Display your love for Bill Watterson’s iconic comic strip with these Calvin and Hobbes art pieces.
Though the comic ran from 1985–1995 (the year after I was born), I grew up reading (and rereading) Watterson’s many published treasuries: Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons, Scientific Progress Goes “Boink,” Something Under the Bed Is Drooling, etc. And while I’ve outgrown a lot of things from my childhood, these comics are not one of them. If anything, me and my friends agree that Bill Watterson’s comic only gets better with age. So go ahead, buy some of this Calvin and Hobbes art for your college dorm, your living room, your office, or heck, your kid’s nursery—you gotta start them young!
