Imagination and Meaning in Calvin and Hobbes

A single-issue critical study from McFarland & Co., Imagination and Meaning in Calvin and Hobbes (2012) examines the thematic depth and creative legacy of Bill Watterson's beloved strip. This scholarly work explores how the series uses childhood fantasy to address complex questions about reality, morality, and the nature of art itself. It matters as a thoughtful, standalone analysis that treats a newspaper comic with the serious literary and philosophical attention it deserves.
