Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson

Comics are more than just funny doodles. Comics provide inspiration, entertainment and relevant commentary, and can even act as powerful educational resources.

FluentU, an online language-learning tool, highlighted GoComics recently in a blog post about using comics to learn Spanish:

"The GoComics site has a variety of comics in Spanish, and with their smartphone apps you can have easy access to a daily dose of your favorites - free, if you don't mind the ads. Several longtime favorites like Garfield, Dilbert, Calvin and Hobbesand Peanutsare available."

In addition to Spanish translations of funny-page staples, we have a number of native Spanish-language comics, such as Gaturroand Tutelandia. According to FluentU, reading comicsoriginally written in Spanish is a great way to "be introduced to cultural information from the cartoon's home country."
