A cartoonist extraordinaire combines fantastic imagination, timeless wisdom, simple ink and paper to make pages come alive with an anything but ordinary comic strip. What a partnership, what a wildly wonderful twosome consisting of a precocious puddin-head little boy and a loyal, constant companion & stuffed animal in the form of a tiger? Calvin & Hobbes is the brainchild, of one, Bill Watterson who spotlights imaginary friends and makes them come alive with an unbridled exuberance that only the young and young at heart can appreciate.
In the thick comic book of brilliance that makes for "Something Under The Bed is Drooling- A Calvin and Hobbes Collection by Bill Watterson-- Calvin is shown crying seemingly uncontrollably after finding out the little rescue raccoon died; Moans...Whahh!! he cries, Whahh!!! "The raccoon died!" His father tries to console him, saying; "He died warm and safe." Calvin sobs, Sniff. "I know out there he's gone, but he's not gone inside me."
All I can say is: I feel your pain little guy. Good thing you got Hobbes... sniff.
