In Brightest Day: Calvin

For me, Sunday newspaper comic strips began with Calvin and Hobbes. While I hold a special fondness for Charlie Brown and crew, the story of the lovable yet distracted six-year-old Calvin grabbed me at a young age.

Even at four, I noticed a certain advanced intelligence that was not in some of the other Sunday comics my grandmother would save for me. Now, on the evening of her funeral, I am compelled to focus on the character that she once said I reminded her so much of. I hope I can do the topic justice.
