Ep023: E.T. + Imaginary friends + Empathy

This book is the first collection of the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip, which was published starting from November 18, 1985. It introduces readers to Calvin, a imaginative and energetic six-year-old boy, and his best friend Hobbes, who is either a real tiger or a stuffed toy depending on the perspective. The strip is known for its blend of humor, surrealism, and poignant commentary on childhood and imagination. The early strips in this collection showcase Watterson's developing drawing style and the initial characterizations of Calvin and Hobbes.
