Show & Tell: It's A Magical World


For Show & Tell this week, I pulled out the only comic books I've ever read; Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson. I love how one whole page can tell a story with only a few sentences in the last frame.

For those for don't know what I am talking about, Calvin is a little boy with a stuffed toy tiger. Hobbes comes alive but only Calvin can see, everyone else sees a stuffed toy. Think imaginary friend.

Each strip is a day in the life of Calvin & Hobbes, and the wonderful adventures they take. Comic are narratives too... right?
