Wikipedia:.“[Calvin and Hobbes creator] Bill Watterson[’s] …family relocated to Chagrin Falls, Ohio in 1965 when Watterson was six years old because his mother, Kathryn, wanted to be closer to her family and felt the small town was a good place to raise children.”.He famously used the town as backdrop. “…on the back of The Essential Calvin and Hobbes a giant Calvin is seen rampaging through the town triangle in Chagrin Falls, Ohio all the while holding Chagrin Falls Popcorn Shop.” (http://calvinandhobbes.wikia.com/wiki/Calvin’s_Hometown).Hunh.
