Calvin and Hobbes Has French Origins
New article I wrote for MadAtoms:
“Many Americans (myself included) have never heard of Le Petit Nicolas, but perhaps the famous French children’s book character (now celebrating its 50th anniversary) should be known as the origin of Calvin from Bill Watterson’s beloved comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. The similarities between the characters are too numerous to ignore.”
