Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Of American newspaper comic strips, few great ones have been so short-lived, and yet so enduring in the public, than "Calvin and Hobbes" by Bill Watterson. This film explores the strip, its special artistic qualities and its extraordinary lasting appeal decades after its conclusion. Furthermore, the film explores the impact of Bill Watterson, a cartoonist with high artistic ideals and firm principles who defied the business conventions of a declining medium. Although he forwent a merchandising fortune for his strip, various associates and colleagues speak about how Watterson created a legacy that would be an inspiration for years to come.

| Quotes |
Seth Green:
"Calvin and Hobbes" is such a subversive comic. But it has a purity to it that most comics don't, because it is so joyful and very much in the imagination of this kid, and yet he is hyperaware of world events and pop culture and ironies and social concepts, and I just found that really, really exciting.
