This week I drew a comic about a
kid talking to his stuffed animal and believing it is real. The inspiration for
this comic was inspired after reading of a couple of Calvin and Hobbes comics. Calvin and Hobbes, by Bill Watterson, are
hilarious and very sophisticated, with something that almost everyone can
relate to. The character of Calvin is a
clever and witty child that loves to go on make believe adventure with his
stuffed animal tiger named Hobbes. I think that the exaggerated expressions and
gestures of the characters really add to the story telling.
Calvin sees Hobbes as a real tiger
that converses back and for to him, but his parents just see Hobbes as a
stuffed animal. I figure that Calvin talking to his stuffed tiger is
representing his wild child imagination and not the fact that he might have
schizophrenia, which would be rather dark for comic targeted toward people of
all ages. I enjoyed reading about the
adventures of Calvin and Hobbes and found them to be very inspirational.
