Revised on Peanuts with an establishing review on Calvin and Hobbes

Each character is bigger than life with their individual personalities, that spark great humor. These two pieces have so much charm that they continue to live on and on. What I think is so great about these characters are their childhood thinking is justified but are also relatable to older audiences with the cynicism on life and relationships, it's actually quite endearing. The punchline to the comics are always heartwarming with it's humor, and the characters progress with simplicity. A big difference in these pieces is that Hobbes, as much as he feels real, is imaginary, and him and Calvin go on many adventures together. Even though they use similar humor and setups, they way it's told is different. What I think is most fascinating is how neither of these scripts are visually simple, yet they are defined and different from one another in a way that they become iconic for their simplicity.
