## Resource

One of the great things about Calvin and Hobbes is that Bill Watterson really knew how to draw. He also had (probably still has) a lot of opinions about what makes something "art." To help us discuss this, we are joined by Jenny Robb, curator of the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum, where most of the originals of Calvin and Hobbes are housed. We had a great discussion- come check it out! Here is a list of the comics mentioned this episode, along with their publication dates and the books where they can be found. You can find out more about the Billy Ireland museum here: https://cartoons.osu.edu/ We would love to hear from you! You can email us at MagicCandH@proton.me And you can join our Facebook page here!
