
