Calvin and Hobbes
Description:Recurring elements[ edit ] Art and academia[ edit ] Watterson used the strip to poke fun at the art world, principally through Calvin's unconventional creations of snowmen but also through other expressions of childhood art. When Miss Wormwood complains that he is wasting class time drawing impossible things a Stegosaurus in a rocket ship, for example , Calvin proclaims himself "on the cutting edge of the avant-garde. His next sculpture "speaks to the horror of our own mortality, inviting the viewer to contemplate the evanescence of life. Watterson also lampooned the academic world. In one example, Calvin carefully crafts an " artist's statement ", claiming that such essays convey more messages than artworks themselves ever do Hobbes blandly notes, "You misspelled Weltanschauung ".
