And don't forget "well-drawn," something missing in most comics today. Most of today's comic "artists" slap together panels that look like they were drawn by a chimpanzee.
I wonder what Bill Waterson is up to these days...
I think the US could use another jolt of Calvin.
Hard to pull off the detail these days with the cost of printing and smaller panels...
But I loved this cartoon in it's time.
My family is 8 generations West Virginia folk
and to us it was a scream,
too bad people have such a hard time
laughing at themselves these days...
