Calvin and Hobbes by Bill WattersonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Hooter: a series of comic panels starring a young kid Calvin and his stuffed toy tiger which is alive and kicking as per him.
Bill Watterson reminds me of RK Laxman common man. Leveraging a young brat protagonist to portray share his witty observations and social commentary on the way of life from an unconstrained perspective. He's battling monsters under in his bed one moment and contemplating live after death in the next. A woke adult would not provide the same sharp insights as Calvin and his stuffed toy coming to life Hobbes can.. the book is a collection from a lot of his syndicated work so provides a wide range of 3 -4 panel stories bunched together - kinda like paani puri. You don't know when one tingling sensation starts and love ends and that blows your mind. This is a must read and mood lightener in this current #lockdown environment along with it being on the all time recommendation list.
