Hola, soy de Chile, donde el clima se manda solo, las gaviotas son un premio, los perros venden gas, los patos venden créditos, los pacos se defienden con animales, los pinguinos pelean con guanacos y zorrillos, los superhéroes lavan la loza, llueve en pleno verano, donde un sismo grado 7 Richter se llama "réplica", donde Facebook y Twitter están más actualizados que la Onemi, el presidente del colegio de profesores no enseña, el de la CUT no trabaja, la vocera de los estudiantes no estudia y los chilenos de clase alta ganan sueldos "reguleques"...

I thinks folks expressing incredulity at the quality of the writing and composition in Calvin and Hobbes are often missing the context that Bill Watterson is arguably the most influential sequential artist of his generation. Like, this is a guy who once told the editors of nationally syndicated newspapers to go fuck themselves when they wanted to mess with his panel layouts, and not only did he keep his job, he got his way. He could have had literally any gig he wanted, and he chose to be the Sunday funnies guy because that's what made him happy. He's basically the Weird Al of sequential art.

Watterson considers comics to be as true an art form as painting and films and literature, capable of reaching just as high as any other medium. Calvin and Hobbes isn't accidentally high art. Watterson made it what it is on purpose. And when he was done, he stopped. No movie, no spinoff, no reboot. He considers the comic to be its completed form, in exactly the medium it is supposed to be. He believed in comics in a way few others ever have, and he fought tooth and nail for the right to take his own work, jokes and all, seriously.
