Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 23, 2013

Calvin will not settle for anything low.

Calvin, art critic…

look seriously….

that is a low blow for cartoonists

Yeah…

How about a painting of a cartoon of a painting – all torn apart by tiger claws?

What would Hobbes think of anime?

Where is our Hobbes, btw?

calvin, a pioneer of recursive art :-)

Postmodernism?

Cartoon making ironic critique of cartooning – priceless.

A Calvin & Hobbes cartoon strip. Sophisticated irony, philosophically challenging, enriching. … High art.

And cute!

Deep. ;)

While photographs can be either: “high” art as depicted in the composition, lighting, etc. of portraits and landscapes, or “low” art represented by mug shots and most snapshots, what is a photograph taken of a comic strip?

Yup. Wanted to purchase a two-page original, inked but not colored, pencil lines still visible, with dialogue, sketch from a Green Archer comic book I had as a kid: $500 for two 8 × 11.5 sheets of paper. Budget did not allow for it. Still kicking myself.

Sophistry at it’s ‘artiest’

If only Miss Wormwood could be a fly on the wall … oh, wait.

Say what??!!

I fight a struggle with these difficult terms – highest Art!

I think I just heard a paradigm shifting without a clutch.

Memo to Calvin: Anything you do that doesn’t involve snowmen – “no” art. ;)

Words and pictures together. What a concept. :)

Can you say “Lichtenstein”?

“I would suggest that it’s not the medium, but the quality of perception and expression, that determines the significance of art. But what would a cartoonist know?” -Bill Watterson, talking about this strip

Cute! Made me a bit dizzy though.

LOL xxx

tell that to Berkeley Breathed

Anime is animation. Animation moves. How is that “static”?

Pretty sure you completely missed the point of JackButler’s post. The idea was to use a bunch of mumbo-jumbo words the way a lot of art critics and such do. They usually make about as much sense. Correct me if I’m wrong, JackButler.

I’ve been reading some C&H stips lately. I’ve been realizing— Calvin gets NAKED (or some say nude) a LOT..!

You have no clue what you said, do you?

You’ve been watching the wrong anime, that’s all. Try The Garden of Words, or even My Nieghbour Totoro.

Comments on a comic strip: Not even qualified as art, however artfully the comment was crafted.

What about a painting of a comic strip that has Hobbes painting a comic strip! OH THE PATTERNS!!!

Calvin is smarter than me.

art is what u love, and i love all calvin and hobbes :p
