Bill Watterson\\u2019s extraordinary comic strip Calvin and Hobbes made a huge cultural impact in the 80s and 90s, and remains an all-time favorite for both me and Justin. In this conversation, we talk about what makes Calvin and Hobbes so unique, how it connects to other 20th century comic projects from Peanuts to South Park, and how Watterson\\u2019s one man crusade against corporate tyranny pre-figured the social politics of \\u201cselling out\\u201d in the influencer age. And we\\u2019re joined this week by a very special guest, Justin\\u2019s 8 year old son, Konrad, who passionately testifies to Calvin and Hobbes\\u2019 enduring appeal for the youthful imagination.
