As someone who adores Calvin and Hobbes and now makes comics myself, I can't believe I never considered studying Wattersons work for inspiration and techniques. Thank you for talking so in depth about them! I've always understood using gutters to show the passage for time, but using them as transitions into things like imagination is something I never thought of before
@@TheComicsCube it's on comic fury! It's called Writer's Guild, but I can assure you it's pretty dorky and amateur 😂 (doesn't mean I don't love it though lol)
Hobbes is both the stuffed animal and the real tiger at the same time. Calvin sees the world one way, and other people see it another. We, as the reader, are shown both views on the world, often back-to-back within a short timespan, and Watterson respected us enough to trust we'd follow along.
