About this product
Product Information
A fascinating investigation of a beloved comic strip. The internet is home to impassioned debates on just about everything, but there's one thing that's universally beloved: Bill Watterson's comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. Until its retirement in 1995 after a ten-year run, the strip won numerous awards and drew tens of millions of readers from all around the world. The story of a boy and his best friend -- a stuffed tiger -- was a pitch-perfect distillation of the joys and horrors of childhood and a celebration of imagination in its purest form. In Let's Go Exploring , Michael Hingston mines the strip and traces the story of Calvin's reclusive creator to demonstrate how imagination -- its possibilities, its opportunities and ultimately its limitations -- helped make Calvin and Hobbes North America's last great comic strip.Product Identifiers

Reviews"Hingston's book is a wonderful read for fans and neophytes alike, giving context and history to the strip that was and is a part of many people's lives." -- The YYScene, PRAISE FOR PREVIOUS WORKS: "[Hingston] does it all with a delicious sense of humour, eviscerating his characters' extended adolescence while creating sympathy for their attempt to find a place in the world." -- Quill & Quire (starred review) "May well be the Great Canadian Comic Novel." -- Winnipeg Free Press on The Dilettantes "The dialogue is funny and spot on, and the satire alternately nips, bites, and rips your head off ... a terrific debut." -- Edmonton Journal on The Dilettantes "Depicted with toe-curling immediacy--and hilarity." -- Montreal Gazette on The Dilettantes, "This book captures the joy and excitement at first discovering Calvin and Hobbes , and the wistful sadness that it is no more." -- Patton Oswalt
